– It means a lot to all of us, says Per Sverre Bremnes. Now the dream of running the farm can come true again. Because the 91-year-old was determined to strangle the farm dream of Per Sverre and his roommate when he wanted to demand that the farm be transferred to him through the Estates Act. But then came the counter-notice: – On behalf of my father, I can confirm that the estate claim on the farm Lillebakken has been waived. This is what the son of the 91-year-old wrote in an e-mail to the Nation. – I got the spark back – We have come to a solution that all parties agree on. We have agreed and he has renounced the right to divorce. This is great news. This is what the current owner of the farm, Jan Håvard Refsethås, says. The plan was that his stepson, Per Sverre, and his roommate would take over the operation of the farm when Refsethås retired. Jan Håvard Refsethås says he is happy that the step son and his partner can fulfill their dream of running the farm in Holtålen.

The 23-year-old is delighted with how everything worked out. – I got the spark back and now it’s just food to keep going. For over 20 years, Jan Håvard Refsethås has built up the herd with Angus cows. They are so popular that he makes good money selling live animals to other farmers.

Something that allows him to claim a share of the farm. – I don’t doubt that he has the right of ownership to the farm, but it’s a bit of a shame that a 91-year-old squeezes out a young couple who want to continue running the farm, Refsethås told news last week. The letter that Jan Håvard Refsethås received this summer, after he formally took over the farm in Holtålen.

The following year she moved into a nursing home. In order for the process surrounding the transfer of the farm to go smoothly, her son renounced the right of inheritance, and Refsethås was able to buy the farm in the spring of 2024. The family map shows how the 91-year-old had right of inheritance on the farm to Refsethås.

And the daughter of Per Sverre and Jenny, Marie, gets to grow up on the farm as they had been looking forward to. – I grew up with animals myself and that upbringing is something I can give to everyone, say Per Sverre Bremnes and Jenny Myhr on the farm together with their three-month-old daughter Marie. Photo: Lars Os / news The young couple have been working as part-timers on the farm. And Per Sverre has quit his job as a machine operator to run the farm full-time. Since 2000, Refsethås has built the farm they will now take over with a new barn, a farmhouse and created a robust nursing hive settlement. – It is important for the whole rural community that we have farms with animals. For this herd, I spend many hundreds of thousands of kroner on feed, transport and other services, which in turn create more jobs, says Refsethås.
