Dorman and Jean had four sons who were all born throughout the 50s and 60s. During this time, Walter Hodges passed away from cancer. Dorman Mizell took over the farm from the 1960s and continued to work the hatchery and raise chicks into the 1980s along with his sons.

In 1983, Hollywood came calling and wanted chickens from the farm to be used in Jackie Gleason's upcoming sequel "Smokey and the Bandit Part 3." Over 300 chickens were used in the movie which was being filmed in Fort Lauderdale. In the 1990s, Hodges Poultry Farm was bought out, like so many other small family businesses.

In 1999, Walter & Helen Hodges great-granddaughter, Amy Mizell, took over the north eastern half of the farm and began building her dream horse farm. After attending college at Texas Tech University and Auburn University studying Animal Science Business, she returned home with her degree in 2005 and expanded into horse boarding, training, and raising Paint horses with the help of her maternal grandfather, Charles Brooks. She met her husband, Kevin Green, in March of 2007 and they married in March 2008. They welcomed their first and only child, Colt, in June 2009. After briefly leasing the farm out in 2012 to focus on her son, Amy took the farm back over in 2013 and renamed it Plantation Oaks Farms to appeal to a wider variety of equestrians. In 2014, the farm expanded again to open the new air conditioned rustic event barn. The farm still has a lot more expansion to come in the near future.
