With Lux, here. I'd need to see some statistics on the family farm issue. Got lost of farmers in my family, and most of them "retired" from the farm and passed it along in some manner to their children long before they died. I'd imagine they made them a partner, or sold it to them under a version of "owner financing" with favorable terms.
I suspect the loss of the family farm comes about more often when the next generation does not WANT to farm, and then it must be sold off. Again, in my family, THAT's when the farm was "lost."
