Lori Mesik Hamilton's great grandparents, immigrants of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, moved from Colorado to Ashland County after her great-grandmother was struck with tuberculosis. They thought the crisp air would do her good. Lori says crisp was an understatement -- when she was farming as a girl on the Century Farm, she remembers using a crowbar to pick the ice off the barn door to milk cows. This is just one memory she has of her family's farm in Moquah, a dairy farm until 1999. Today, her younger brother farms beef and crops on the 500 acres. This Century Farm story is brought to you by Compeer Financial.
