[QUOTE="Devil's advocate, post: 6241674, member: 1504"] Why should those who are pushed out into the real world, have to go with nothing or not much. I don't get this argument. About farms folding. Say 4 kids & three work hard and leave home, its tough out there but they build a life. Dopiest of the four stays at home & does the work that someone on 20K would be happy to do. There is a £2-£5 million asset in the farm, why on earth should that not be divided fairly. Plus many of you put so much importance on farm work as if it is so much more important than anything else. I can think of many daughters who have looked after parents with illness for years. But then all the money has to go to little Fred because he is struggling on the farm. Even though he has an asset worth millions. Every family is different & some farmers are poor some are rich. But if a farmer is poor should he be encouraging kids to stay at home? I know very few who are disinherited & are happy about it. The only ones I can think of are daughters who have married a richer husband than their brother. The best thing to have is a close family, that is more important than money. It is much likely to stay close if there is no resentment about money. [/QUOTE]
