This farm was where my Grandfather farmed and then my Father and then me. I sold it to my neighbor's in 1996. I still have a lot of fond memories of this place and still go there once in awhile just to remember those times!!!

My Grandfather John Wibben started farming this Scully Lease a short while after he and my Grandmother Maggie came to America in 1904. After he retired to Hartsburg my Father Reike and Virginia Wibben started to farm here and they retired in 1977 and moved to Emden Ill. I took over then and farmed it until 1996 when I sold it to my neighbor's Larry and Nancy Aper. Their son Dirk and his wife Ashley and their family live there now. There are a lot of good memories there that I will keep with me forever. I still drive by once in awhile and even stop in once in a while also. We all had a lot of good times on that farm!!!!!
