I can tell you that an offer of $2 million was turned down by the owners

You wouldn't believe what the last developer offered us for our farm.

And he was willing to pay the tax penalties and capital gains taxes
which, to date, would come to roughly $7 million on top of what he
wanted to pay for the property.

Supposedly, cash to boot.

Nah.

I like this place and I want to turn it over to the kids at some

no-development agreement in the first place.

Besides, we already have a place down south.
