The name Carmen-Glenn Farms comes from the first names of our fathers; Carmen Sergi and Glenn Morton.  The Sergi family raised cattle and fruit crop in a small town in southern Italy.  After migrating to the United States and Australia in the early 1920’s, many family members continued their legacy of farming.  The Morton family were Black Angus breeders, large crop farmers and owned the Morton Seed Company in West Central Illinois.  Their Black Angus herds of several hundred cattle grazed on the lush pasture and fields located in the Mississippi River Basin, well-known for its rich black soil.
