They are, but they'll still take it regardless of if you accept.
They also only pay bare minimum market value, unless you fight in court for years, then you may get a little more.
And to someone who's had that as a heritage, that land is priceless. To them, it's not worth any money, it's their family home. There's generations worth of work and memories there, and now they just get a few measly dollars to relocate to a meaningless property.
It's gotta be even harder on farmers, to have to either relocate or put down their animals.

It's really sad.
