It was family property that was sold off to a group of investors, who then sold it to an individual.
That can't be quite right either. There is no way 1000's of acres changed hands by only 2 transactions. I swear they said something about a lot of smaller sale offs of the original tract.

The Morrison's bought it (North Farm) from a prominent Baton Rouge family while it was still in timber. They cleared and developed it into a farm.
In 1998 they sold a shade over 42,000 ac to a group of Chicago investors. Those investors spun off a few thousand acres around the perimeter, but kept the farm otherwise intact. It sold to the current owners in 2005, who added a few hundred acres. Then sold off a few thousand last year.
The Chicago investors group was the one that enrolled Honey Brake into WRP.
