    Hi Farmer,<br>
    I live in Michigan, and here, provided the farm has been in
    existence long enough, you can have it declared a Centennial Farm.
    What it boils down to is it can be sold, but must remain in farming
    of some sort, and not made into a subdivision. There are also tax
    incentives if I'm not mistaken. <br>

          have been a little shaky as is common for old school farmers

        <div>I do find myself being less concerned these days about
          making sure that what I do will last 100 years. I'm still
          optimistic enough to pretend that I still need a 5 year plan
          but my old concept of a 20 year plan doesn't carry a lot of
          weight.</div>
        <div>There are several reasons for that. The first is pretty
          obvious, one of those other reasons is that the farm I put my
          blood, sweat and tears in since 1951, which was a couple of
          miles out in the country is now only about a quarter mile
          across a creek from a rapidly moving city limits... Land
          around me that I grew up farming either as rented land or as
          custom work is now infested with houses... The chances of this
          place falling victim to the bulldozers just keeps increasing.
          In recent years the words "eminent domain" are getting tossed
          around more and more freely. (shrug)...<br>
