All great comments since my last post.
Sunil -- we are banking on getting the best deal we can get. We are lining up the best assistance we can find.
Al D -- I believe they are currently delaying. But, the current description says that upon ratification of a price, they will give us 10% of the negotiated price for a one year option. Should that option expire, they will renew for one additional year at an additional 10%. They can just keep going. Each lawsuit prolongs the final agreement. In the meantime, we are in limbo.
If I were 10 years younger, this wouldn't be so difficult to accept. Right now, it puts our retirement and life planning into a very strange quandary for at least two or three years. It doesn't make sense for us to continue any the many improvements we've been working on. Sale potential to a new owner is virtually zero at this point. We don't have enough money to buy another farm, keep this one while things are in litigation, and attempt to semi-retire.
I look at my comments, and I think I've gone negative. I know there has to be a positive side. Ideas on how to get past this are greatly welcomed.
