I remember neighbors talking about it.  

The most interesting paragraph in that story to me was:

“The early 1980s farm crisis was so brutal that people today don’t realize how bad it truly was,” Nichols recalls. “We had 103,000 farmers in Minnesota and 33,000 faced foreclosure by the mid-80s. The whole atmosphere was ripe for con-men.”

Wow!  a third of Minnesota farmers faced bankruptcy?  Is this correct?



It wasn’t just MN, those were some rough times.
