The rising average age of farmers today is related to the collapse in interest rates. As land prices continue in an upward trajectory it becomes harder and harder for any farmer to pass the land on to the next generation unless they are willing to hand it over for at a substantial discount.
Again, this relates back to the collapse in interest rates. A retired farmers needs a substantially larger nest egg to assure a comfortable retirement than was the case twenty or thirty years ago thanks to term deposits that now yield near zero.
When so much uncertainty surrounding retirement abounds, it is little wonder than older farmers prefer to cash out and tell the kids to stick to a day job.

Maybe she wants to move out of town and back to the country!
That took a little different hunting tackle than what I was offering to help you with. LOL And no she wouldn't move back to the country I don't think unless you had a little place on the island out west.
