Have you considered contacting your local community college ag department? How about the local FB office? Just had an idea--how about contacting the CC or a 4H club and offering to "rent" (for a small amount) a couple of acres to someone interested in organic crops? That way you could get to know the person and maybe work something out down the line--?

How cool that you raise Dexters. I think they are so cute! Don't you have any relatives to leave the farm to?? Well I am a major country gal who loves lots of land. There are large housing plans going up left and right all around us and I hate it. My dad has it written somehow in his will that his property can never be broken up or divided in any way. I think everyone should do that, but I know a lot of folks are struggling and have to sell bits and pieces of their land. Jeanne has a good idea too. Even something to get young folks out to teach them a bit of farming life. My dad plants crops for our local food bank, and kids have come out and volunteered their time to pick/plant crops. It's amazing how some of them know nothing about growing veggies and such. Good luck

You might also contact some local area farmers' markets and find out about getting word out through there. I know at our farmer's market there are plenty of young farmers who would like a place to get started but don't have enough money or something... There are many good ideas here- you could allow a co-operative venture of young farmers, etc etc... What a wonderful opportunity you can give to someone!!!

UW Madison has a great beginner dairy program full of students eager to get started farming. You may want to give them a call.

There is also a publication called Graze (you can google for further contact information) that is published in SW WI which focuses on grass farming (i.e grazing dairy, beef, etc.). You could contact the publisher and I am sure he could drum up some interest for you.

Interested young farmers are out there looking for exactly the kind of opportunity that you are offering. I hope you find a good match.

I also think getting the word out may be the best bet. Takes time but someone will know someone... who plans to have a farm.

Have you considered getting the land certified organic? In Canada it's a 3 year process, and it isn't terribly expensive. If you are "in transition" to becoming organicaly certified, you may find someone who was looking for an organic farm.

Also, do you have a "Agriculture Land Reserve" or something similar? Around here, you can apply to have your land zoned ALR and it can't be used for purpouses other than agriculture. Huge pain to get it out. Often not possible.

Good luck! Until I found my land I had hoped to find someone like yourself who wanted their farm to 'get a good home'. It didn't work out that way, as everyone here would rather sell out to a developer.
Never, ever trust a real estate agent!!!
