Fort Recovery, Ohio -- Friday, February 16, 2018

Ray Grube, 9, who was on vacation from school, walks through the Huwer-Grube dairy farm, which includes the white barn at back, in western Ohio on Friday, Feb. 16, 2018. Grube said he'd like to work the farm when he's grown up but that he knows his family is struggling to get by.

With low milk prices and a flooded market, the Huwer-Grube farm, owned and operated by Charles and Karen Grube, is losing money. The land has been in the family for five generations, but the Grubes are overleveraged and unable to pay the bills necessary to stay in operation.
