FARMING IN PIKE TOWNSHIP

MADISON COUNTY,  OHIO

On the banks of the Spring Fork in Pike Township, amidst some of the prettiest crops in the county, Roger and Lila Stewart farm some 2000 acres assisted by their son,  Danny, and grandson, Aaron Boerger.  Their daughter, Lynne Whatley, Aaron's mother, works off the farm as does their granddaughter, Amanda Boerger Willett.  Lila works on and off the family farm.  On the farm she is bookkeeper with the farm records  completely computerized and off the farm she is Fiscal Officer for Pike Township, Madison County.                                             

Roger, a native of Butler County, came north with his brother, Kenneth, when their children were young.  As their sons grew up and started to farm, the partnership amicably dissolved so that each brother had his own farm.  In 1979, Roger and Lila incorporated Spring Fork Farms, named for the adjacent creek, with Roger as manager.  Son Danny, who graduated from Fairbanks High School in 1973, became assistant manager of the new  corporation.
