Photo 57-CRO-9

Comments

My wife and I own this property now. The house was taken down 20 years before we bought it. There is an extension on the corn crib now where we raise steers and a grain bin where the windmill used to be. We replaced the house with a 20's style bungalow that fits right in on the property.

this was the Baker estate . my dad farmed this land from the 50's till the middle 80's from fence line to fence line it was a mile, a long time on a cultivator at about 3 miles an hour . the George Schnell family lived in the house at the time. we used to fill the corncrib , and in the middle there were 4 bins for beans ,there used to be a large woods in the middle but the new owner ripped it out !
