In recent years, Farmton was again placed at a crossroads. Population growth and development of the land surrounding Farmton has resulted in the shutdown of nearby sawmills. Changes in the timber markets, both domestic and international, have eroded the economic viability of the independent logging crews who purchase and remove the timber. Many have gone out of business. Miami Corporation began to study new uses for the Farmton tract, as we have in the past.
In the 19th century, William Deering founded Deering Harvester, a farm implement company. By the turn of the 20th century, Deering Harvester was part of a multi-company merger that formed International Harvester.
In 1917, the descendents of William Deering formed a corporation to invest and steward the family’s assets. Although our company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the name Miami Corporation was chosen because of the Deering family’s love of the Miami, Florida area where they spent many winters throughout their lives. Miami Corporation has served as the family’s company ever since. It has continued the legacy of our founders through ongoing philanthropic endeavors and contributions to conservation efforts.
