Description
Otto Pieper was a German immigrant to Minnesota in 1890, where he worked for awhile in Steel County, Minnesota, as a hired man on a farm. In 1898, he married and moved to Clara City, Minnesota (Chippewa County) where he started to farm. He purchased a 120-acre farm.
In this interview, he discusses farm life and changes on the farm from 1898 to the 1940s when he retired. References were made to the Farmers' Alliance, Non-Partisan League and Farm Holiday. He was active in the organization of the Farmers' Co-op Elevator and Farmers' Co-op telephone company in Clara City.
