Verle is 76

'All In The Family'

Tommy Horton

Rich Family History

Verle is 76. He and his wife began the business with only 75 acres. His son Dennis, 56, and wife Margaret joined the operation in 1976. And, not surprisingly, Dennis's son Matt, 31, and wife Kim joined in 2001.

"So far, we've been able to work together as a family on this farm," says Dennis. "This situation really works for us. Everybody has a different job. What makes it even better is that our families live close to each other here in the valley."

Dennis admits that he, Verle and Matt don't always agree on important farm management decisions. But they find a way to talk it over and then "we usually come to a consensus on how we should handle a certain project."
