Sean: The land will be split between us. He is getting 125 acres and I am getting 115 acres. There is a section line that runs east and west that splits the farm.
The land has a creek and valley that runs right down the middle of it. That section line darn near follows the creek. Then the hills and ridges go north and south out of this valley. Until 1871 the 115 acres was part of my Great Great Great Grand Father's farm. His daughter married the neighbor's son. Her(my) family gave/sold them 115 acres and his family gave sold/them 125 acres. So the couple had 240 acres to farm. They had to build all the buildings as they just got bare land. My son owns the farm the son's family owned. So we are actually putting the farms back to how they where originally.
The original section line markers are there. I took the county auditor's field man out there last week. We will not need a survey as we are going to put the line right on the section line that is already marked. Just had to have two legal descriptions filed and each abstract up dated.
The house and buildings are on the part goes with my home farm. I now own all the land on each side of the grade "B" road. I am going to have the county officially close the road. I then will build a good road to the home site. The original road was built on a section line with no regard to how the land lays. I can move the lane here and there an make it much easier to maintain.
My oldest Grand daughter likes old houses and buildings. She is coming up tomorrow to look them over real close. The outcome I want to happen is that she likes the setup. I will do the road closing and lane building. Then give a easement to the property. There is about fifty acres that could be split off with the home site and make a really nice place to live. If she likes it I will make it so she can get started there. She will turn 33 this summer. She is getting married in June. Her husband is a farm kid too. I think they could make this into a heck of a good home for themselves.
P.S. On a personal note. Last year I was able to make my first wife's and my dream of our children being landowners come true. I have decided to work with my children to help my Grand kids reach that goal. No free rides but a helping hand towards a better life for themselves.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
