the one i could say here, is my cousins are facing the same exact thing, and the farm is 180 acres, the problem is these days using traditional farming practices say corn and beans, you cant make a living on those acres, the only way you can is some sort of specialty crop either plant or animal, if you dont farm it you still have the taxes on that property and the fact that its not a producing farm may change the tax rate, on the old farmstead we all grew up on, they cant get bigger as the land on all 4 sides is already owned and producing for bigger farmers and they wont sell any of it, you could subdivide it to rich real estate developers,if your near a town but you'll likely get fought by other land owners , its bad on 2 counts first farmers dont really want rich town folks and their spioled kids raising ned all over there fields on atv's ect, also the biggest problem is the land itself once the land is gone, where will we get our food? city folks and developers think food comes from the big store in town,me id actually like to find a old farmstead with only the acres the buildings are on left, to retire too, plenty of room to store, work on old tractors and all my stuff and probably room for a big garden to eat off of , about all id need
