Grandma Doris has been selected one of four women who will be named Iowa Master Farm Homemakers next Friday in Des Moines. Grandpa Don was named a Master Farmer 50 years ago. Doug was named a Master Farmer about 25 years ago. So, it is appropriate that Grandma is named an Iowa Master Farm Homemaker since she was the woman behind the men.
Dee, Lynne and Dian will accompany her next Thursday to Des Moines for a dinner in the evening and the awards luncheon on Friday. We will report after Friday.
Two weeks ago the land east of the road was named a Century Farm as it has been in the family over 100 years. This land was originally owned by John August who had 4 children to whom he gave each 100 acres. The land was given to the daughter who married Christian Johnson. Then Elmer and Edith Johnson and then Don and Doris Johnson. Doug and Lynne's homestead was named a Century Farm in 1988.
