(Six miles north of Utica, Nebraska) â To find a farm filled with kids, livestock, pets, gardens and chickens (lots of chickens, but more on them later) one need search no further than the Payne place located straight north of Utica.
To say Nate and Chris Payne have a slew of irons in the fire, beginning with six kids ages 5-16, does not properly tell the story of this clan.
Farm wife deluxe Chris, the domestic engineer and guru of her brood, is the ramrod of a crew that begins with preschooler Mara, 5, and ends with son Sam, 16, a junior at Centennial High School in nearby Utica. In between are daughters Ava, 7, Leah, 9, Sarah, 12, and Cora, 14.
