Through the years, they strived to produce the best corn and bean crops and can’t forget the hay crop to get enough small square bales to fill the hay mow. Over the years they’ve had a cow/calf operation, which was his favorite, feedlot finishing cattle they raised and purchased, sheep, swine, and Belgian horses.
