Comments

it is Bud Goodno's farm near Lake park Iowa and now belongs to his 4 grand children who lease it out for farming. It has been vacant for years and some of the buildings have fallen down. The remaining buildings are in terrible shape as no one has lived there for years. I have spent a lot time there. I went there for 2 weeks every summer from the time I was about 7 years old (1950) till I was 16. At 17 years old I stayed there for 4 mounts and helped on the farm. I started going back every year in 1984 till around 1995.There used to be around 200 head cattle plus pigs and chickens. They grew corn, wheat, oats, clover, and soy beans. Also had milk cows. P>S> I have pictures of the farm taken 3 years ago.

I love this photo. Very cool to see it that way. I am planning to be there in a few weeks...I will take pictures.
