How many generations back does your family farm go?

Question

So, I married into a farm family, and for some reason I thought farming for them went back 4 or 5 generations. But I just learned that they're currently on the 7th generation, with the 8th one likely to join the operation within a decade. That's so cool.

How far up the family tree does farming go for y'all?

Answer

I'm 3rd gen on my dad's side and 6th generation through my mom's side, I'm currently renting the the farm homesteaded in 1862 but I will probably be the last since it's the development is now within a mile. I'll have to rebuild the legacy once I can find the lender that works.
