Mountainous terrain, green pastures, and forests can all be found on the Blakey Farm. The picturesque site was the spot of several family gatherings for the many descendants of George and Josephine Blakey. But over the years, the farm lost its luster due to lack of maintenance as the Blakey children aged, moved or passed away, leaving no succession plan in place.
To ensure the farm would remain in the family and receive the necessary attention to restore it, Sampson and other Blakey descendants formed an LLC. With agritourism in mind, their vision is to build a working farm where tourists can learn about agriculture, agricultural enterprise and more.
Sampson stressed the importance of preserving the farm history and legacy as well as address the lack of knowledge transfer and support for minority farmers. For the latter, he hopes to provide training and resources as well as leverage partnerships.
Sampson hopes to eventually expand his reach beyond the Shenandoah Valley by creating agri-hoods and agri-hubs around the country that help small farmers grow their businesses through education and mentoring.
On the farm, a tattered barn with a rusted basketball hoop holds memories of a favorite pastime during his frequent visits to the farm growing up. Sampson looks to renovate the structure into a museum with historical information to honor the ancestors who worked the farm and served the nation in the U.S. Armed Forces. Farm tours, wine tastings and other agriculture-related activities are among the nearly ten business plans Sampson has for the family farm.
The visit to the Blakey Farm is one of many farm visits where USDA provides technical assistance to set new farmers on their path to prosperity. According to Martinez, NRCS provides these onsite assessments to help farmers understand how farm management impacts the soils, crops, forages, forests and wildlife habitat on their land. NRCS can also survey the farm to identify areas where conservation may benefit their operation. The collective results will determine which USDA programs (technical and financial) the farm is eligible for.
Under the elder Blakeys, the farm received assistance from USDA in the early 2000s through an NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), which provides support to farmers in implementing conservation practices, including rotation of crops, cover cropping, nutrient management, pest management, prescribed grazing, and forage harvest. More recently, the family has been exploring conservation and preservation options on the property with USDA and non-profit organizations.
Small businesses, including small farms, are supported by several USDA agencies and offices. The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) is dedicated to connecting small businesses to the numerous resources at USDA and across the Federal Government.
In the summer, Mike and his girls would grab one of the half-dozen or so balls lying around the driveway and play there. Both daughters played until they got to Greenfield Central and started doing other things. Marie, who got a late start on college after marrying a military man and moving around a bit, has settled in Indianapolis and is studying to teach English as a second language. Jo graduated from Butler and moved to Brooklyn, where she has a business doing web applications.
And then he tells me something else: His older girl, Marie? She just had a girl of her own, her first child, which means Mike Morrow just became a grandfather. In a few years, that little girl will be big enough to shoot a basketball. Grandpa will have the barn ready. In Indiana, the cycle of life continues.
While constructing their barn, the Fosters knew they wanted to include Purdue influences into the build and decor. Reusing and recycling Purdue items was a common theme throughout the barn. Pulling from Purdue resources, Todd would find used pallets, old Purdue athletic signs, memorabilia and extra turf from when the indoor facility was being redone. He let departments know that if they were not using these materials, he would gladly take them to incorporate into his barn.

The RAMM 18" indoor/outdoor basket fan is designed specifically for agricultural use. Unlike most fans, which are not meant for use in barns, the RAMM 18" basket fan has an enclosed motor with sealed ball bearings, so it can be used in wet locations! These fans are an excellent choice for wash bays and stables.
Important Note: Many fans sold in farm and home improvement stores are dangerous to use in barns. These include all box fans and most floor-type basket fans. Unless the fans have completely sealed motors, they will NOT be rated for agricultural use. Be sure to check the instruction manual before purchasing - as many will state on the front page "for residential use only". This is true for ceiling fans as well (ours are also agriculturally rated).
Electrical fires are a leading cause of preventable horse deaths. In 2007, 44 horses were killed in a barn fire caused by a relatively new box fan. There is a website dedicated to fire safety in barns - check out their stories on how the wrong fans can be a deadly cost-cutting measure! Don't become a statistic...
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device. This appliance has a 3-prong plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in an outlet only one way. If this does not fit the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to bypass this procedure
Install the fan onto a solid, vertical surface with the appropriate hardware (included) of 3 screws (2 are 10mm heads and 1 is 11mm head). through the large mounting hole in the bracket for permanent fan mounting.
WARNING: Unplug from the electrical supply source before cleaning. After servicing, any safety device (including grills and blades) must be reinstalled or remounted as previously installed.
