We've got a good friend that will be the last of a generation of farmers and dairy farmers going back well over 100 years. He's currently 92 and still farming and raising beef cattle as much as his health will allow.
I have to say from what I've seen the children do their best to take care of him and his needs and help out as well a they can but they simply know so little about "real farming" to always do or buy what is really needed. The sad thing is, beyond that none of them have any real desire to do any farming. Even worse, as it stands the 170 or so acres of land will probably be sold off to developers making the children rich after he's gone and he'll get none of the monetary rewards for a life of hard work.
