G.P. Shafer married, the daughter of S.W. Seward and the two lived on the land until 1927. When Sam Shafer acquired the land he purchased an additional 320 acres and another 900 acres of grassland. In 1956 Sam leased the land to his son Stanley Shafer who had just returned from serving in the Korean War. Stanley Shafer and Carol Shafer now own and manage the land. Since they have operated the farm 1,280 acres have been added. The farm grows wheat, corn, hay and raises cattle.
