Sapp Farm on "Old Lincoln Highway", Now 2256 Shady Oaks Road, Le Grand Township, Southeast of Marshalltown, Iowa. Farm has been in the Sapp Family since about 1880.

Hi Gary,
Has the family farmed the same crops or animals since 1880?

The farm has always produced corn and soybean crops. At one time, there was a small heard of milking cows. The barn and most of the old trees are now gone. The acreage is now rented out to a neighbor. the house c. 1910 is still original with a few minor modifications.
