Five years ago Michael Moore made a life-changing decision, and it turned out to be “the best decision I ever made.” Moore returned to the western Illinois farm he grew up on to raise crops and cattle with his parents, Ron and Deb Moore. In his youth, the now fourth generation on the family’s farm founded in 1913, raised cattle to show at the county fair and the Prime Beef Festival in Monmouth, walked beans, baled hay and all of the other chores that go along with keeping the operation going.
