Sharecropper Jumps From Tenant To Owner In 24 Hours
In Fairdealing Missouri a sharecropper named Sells rose from cotton sharecropping to landowner in a single day. With $200 down, he bought an 80 acre farm near Poplar Bluff and then a second 80 acre farm, aided by United Farm Agency founder Roscoe L. Chamberlain who funded the $10,000 lift. The move marked the 50,000th farm sale for United and a notable Christmas turnaround for Sells and his seven children.
