Great granpa recently passed away, leaving nan to run the farm.
His passing wasnt sudden he had been ill for a while so she was prepared.
She grows fruit and veg, makes many farm fresh products to pay the day to day bills and has been getting by so far.
Today she rang me in tears, saying the bank is taking the farm from under her!!
Gramps suffered dementia and Alzheimer's and unbeknown to nan had not been paying what needed to be payed. He had ran up debts everywhere, $2.5 million worth.
I refuse to let this happen so I am going to get the farm profitable and pay the debt.
I know there are about a dozen dairy cattle, 10 sheep and some chickens.
A few decent fields, which are very overgrown and not been worked for a few years.
Everything is small old and worn, I think the biggest HP is 60-70, so it will be a struggle for me as a modern farmer.
Nan said there is a neighbour Stephan who was close friends with gramps.
He owns a piggery and has some slightly less antique equipment that he will let us use if needed. Which is great as gramps never grew crops, only grass.
If we can get some crops going g it might increase the income.
Still need to do grass as the cattle and sheep still need food and there is very little feed in storage.
Anyways that's it for now.
I will let y'all know how I go with the progress.
