That is why I am asking the question. When does the contract terminate? The original contract stipulates the partner is responsible for the replanting, so there is an assumption that there will be a roll-over, which is another 25, 30 or 40 years. If a party signed a contract in the 1990s, he or she signed away the farm. That is if it is a roll-over contract, if we consider the timescale of the contracts is 30 to 40 years.
