Debbie Ledley's family bought a farm near the Delaware County Airport in 1968, when she was just 4 years old. The farm included a big, old barn. Her father boarded horses and was a grain farmer, Ledley said. 'So, there were gravity (grain) wagons in there. And then we would climb up the hay mow and swing from one side to the other right over the gravity wagon,' Ledley recalled. Now, with Ledley's parents in their 80s and no one to take over the farm, it was time for it to go, she said. A company purchased the land to build warehouses.
