Multiple mortgages on a 240 year old farm? Sounds like they already sold the farm to the bank! No matter what those salesmen say, there is no good reason to borrow against your land if you want to be a farmer. I also find it very sad that after 240 years they still feel their land has "too much clay" to be successful. Dont get me wrong I feel bad for the loss of any family farm when it happens but it bugs me when I hear about "starving farmers" that blame the world for their mistakes and generations of land mismanagement.
Ask any successful farmer and they will tell you they grow dirt.
