William F. Spivey, affectionately known as “Billy” or “Papa,” knew the struggles of life and the rewards of achievement through hard work on the family farm. At the age of 17, he managed the family farm providing financial support and care for his family and younger siblings. Billy’s hard work, knowledge and care of the land provided the roots for a growing and striving family farm. Along with Frankie, his son, they worked together to create a family farm to be proud of — and loved to see a growing crop in the field!
