Century Farm

There's another farm not far from here that was her lineage's farm.

But she is terribly excited, the fact that we're doing this, that you have to do a little bit of work and you have to do a little bit of... research in order to to even have the right paperwork to prove that you are a century farm um i actually had made a sign i knew i wasn't eligible yet for a century farm i was estimating i didn't have the paperwork yet but i made a sign says uh the swanberg family farm established 1926 because that was my my guesstimate at that time and i've had that uh over at we put a different driveway in when we built our new house.

So where the barn driveway is located now, it's been there since we took over the farm in 2020.

And mom is terribly excited.

Oh, well, I guess not.

There isn't something that's that specifically stands out.

I know I, I, I am good friends with other families in the area, the longstanding farming families, some of them still farming at a, at a scale that I can't imagine, that are already century farms.

And it's been fun to have that conversation.

Stories of rich heritage and family tradition bring us to Dodge County's Leb Farm.

It's a century farm.

Here to tell us the story of the farm is Bob and Mary Leb and Bob's sister, Nancy Koenings.

And we've been there about almost

40 years.

Everybody says you could just design all this stuff super quick, da, da, da, da.

So I told it what to make, and it kept spelling the s- town's name wrong, 'cause it says C- Originally I was going Stimen Century Farm, Argyle, Missouri, established 1908.

Well, and I typed it out, like I wasn't talking to chat, and it kept spelling Argyle wrong.

It kept, like, adding extra Hs, and there's no H in that word, or extra Ls.
