Hi Jim,
What crops did your family grow on the property throughout the years? Do you have a memory from the house you would like to share?

When dad farmed it the crops were corn, soybeans (a new crop at the time) and oats and alfalfa. this was a dairy farm at the time. Dad also did custom corn picking and combining and hay baling. Special memories are growing up on a livestock farm where there was always wok to do and it was a simpler time
