Bob Farmer opened a gun business, The Shooting Shop, in September at his residence. Because of a degenerative eye disease, Farmer lost his previous job and contacted the Iowa Department for the Blind, who guided him through steps of entrepreneurship.

There were many businesses in the article from small one person shops to a fertilizer coop that have been doing well despite the down economy.
