Key legal question
Whether the buyer proved that the parcels lay within the customary farming area of his agricultural enterprise.
Extracted holding
No. Parcels more than 20 km from the farm center were outside the customary farming area; the alleged future lease could not be considered.
Extracted reasoning
The customary farming area is an open legal concept assessed with restraint. Distance over 20 km excludes a spatial unity absent special decentralized farming conditions such as terrace farming. Transport costs are only an indication and cannot override the distance. Newly leased land is irrelevant for exercising statutory pre-emption rights.
