I've seen the 3rd generation theory play out several times. It seems like if the 1st and 2nd generation are successful, they send the kids to college and they lose the work ethic and become "too good" to work on the farm.
There is a farm a few miles up the road that the original owner built up during the 80's when everyone else was calling it quits.
