99th Birthday Farm Veteran Still Cutting Oats
S H Pedersen, age 98, near Ruthven, Iowa, remains an active farmer. He and son Hans cut oats on their northeast Ruthven farm last week, riding the binder much as he did when young. Born in Copenhagen on September 2, 1857, he came to America in 1888, married a Danish-born woman, and raised six children in the Ruthven area. He still works daily spring through fall, tolerates aging sight and hearing, and credits long years of horse farming for his stamina.
