L&G Farms:Hands-on operators continue the family legacy.

摘要

Ginger and Sharion Croom spent a portion of their childhood growing up in a small white farmhouse that stands about 100 feet from the shop at L&G Farms in Southeast Missouri. After the sisters married, their husbands - Harland Gilmer and Lonnie Lawson- formed a partnership when the girls' uncle retired in 1967.The men farmed the family land as well as some other property until 2005 when Harland passed away. After that, Lonnie kept the operation going by himself for three more years before retiring in the fall of 2008. In 2009, two cousins, Brad Gilmer and Lance Lawson, formed their own partnership - L&G Farms - and continue to farm together today.
