Marvin and Pat Smith own property in Sparta, Georgia. Their land has been in the Smith family for over 100 years, but now a private railroad company is trying to condemn and take several acres, which would cut their land in half, in order to build a rail spur that would benefit just a single quarry in town.
Blaine and Diane, along with two other couples, have teamed up with IJ to save their land from this taking.
