      This is completely off the cuff.  If they own a private company, they can sell that company for up to $500,000 capital gains tax free each.
      If they owned a farm, they could sell the land and quotas for up to $500,000 capital gains free each.
      It sounds to me that they have a buyer who wants the quota and does not have enough for the land.  Perhaps what they should do is sell the whole shebang to a third entity, get eh capital gains tax free and then split it off at that point.  
      THIS IS OFF THE CUFF.  I HAVE NOT SEEN THE BALANCE SHEET AND HAD ANY OTHER INFORMATION.  DON'T DO ANYTHING WITHOOUT FURTHER CONSULTATION.
