This is the hardest decision our family has ever had to make.

Katrina was fixing to make us homeless too. Do we sit here and wait for the [U.S. Department of Agriculture 's Farm Service Agency] to foreclose on us because of what the neighbors think?

They're fixing to write a contract.

We struggled to put Sarah through college so that she could become a certified X-ray technician. But we are not big spenders and have almost no personal debt. It's all in the farm.

It was a fatal mistake and they were punished for their decision to go against family and social customs.

Actually, the family already voted [on his decision]. And we're waiting for the recount.
