Arancher entered into a written contract to buy a farm from a farmer for $100,000. the contract stipulated for closing on september 30. in addition, the contract contained the following provision: "the taxes shall be prorated as agreed to by the parties at a later date." upon the signing of the contract, the rancher gave the farmer a check for $10,000 as a down payment. on september 28, the rancher notified the farmer that he would not be able to close on the farm until october 2, because the closing on his current home, the proceeds from which were to be applied to his purchase of the farm, was unavoidably delayed due to his buyer's illness. meanwhile, the farmer had difficulty finding a home she liked as well as the farm. she decided that she would rather not sell the farm and wished to avoid the contract with the rancher. on october 2, the rancher showed up at the closing with the $90,000 to tender to the farmer. the farmer did not show up. the rancher sues for specific performance. in whose favor will the court most likely rule?
