Farming is a good way of life, but a hard way to make a living
Up before the sun, making sure he knows what everyone else is going to do and what he’s going to do for the day is how Marty Turner starts his day. Running a farm is a good way of life, but a hard way to make a living.
His family has been farming for many years. It started with his great grandfather. Then later his grandfather moved to Beardstown in the late 1950’s. His father helped his father farm the land along with taking care of cattle. Marty followed in the family business. And that’s what it is now, a business Marty says. Many changes in farming have occurred in the last few decades to make farming more modern and business-like.
