Glad to hear you got to keep most of your equipment and part of the property, sounds like you are starting a new chapter in a new book of life with the new house, building dams and waterways and all. Id close the old book on that last chapter, skip the auction, fire up "the machine" the night before the auction and let it run all the next day, in your general area of course.

Joe does ya think that block will fit in your lunch box? I know, even stropped down to bare block it would never fit in my regulation Rawhide lunch box featuring Rowdy Yates aka Clint Eastwood on the lid, even w/o the Thermos.

I went to the auction site but it no longer lists your place. Inquiring minds need to know how much money you will be spending on the new house, and the pretty machine?

lol...John! I was completly not involved with the auction. I retained my 1/3 of the farm ground last Sept was the ownership time. this auction was for the stockholders selling off their ground. what was left of Dad's and Grandpa's farm. there was 3 tracts left: 27 acres, 126 acres, and 81 acres. auction results were: $5150/acre, $11,600/acre, $9300/acre respectivly. they still have alot of expencises coming out of that money yet. plus taxes. the big green farmers did not buy any of it. 2 of the parcels will be farmed by others, and one parcel was purchased by Okeefe Elevator Company. they have been buying up alot of farm ground in the area and they then turn it into grasslands, no more farming of crops. they have 1000's of acres around here so far. I had alot of folks approch me at the auction asking if they could farm my ground? I told all of them NO! oh....and if any of ya'll will be selling your farm ground in the future....I would not recommend Farmers National Company to sell it. this was a pretty crude auction and they're advertising on the sale really sucked! I'm glad I was not involved in this sale. well....other than what I retained, the rest of Dad's and Grandpa's farm is gone forever! I'm glad I was able to keep some of it. I still cherish it!

Shameless I for one am glad you went to the auction. You know who bought it and the prices. You know who your neighbors are. With the family situation as you have stated it, maybe for the best. And now I hope you have some kind of closure and can move on to your next journey with some peace knowing it's yours to do what you want. Go stand on your ground, smile and say this is MINE!! Good luck in the future.

Why is OEC buying land if their just turning it into grassland, for an investment, or some other purpose?

I'm not for certain why O'keefe is doing what they are doing, but right now I applaude them for it. I do like seeing some of the land returning to the original way it was long ago. They apparently are not interested in profiting from any crops that could be grown on all the land they have been buying. maybe it's for an investment on land values down the road? God isn't making anymore ground, maybe it's their way of preserving what's out there that's left? Plus it should improve wildlife habitat alot!

Oh, my mistake, I was thinking you were getting a smaller portion of the sale proceeds along with the land. We were all looking forward to helping you spend it! Hopefully someone other then the green guys will be farming the land next to you, maybe someone who respects the land and not just a crop miner. I'm sure we will be more then happy to help you design your new house and give advice on how you should do it...
Oh, and I guess I don't have to go over to the stakeholder's place near me any more and write obscene comments on his lawn with Roundup?

Thank you all....I now know who my new neighbors will be and so far I like them! Dad's house also sold, the house will be entertaining a new set of little kids with all the love that house provided for other families kids thru the years. I did provide alot of info on each parcel of land that sold to the new buyers, they all thanked me for that info! I even told the one about the BIG rock i found while plowing one day! and told another about not V-ripping the ground he just bought, unless he wanted to replace all the tile in that field that the auction company never mentioned! he really appreciated that! depending on who brings the beer on any certain days, I think we'll all be one big happy family....without the stockholders!

I gotta be a bit more careful in the neighborhood, a Cop bought Dad's house, and he has a K-9, it'll be a bit harder to pull any tricks on him! oh...well...I been tormenting Cops for years...just ad one more to the list!

Careful, some of us might get friendly with that new neighbor of yours and have him cite you for willful intent when that machine gets out of line!

Knowing what a charmer Shameless must be to not be locked up already. They will test that no money bail out and he walks away again.
