ANew Jersey family trying to save their 175-year-old farm from being seized by a local government are getting support from the Trump administration.
The Cranbury city government announced its intention to seize the 21-acre farm through eminent domain in order to build low-income apartments, but the Henry family is resisting.
On Tuesday, Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins said the power of the federal government would intercede in the case on the side of the family.
"On the phone with Andy Henry of Highland Ranch in Cranbury, NJ. The city govt has approved seizing his 175-year-old family farm via eminent domain for affordable housing units," wrote Rollins.

Folks are going to bring up the woman who wouldn't sell her place to Trump (Vera Coking), so he had to build around her home.

What was that terrible Supreme Court decision that said seizing land to give to a developer was AOK? Dobson?

This is wrong. Bad move for Trump.
The family leases the land out. They don’t live there.

It’s still their land and it’s a farm.

Being pro private property is a bad move for Trump? How so? How is it a bad move for Trumo?

Fighting over 21 acres is a sign we have too many people in the USA.

Leasing out old spreads is a common practice. They are just farmed by others. It’s farmed and better than replacing with low income projects that ruin communities.

This is happening because of an affordable housing mandate by the courts based on N.J. statute. Sadly all counties are subject to it and there is a real threat that more farmland and open space will be seized to meet the mandated housing numbers.

>>>declare the farm a national historic landmark.
That requires the owners to constantly spend mega amounts of money to keep it exactly the way it is, once declared.

That is completely irrelevant.
