I am not going to get a clear answer so I will not proceed further. I appreciate that this is also difficult for our guests. I understand fully that when they lend money, their right to want it back is important. With regard to specific evictions and in cases where there is a home and a farm involved, does the bank make an attempt to allow the family to remain in the home and, perhaps, secure additional land in the procedure, rather than tossing them out?
