Born on April 2, 1954 in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Curt is the son of Geraldine (Doyen) and the late Leo Clancy. He attended Pomeroy Community School, graduating in 1972 then attending Iowa State University’s Farm Operations program.    Following his education, Curt farmed near Pomeroy and served as a 4-H leader in Calhoun County.
On November 22, 1980 he was united in marriage to Julie Buelt at St. Augustine Church in Halbur.   In 1991, Curt and Julie relocated to Halbur and farmed the Buelt family Century Farm.

He always welcomed a game of cards, or Scrabble, and conversation.
