Ron and Dorothy Curtis have been actively involved in production agriculture for over forty years with combined acreages in west and east central Illinois. Ron is the fourth generation of his family farm and Dorothy is the third generation of hers. Expansion into real estate occurred in 1993, with the development of a real estate and appraisal business in Macomb by Ron and Dorothy as Broker Owners. In December 2012, after 22 years, they retired from that business to concentrate on actively overseeing their personal real estate and business investments. Along with their son, Grant and his wife Lindsey, Curtis Family Farms, LLC now have the fifth and fourth generations participating for the two combined locations. With the birth of Kane Stuart Curtis on November 14th, 2012, the possibility of the involvement of the sixth and fifth generation participation is a future possibility.

The farming operation consists of producing row crops of corn and soybeans. Grant and Lindsey expanded the operation with a trucking business for hauling of farm grain, dry fertilizer, highway construction materials, and equipment.

Curtis Storage was started in 2002 at the east edge of LaHarpe, Illinois. It now offers forty units of five sizes with storage units for month to month or longer storage.
