TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Aug.- 20, 1959) The success enjoyed by two former McHenry men has been told in a recent publication of the Iowa Farm and Home Reg­ ister. It concerns Andy and Dave Ramaeker of Humbolt, Iowa, who farm 600 acres in Humbolt county and have in­ vested $10,000 in new silos and an automatic feeding sys­ tem for beef cattle. The two men, natives of Nebraska, left there in 1937 after nine crop failures in a row. They' 'hopped a freight" to Illinois and in this area started work at the J.C. Jepsen and Leo King farms. Now the two men and their fam­ ilies reside in Iowa and oper­ ate as Ramaeker Brothers, working together without hired help.
