At least where I am from most all 2nd gen. sons and daughters (who may very well still LIVE in the farm house) sold out to large corps. who farm the land. It is called "country rich" in IN b/c in the 80s when everyone sold their farms to the Perdues and Tysons of the world they got paid bigtime.

That hasn't happened here yet. I have noticed that most of the farmers' children are not going into farming. We've got people in their 80's still farming with two generations of decendents that are dentists and whatnot. I often wonder what will happen to all of those farms. What I've seen so far is that they tend to get sold to other farmers.
