Hope this make sence to you, this old lawmaterial is hard to translate.

Torger Fredriksen Hårstad born about 1702, he died at age 84 in 1786. Farmer on Hårstad from 1741-1781.
Torger Fredriksen´s deed (property) or as a gift he sold and handed over to his son Svend Torgersen his "broderlodd" his allodial birthright (as fredrik Torgersens brother) 1 øre 14 2/5 marklag (an old measurement for a piece or a part of land in a farm), "med bøksel" including the leasehold land and the "odel" allodial birthright for 200 Riksdaler, the payment was on August 26.1769.
February 26. 1777 Torger sold his part (50%) including the leasahold 2 øre to his son Fredrik Torgersen for 125 Riksdaler. Torger Fredriksen and his son Svend Torgersen sold Hårstad including the leashold 1 spand 1 øre to the oldest son Fredrik Torgersen for 300 Riksdaler. This took place on January 2. 1781.

Here is an English version of the Norwegian Odel/Odelsrett still exisiting in Norway as the only country in the world. I have been told Minnesota still has a "simulare" law, click here

This is my gggrandfather who I would like information on the farm he went to and what happened to it since he left to come to the US. Everyone else that I have traced back is the harstad farm last name. I would like to find out why he left and find living relations to tell me things which I find hard to find.

Eriksen Hårstad, Arn
1590-1650
"Bruker" User of he farm.
Born about 1590
Dead about 1650.
Håsrstad, Nørrigard (a local pronunciation for the Northern farm) was split up about 1600. First probably in two equal parts, Nørrigard and Søstuggu (Norhern and Southern Hårstad). Then Søstuggu was split up in two farms, Utstuggu (Outher Hårstad) and Søstuggu. The value "Skyld" for Nørrigard was the same as for the two other farms together. In 1645 6 people older than 12 years lived on the farm, among them Fredrik and his wife. In 1635 Fredrik signed an agreement concerning "førsel" (not sure, likel acting about a road, trespassing etc.)

"Skyld" valued the farm if it was sold, by inheritance and set the tax paid to the king.

Arntsen Hårstad , Torger
1625
User of Nørrigard Hårstad 1663-1709
Born about 1625, dead about 1709, age 93
1689, "Munderingspenge" to Colonel Lieutenant Fyhn, Torger paid 13 Riksdaler (Munderingspenger was a tax ment for uniforms to the soldiers)
"Ved prestens mantall" the 1664-66 census, Torger was 40 years, i.e. born about 1624-26.
1701, age 80, an old soldier.

Eriksen Hårstad Fredrik
1595-1663
User of the farm 1635-63
Born 1595
Dead 1663
Signed an agreement in 1635 consernig "Førsel" of Ore and Provisions concerning Inset/Kvikne(likely two farms) Fredrik and his wife lived on the farm in 1645. Fredrik paid tax for one of the largest Lifestocks in the country side.

"Bonde og eier" Farmer and owner of Hårstad 1781-1790
Born 1744, christened April 12. 1744. Died at age 47 in 1790.
Fredrik Torgersen died in 1790 and in 1793 Hårstad, on behalf of all the children, their Guardian sold the farm to the step father Løden Olsen Bjerkaker on certain conditions for 399 Riksdaler

Torgersen Hårstad Fredrik
1809-89
Born 1809, christened Feb. 19. 1809, died July 8. or Sept 7. (Norwegin or English date?)
1829, deed (property) on 1 spand and 21 marklag (a value of a certain part of the farm) from Fredrik Torgersen to Torger Fredriksen for 500 Riksdaler.
1829 "Kårkontrakt" he set up a contract which secured him and his wife free room and board on the farm as long as they lived.
1863 Deed (Property) from Fredrik Torgersen to his son Torger Fredriksen of the farms Hårstad and Hårstadkroken, 1 spand 1 øre for 1000 Spesidaler.
1863 "kår" (see kårkontrakt abowe) from Torger Fredriksen to his parents
1871, Mai 12. A contract for Salomonfishing in the river Orkla lasting for 10 years between Torger Fredriksen, Parker and Simond (could be two well-to-do English Lords)

The weight, approximately, since the unit of a measurement could change from century to century.
I spand was 9 Kilogram/18 Pound and 1 mark (marklag) was half a pound, so 1 spand and 21 marklag was 28,5 pund , in most cases calculated in Butter or corresponding products. 28,5 pound of butter correspond to about 115 pound of Grain.
When it comes to taxes, 1 spand was estimated to 72 mark.

1 øre was the value of 27 gram of silver (1 pound is about 453 Gram)

Torger Fredriksen born 1841 is the last one that I find had the Haarstad farm. I see he only had two living daughters and the two sons died before the age of one. So does anyone know who took over the farm? I don't know where to go from here.
