Welcome Leah! It's so cool that your family has had the farm for so long, and even cooler that you want to take it over. What shape is the house in? What type of farm is it? Have fun here!

Welcome Leah. Love that name. My family has a family farm in Iowa, also for over a hundred years, and it holds my sweetest memories. It is in northeast Iowa. What part of Iowa is yours?
Glad to see young folks carrying on the family land. Good for you!

Welcome, Leah.
Good luck on the farm end, what are you planning to grow? Has noone lived there for awhile? Where in Iowa are you? I was born there but that was a long time ago, Love and Light, Jenny in MI |
