You seem unfamiliar with farming practices of large (and small) farms, including the sask hutterites nowadays. Straight lines are preferable for gps (seeding, spraying, swathing, ect....).
Buildings, shelter belts, sloughs, are removed

Land sales are usually to "factory farms" and the sale generally does not include the home place. Houses and outbuildings are not high on the list of assets favoured by consortiums interested in commodity prices and the proximity of said lands in relation to their own. Around here it is typically a Hutterite colony that wants the tillable land only. Equipment and the accoutrements of farm life are sold by auction and the family lifestyle is over. Typically the house doesn't sell and becomes a rental "acreage" for a gentleman farmer to raise his organic chicken and lamb or a city family seeking solace from the crimes in the urban environment.

Where would Mr. and Mrs. Stanley go and what would become of their son if they forced themselves off their land? Get a job on an oil rig? A car wash? Go on welfare? These are farmers, not quitters.

Selling a farm and moving is exactly the same. You get the cheque sign the Transfer of Estate in Fee Simple and write a cheque.
A farm is a lifetime of ownership? Who are you trying to fool? Farm land is turned over more than 3 year old pickups if the money is right.
Gentleman farmer? Is that a name of honor placed on chicken ranchers?
How can you in the very last paragraph insult oil workers and laborers, place farmers on a pedestal above everyone else and call everyone not a farmer a quitter?
That land was for sale when they bought it. It will likely sell again.
There's not a lot of land being made anymore, some farmer will grab it and plow the house or sell it to be moved.

I could tear apart every single line of your argument, but there is no point. You will call me names and say everyone else on the forum is wrong.

The Stanleys will end up where they put the keys in the door and keep going from there. Maybe he will go into Politics. Maybe the son will become a Lawyer and one day a Judge. They have had a crash course in Litigation.

Let's agree to disagree.

I would like to read the story in a few years, as told by someone that was involved from the start of the day. 5 Went, 4 Return. Probably a very interesting read !

What are the chances of someone looking to ESCAPE crime moving there?

Bet there is a big lineup of potential buyers waiting to experience the quiet tranquility and peaceful life that is known as the Stanley's farm.

Truth be known, I just drove past the place. It is 25 km from our village and not on the way to anywhere. Pretty lonely spot in the rolling bush lands on the western flank of the Bear Hills. Nothing is changed by all appearances and we've heard no scuttlebutt about any new folks out that way. If you search the Remax site you can find a map. If you have an interest you can interpret the data given and apply it to a Google earth view.

Which brings me back to the point I made earlier. The person who thought they'd moved was mistaken. I should have chosen my words more carefully so as not to enrage a certain participant in this conversation. I will admit that calling someone Mr. Corvette when he so clearly does not own one is name-calling and I have been shamed for the doing of it.

Yep, ah ha, cough, cough, hack, cough......
