This is coming out of left field, but everyone's use of the "BTO" term kinda gives an icky feeling to the whole thing. Just has a negative ring to it. I've always seen it as a derogatory term towards larger farmers. A farmer is a farmer whether he has 16,000 sq. ft. acres of vegetables or 25,000 of row crops. Why must we use a label? Makes a person subconsciously lean negatively. There are plenty of farmers that don't do a very good job with their land, but the big guys who don't do a very good job get all the bad press 'cause they're a likely target. Maybe I'm biased because I've been involved with and worked for operations that do a damn good job farming because taking care of the land is in their best interest because it makes the most money possible. Yes, I'm sorry, it IS about making money. Just saying there are poor examples all along the spectrum of farm size. Don't lump the large farms together as hotshots or rapists, aka BTO's. Email's open if you wanna unload on me. To the original poster, I hope your family can come to a happy agreement, and good luck!
