Farm Description: This farm dates back for 3 generations. My grandfather owned the farm, and then my dad took it over when he came back from WWII. My brother Dean and I have both grown up and worked on the farm our entire life and now we farm it together. The Steiger in the background is our favorite tractor. New isn't always the best. We are grain farmers only these days, and it made life a lot easier to no longer deal with cattle. We produce corn, sweet corn, soybeans and peas. We love it in Sleepy Eye, MN! It's close enough to the cities to still enjoy good entertainment or a ball game once in awhile and it still allows the best family life that you can only find in a small town.
