Big Farm Bought After Six Years of Work
A Rock Rapids bank story shows a German American farmer who started with nothing in 1908 and, by 1914, owned a 160 acre farm, stock, and machinery with loan support from First National Bank of Rock Rapids. He rented land, bought hogs and cattle, and steadily expanded to 420 acres, paying down debts and taking a mortgage on the new purchase. He owns cattle, horses, and substantial farm equipment, and plans ten years to pay the remaining balance with steady profits from crops and livestock.
