Farmer Paid Off 240 Acre Farm On Modest Prices
A Marion county farmer recalled buying his 240 acre tract at thirty five dollars an acre with heavy debt for the big portion of the price. He fed hogs earning three sixty five per hundredweight, corn at twenty five cents a bushel, eggs at ten cents a dozen and paid twenty dollars a month for a hired hand. He met interest and taxes, lived frugally, reduced debt yearly, and after ten years owned the farm debt free, not chasing status but paying for the land. Other Marion county farmers follow a similar record and succeed.
