1. No, I don't know the origin of it. It's a great photo taken in the "bowl" at great grandma's farm near Viroqua. He's planting corn here.
2.
I seem to have a very vague recollection that this photo was used in a
farm publication or in the Vernon County Broadcaster newspaper.
3. I also seem to remember another photo of the same situation but that was more of a close-up of dad on the planter. | 1. James B. Groves planting corn
