Sounds like it would be easier to move the in- laws to NY unless they have more inventory than you. I agree on the idea of having family around when a child is young. I was raised with my mothers parents right up the road. My grandparents were as much of an influence on my life as my parents. I purchased their home after my grandmother passed on. My grandfather passed away 2 years ago at the age of 101. I often think back over the first 35 +/- years of my life with both grandparents alive as one of the happiest times in my life. My sister and her family lived up the road from me till 4 or 5 years ago , when they relocated to MO , due to NY taxes and winters. In many ways she now regrets the move as they have moved halfway across the US from their families . I think the problem of less farms is not just a NY issue , it is more of an economy issue. Higher operating expenses, taxes, fuel costs etc which outpace commodity prices keep driving more people out of business and only the largest operations can make enough money to really keep going. I'm sure you notice along with less farms are less Equipment dealers and Ag related businesses. My area (just south of Syracuse ) continues to become less of a rural area all the time but I dont plan on leaving due to family in the area and it would cost a pretty good amount to start over somewhere else , although if I sold out here the proceeds would probably buy me a decent sized farm ?? Well, good luck whatever you decide.

We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
