Penhook farmer fights foreclosure as moonlight fades
Johnny Angell, 73, and wife Sharon face foreclosure on 364 acres after Farm Credit of the Virginias says they are more than 880,000 dollars in debt and 73 days overdue. Johnny, long a flue cured tobacco expert, died May 14 after years of illness. The couple, married since 1973, kept farming with help from friends even as industry changes whittled profits.
