This is farmed owned by my grandfather, Clarence E Simpson. This is a picture of what is now (2019) our grain bin site. I'm not sure who lived in that old house located in the trees. I know we called this the Sievers farm and the newer house east of this lane and older home was where i grew up with my parents, Charles and Arvilla (Dawson) Simpson. My dad, Charles; his brother Eugene; farmed with their dad, Clarence E Simpson. They were corn, soybean farmers, raised black angus cattle, and as a side job they had an excavating business. Some of their contributions to Farmer City included the building of the Farmer City Raceway tracks, High school football field, and numerous jobs cleaning out drainage ditches.
