The farm was originally used as a horse and Shetland pony farm and later for raising wheat. The land had a water source and was basically clear enough to pasture horses. Bird Creek runs northeast to southwest through the farm and is spring-fed. The farm is located less than a mile from the town of Guthrie making it fairly easy for Mr. Scrutchfield to work in town and travel to and from the farm to care for his livestock. |
