Batterman could cultivate only a part of his 120-acre farm last year, (1947) but the income from this initial effort nearly equaled the purchase price.
There were others on this new project who did as well as the Battermans in their first year of operations. Among these were World War II veterans. Leo E. White, and D. C. Atwood. But the Battermans' experiences are especially interesting. Motion pictures have been filmed around events less engaging than those woven into the lives of Henry and Martha.
Henry and Martha were born on neighboring farms in Germany. What might have become a childhood romance was interrupted when Martha Busing's parents came to America. Years later, after finishing trade school in 192o. Henry Batterman left for the United States in quest of freedom withheld from the German populace, even before Hitler's regime. When Henry's boat docked on the east coast, he went to Colorado. Martha's parents settled first in Kansas, moved on to Colorado, thence to Nebraska. Henry worked as common laborer, later as a machinist, but the lure of the land was deep in his heart.
"I saw how American farmers used machinery to plant, cultivate, and harvest their crops, and I loved machinery." Batterman said, "but more than anything else. I wanted to be a farmer and enjoy the freedom of persons close to the soil."
In 1934, Batterman quit his job as a machinist in Colorado, and became a laborer on an irrigation farm in Nebraska. There, in Nebraska, he renewed his friendship with Martha Busing. In time. Henry and Martha were married. Batterman then became a tenant farmer on a place near Scottsbluff. He worked hard and learned rapidly all of the intricacies of irrigation. Today. Henry and Martha and their children are enjoying the good life that comes to energetic irrigation farm families. "
