The owners of the oldest family farm in the U.S. have decided to sell after 378 years. As Russ Mitchell reports, while America's small farms are vanishing, this one will have a better fate.

That 3 million of paper money sure seems risky in the current financial meltdown taking place. Land is the ONLY thing folks have that has any REAL value. I'd say that this family sold out their legacy. What a shame.

What a shame. Whats ironic is that now, in 2012, there is a world-wide massive back-to-the-land-movement unfolding. As the world has woken up from the daze of unsustainable living, debt slavery, capitalist banksters destroying jobs, depression and suicide skyrocketing, people are again looking to the life our grandparents enjoyed. They will regret this forever. The modern world is unnatural, it's a sickness, a deep sadness. Agrarian societies are the ONLY societies that are truly natural.

If I only had an extra 3 million dollars:( I don't know anything about farming, so I'd have to learn to speak Spanish to be able to run the place efficiently and affordably. Well, my son is seven, but he wants to be a contractor like his dad(me). But, farming would be sooo much fun and we could do it together NOW. I think the parents screwed up in that aspect. MODERN SOCIETY :( To me, this would be a sad day. Best wishes to the family. I think that selling is a HUGE MISTAKE!

That's sad that it won't continue in the same family. :(

@XxTheHybridxX The kids should start their own life without the money from the farm if they don't want work it Sad many would jump at the chance to have a farm
