Photo 29-NBA-25

Comments

This is our home farm. I lived here until I was 10 years old.

I grew up here as well. I lived here until I moved to Oregon in 1981.

I lived here from 1984 to 1994. It was my grandparents farm, Roland and Dorothy Hayes. My parents, Jeff and Donna Hayes (now Donna Belcher) rented/farmed this place when I was a young girl. This use to be referred as "the big farm." Fourleaf clovers use to be in abundance on the south facing side of the silos. My father use to have big firework shows on the property for Independence day when we would hold a large family picnic. The road (21st street Rice Lake, WI) remained dirt until recent years. If you were to drive by today you you wouldn't recognize the farm from this photo. After we moved to Chetek, WI my aunt and uncle John and Linda Hayes lived and farmed there.
