While another 30 acres is being farmed by and organic farmer in Clyde. The rest is rented out. The family stopped actively farming it in the late 50s and moved off the farm. Today Pat manages the CRP land and upkeep of the property and refurbishing of the original barn that's still. He hopes that one of his three kids continues the work. His youngest son has been showing some interest in partaking in the work. Back in the 40's their family actually harvested Hemp and creeps up once in a while.
