My parents owned the farm in the lower half of this photograph. They bought it in 1964 and still owned most of the land at their death in 2002. They planted the trees east of the house. My family has sold the rest of the land. Most of the outbuildings have been taken down. My parents owned a tinted, framed print of these buildings; the print is now owned by my younger brother.

Hi Loren,
What crops did your family farm? While growing up where was your favorite place to hang out or play?

My dad raised corn, flax, oats, soybeans, alfalfa. He also owned milk cows, feeder cattle, pigs. I spent summers there while in college, helping on the farm. My favorite place was the haymow, with its huge door and views.
