"In the Far Western part
Of south-east North Dakota
Lives a very fine animal
Called the iota..."

And in western Minnesota, not far from the land of the iota, is the Michelsen family farm, just about nine miles out of town. Out of Beardsley, Minnesota. Not a really big town, but not a really small town either. Just about the right size... population 224.
