In addition, no land so acquired may be used for farming during the ten - year period except under a lease to a family farm unit, a family farm corporation or an authorized farm corporation. The aforementioned ten - year limitation period shall be deemed a covenant running with the title to the land against any corporate grantee or assignee or the successor of such corporation.
