Floyd Renner met his future wife, Carrie, when his father was harvesting wheat on Carrie’s place.

Floyd left a dairy farm when he went on his honeymoon but returned to a cattle ranch when his father decided to get out of the dairy business. The couple has three children; Maci age 11, Marshall age 8 and Macelynn who is a little over a year old.
Deeres and Donkeys
Jerry Pegelow grew up in the farming country of northern Illinois. “We, my son and I, were housed out of farming,” is the way he put it. Coming from a strong background in farming livestock and cash grains, Jerry Pegelow has seen a lot of changes. The family farm consisted of over 1,000 acres in far northeast Illinois. Much of the land was being swallowed up by urban sprawl and corporate expansion. “Where we grew corn and soy beans they now grow concrete and black top. Chicago and Milwaukee will run into each other soon,” Jerry said.
