Born and raised in Ottumwa. Moved far, far away, but still drive there to work.
So, what made you move to Ottumwa?

You know that is funny. I was born and raised in WA. Kitsap county, then moved to Vancouver when I was 22, moved to Wyoming at 27 then later met a gal and moved to Iowa in 91. Been living in Chariton for almost the past 18yrs, which is only 44 miles away (originally moved to Story City for a couple months)

My bad. I need to read just a tad bit slower...a couple of missed words makes all the difference.

So you moved out of Ottumwa...WAY TO GO
I managed the moving away part, just cant seem to find a better job than Deere, so I keep crawling back. I keep telling the wife we need to find jobs in the NW, but its hard to leave family.

There's only one Deere plant in Ottumwa. Hay & Forage. Only two reason I keep going there. Work and my grandparents.
