The farm at the beginning looking West July 1983
David was up in, or on, the peak of the barn when he took this picture. The farmer leasing the land had just put fertilizer down when we bought it. He asked if he could plant his corn. We said he could but he must cut it early, in the first week of September.
So he left the area where the house would be (dark spot/line in the middle of the field) and cut the corn as we'd requested.
He then loaned us the equipment to make a seed bed and plant pastures. As a result we've had excellent pastures with few weeds.
The barn in the picture belonged to the neighbor and was taken down just a couple years later.
