I have always dreamed, since I was very young, of owning my own farm. When the farm next door to my parents came up for sale, I wanted to do everything I could to buy it. Thanks to my loan officers and the Iowa Finance Authority’s Beginning Farmer program, I was finally able to make that dream a reality. It is a farm I am very proud of and will take great pride in for the rest of my life.
