Frank In some places I have heard of such things. Here its about a contract and first come first serve. That may sound rough, but the world is a rough place. The only person that can be blamed is the person that did not bid on the property. The previous farmer should have known it was up for bid. That is not your fault. Around our parts farmers get what they can in a heavily urbanized county. Sometime a farmer gets ill, I know one that got throat cancer and was unable to farm for close to two years. He lost the land he leased to another farmer. We did not get a chance to bid because we did not know, but were not angry about it. We could have kept better tabs early on but we did not. That was our fault. Can the land owner be blamed for searching out new farmers to work the land? Someone needs to farm that land for the land owner otherwise it gets taken out of CAUV, higher taxes are paid and lots of folks are effected by the land not being used. Everyone around here understands that and either we step in and help or bid. I know you have been wanting to expand its been slow and I hope this works out well for you. In the end, you jumped through the hoops and were rewarded for it by the owners of the land. Congrats on your new acquisition and make sure you use this a lesson for your future and your use of this particular land and make sure it does not happen to you. :) Richard Stewart Carriage House Farm North Bend, Ohio An Ohio Century Farm Est. 1855 (513) 967-1106 On Apr 19, 2009, at 9:05 AM, Frank Ventura wrote:
