I would give the younger two the farm and the older one more cash to offset the the fact he didn't get the farm. Why give a farm to someone who doesn't want it and why sell the farm out on the two that would want to keep it? This soluton seems to keep the peace and make everyone happy.
This is what my in-laws did. They had quite a bit of land that is used for hunting and tree farming. The two boys are always up there hunting and working the land. The four girls could care less as they don't hunt and have no interest in tree farming. The boys were left the land and the girls were left the house and more cash so everyone came out even.
In my mind it would have been insane to just split everything 6 ways or to force the sale of the land. The girls would have been put in the awkward positon of wanting to sell the land but feeling forced to negotiate with their brothers. Then what is one of the girls decides not to sell but has no intenton of contributing to the tree farming business. Why open that can of worms when you can just leave everyone exactly what they want and avoid any potential issues?
