I do know this farm--I think.
When I was growing up, it was owned by Norbert and Lizzie Beocker. We did custom silo filling, and this was one of the farms at which we chopped the corn to fill the silo. The kids were in the same 4-H club as us, and we attended school together.

You are correct, My Dad bought this farm in 1995 from another local farmer. 2018 it is still known by many locals as the “Boecker” farm. The barn has been added on to, a manure pit and a 20x70 silo was built around 1980, large cattle shed 1993. My dad replaced the old farmhouse in 2002, added a heated shop and a 16x65 silo 2014, and still milks 60 cows. It was a lot of work but we remodeled the original Quonset and grainery and are still being used today for young stock and feed storage.
