Our farm in Benton County was established in 1921 by my grandfather, Grover Bagby. Over the years, he raised hogs, chickens, cattle and apples. My parents, Bill and Bonnah Lyn raised broiler chickens, beef cattle and milked a few cows. Smoking hams and selling beef to the public was an ongoing part of the farming operation until the early 1960s. Our two sons are the fourth generation to continue beef farming. Selling Black Angus beef is another way to diversify and continue our farming heritage for the next generation.
