photo of Jim and Jeanne Flanders with their children and grandchildren was
taken October 12, 2009 in the harvested soybean field west of their
farmstead. Jim and Jeanne’s 50th anniversary was April 4, 2009.
Farm Description: Jim has been involved with farming in White River
Township, Hamilton County, Indiana, his entire life, beginning with his
father, Ray, and brothers Harold and Bob. By
1993 Harold and Bob were into their retirement years, and our son, Jim,
Jr., had graduated from Purdue University. At that time Jim, Sr., Jeanne,
and Jim, Jr., incorporated the operation into Flanders A-Maizing Grain,
Inc. We are a small operation that concentrates on the details of growing
specialty crops: waxy corn and seed soybeans.
