It's the last day of the year 2006, and sadly the end of the West Farm. Within weeks of shooting these
photos, the Woodbury fire department will pay the absentee owner of West Farm for
the privilege of burning down the buildings of the West Farm. The cement silo will be
knocked down and carted away. According to the elderly
farmer, this was once the farm of "Tator" Elke.
