The profitability of the farm, although fragile, was established from the mid-1860s to the end of the 19th century and the technical success, sanctioned by awards (departmental agricultural competition of 1864, Exposition Universelle (1878)), is undeniable at that time (soils sustainably recultivated, increased yields). However, competition from sugar beet farms in the North of France and the rise of labour costs put the estate in difficulty, and it was gradually broken up, with the family of its founder separating for good in 1981. Only part of the grain stores and the distillery remain from the central farm, as well as some ruined walls of the barn. The network of drains and ditches is still in place in the 21st century.
