[Wilford Woodruff] I spent the time planting Corn. I found my farm on my return home looked as though it had not been visited by Grasshoppers but when I left there were so many of them on the farm it looked as though I should not save an Acre of Grain. It was a Miricle to see How well Crops looked.

Questions for the reader to ponder:
ReplyDeleteIs this farm still functioning today? How many acres and where is its location? Is this farm still in the Woodruff family today? or has it been rezoned? and when was it rezoned?
