W H Palser Farms was originally known as "Palser Bros & Smith". George, Will and Edgar Palser came to western Nebraska around 1918 from North Loup, Nebraska. Edgar was the first to arrive and seeing the productive farmland urged his brothers to join him. Their brother-in law, Ross Smith joined them for several years. In 1931 they dissolved the partnership and continued on their own. Will and Grace Palser were parents to nine children, two daughters and seven sons. In 1968 Will and his sons Ivan, John and Vernon formed W H Palser Farms, Inc. As the years passed sixteen grandchildren were born and raised on this farm. The only surviving members of the original corporation are Norma Palser and Mary Helen Palser.  Steven, son of John and Norma Palser is the President of the corporation and manages the farm. Our principal crops are corn and wheat. Steven's wife Peggy and Nita McGreer, daughter of  Ivan & Mary Helen Palser have joined efforts to establish a guest house, The Corner House.
