From the time she was very young Sue Scantlin was confident she could do anything as well as boys. Growing up on a farm north of Humboldt, she always pitched in “to help Daddy,” Chet Moore.

Before she was old enough to go to school Sue was driving a tractor, raking meadow grass into windrows, to cure and then be baled. She also was proficient in cultivating row crops, a task that required close attention.

In 1955, at age 9, she marched into the Piqua bank “to ask Mr. Wille for a loan to buy my first dairy cow.” Her request was approved. By the time she graduated from Humboldt High in 1964 she had 27 registered Holsteins and Guernseys, also her 4-H focus.
