Why not just buy the farm? Might be easier. Or perhaps
just that
part of the farm that your plants reside on?

Well, it was just appraised at over $1 million....
And the mention of buying (my) part of it immediately
raised unexpected (although they shouldn't have been
unexpected) reactions from future beneficiaries of monies
generated by the sale.

Well, I guess the lesson there is never invest in land you
don't
own. Others here have had some good suggestions for your
plight.
As a further thought, the "future beneficiaries" may
object to your
removing the plants because it may affect the sale value of
the land.
i seriously doubt that. a farm appraised at one million is
going to a housing developer & all those plants will be
bulldozed. the future beneficiaries are short-sighted morons.
That may not be the case. Here, good black soil acrage is 10,000/acre, so
a
million is a smallish farm.
It won't go to a developer. The land is in conservation easements, and
there were only 2 division rights to begin with. There are 70 acres, and
it's a horse farm.
I do trust my stepfather to make good decisions and I'm not angry with him
for selling, just disappointed that I have to move.
I have seen 5 acres with no improvements offered at $300K here in Albemarle
County.
Ridiculous, isn't it?
