Farm directories can be a gold mine of information for the genealogist. The arrangement of this one differs from other publishers. Instead of an alphabetical listing by county it is listed in alphabetical order by township. The breeders' directory is a combination of both counties. The CD contains:
Farmers Directory - This contains the name of farmer, name of spouse and children, how many acres farmed, owns or rents the land and the year farmer moved to the county. (often this is the year the farmer was born.) If he is a tenant farm the name of the land owner will be listed. (could be the name of his in-laws or parents).

Breeders Directory - in order by type of livestock.
Business Directory - for each small town.
