Gene and DeeDee Hart & Family Gene’s parents, Mylan & Elaine started milking cows on the home farm in 1944. Gene and DeeDee married in 1985 and have farmed together ever since. The Hart family farms 300 acres plus rented acres with the assistance of Gene’s Dad, Mylan. On the farm, they raise corn, soybeans, oats, and alfalfa. Gene and DeeDee have two farms: Gene and DeeDee live on one and Gene’s father on the other. The Hart family is very active at the county fair.
