Lorenz Lorenzen pointing out the difference in corn that had been fertilized with that that had not been fertilized. The Lorenzen farm was located at Highway 30 and 350th Avenue, which is about half way between DeWitt and Clinton. I doubt this photo was staged but note the steam engine train heading West on the Chicago & Northwestern tracks.

Stacking hay at the Lorenzen Farm.

No modern farm equiptment to stack the hay -
just horses and man power.

Basic early hay baler.

Baled hay stacked high with Lorenz Lorenzen perched on top along with farmhand, Ray Sanders and Frieda Lorenzen, Lorenz's daughter, in the truck.

Photos were scanned from a scrapbook of Frieda Lorenzen Hendricksen which was made available by her daughter, Judy Hendricksen Waldeck. Background photo is a late photo of Lorenz Lorenzen.
