Description

Lloyd and Joyce Ellis discussed the history of the Ellis family farm, purchased in 1891, and how it has been passed down through the generations. The original farm produced peaches and apples in addition to hay, but as time went on, the farm was eventually converted completely to wheat and oats. While Lloyd and Joyce both had careers off of the farm, they continued to be connected to the land.
