Betty Liese stands along County Road 149, north of Weir, overlooking a family farm with her husband and son. The property has been in her husband's family for over 100 years, and fresh wheat crop spouts from the ground of the multi-acre property
Her son recalls the fun he had on the farm when he was young. The wide spaces provide the perfect quiet needed to grow.
