OUR PHILOSOPHY There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn.

Every year, he won the award for the best grown corn.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.

“Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, crosspollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”

So is with our lives... Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all. ~ Author Unknown ~

Call it power of collectivity.

Call it a principle of success.

Call it a law of life.

The fact is, none of us truly wins, until we all win!

One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.

~ Proverbs 11:24-25 ~

CORRECTION: On page 8 of last month's issue we stated that adult tickets for the Oktoberfest in Menno are $20, they are actually $25. We apologize for any inconvenience.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE September 2019 With a busy summer filled with fairs and community events, Mindy and I have been able to meet literally hundreds of readers.

It is always great to visit directly with our readers!

It amazes me how sometimes the smallest detail from a story is what people remember most and find of interest. Those details can initiate the most wonderful conversations that lead into our readers/ friends telling us their own story! People often ask how we get so many great stories in the magazines. Our answer is simple: readers like you are always submitting recommendations.

If you have an idea, please do not hesitate to contact us. If we don't get right back to you, please know it is not because we are not interested; we will get back to you as soon as we can.

AGE Media publishes six different magazines every month, including our recently launched publications for Sioux and Lyon Counties in Northwest Iowa. We plan to launch two new magazines for Plymouth and Woodbury Counties in Iowa in Q4 of '19.

We receive many requests from people who would like to be added to our mailing list. Those currently not receiving the magazine can do so in a couple of different ways:

• We offer an annual subscription option of $50/year for 12 issues.

• Secondly, starting with this issue, we create a free digital version of the publications each month. If you have a smart phone, you can text your county name to 72727. (For example: For Turner County, text TURNER to 72727.) You will be added to a list to receive a text each month with a link to the online version of the publication and be among the first to read each issue.

We will continue to provide our complementary hard copy magazines to the active farmers, but the text option will get the publication to more people at no cost.

Keep the story ideas and suggestions coming and feel free to share the Text Messaging deliver option!

TURNER COUNTY FAMILY

THE WALTNERS

There are certain unique landmarks that catch your eye as one drives the backroads of South Dakota. Whether it’s a well-kept old barn or unique silo or another interesting piece of folk art on the side of the road, these are the landmarks that make the county oil roads more enjoyable to travel. On the “Marion Oil” near Hurley, there is a field that is lined with old elevators on the north and south fence lines that is tough to miss. With 100+ elevators positioned in a parade like formation it begs the question, how did they all get there? The answer is very simple, Kevin Waltner put them there. The reason Kevin put them there is just as simple; he likes old elevators, nothing more to explain than that.

“I don’t really have a favorite elevator. I’m always looking for odd ones. They are getting harder to find. I’ll quit collecting when I can no longer go to auctions.” Brands in the collection include: Stan

Kevin and his wife Amy live 1/2 mile west of the Marion Oil on a farm that has been in the Walther family for 130 years. Kevin grew up in the house they now live in and perhaps this strong connection to the past or his love for the agriculture community is why the elevators have lined up like they have. Or, its just because Kevin enjoys the hunt to acquire more and the people he meets along the way.

This interest in old iron led him to start attending auctions. “I went to an auction and didn’t want to see an elevator go for scrap so I bought it,” explains Kevin. “One day, I moved 17 elevators to the pasture with the goal of seeing how many it would take to make a mile. It took 125.”

enjoys harvesting south of Highway 18, because the ground is higher and you can look out the combine and enjoy the colors of the trees.”

Kevin manages the day-to-day operation and Amy helps with field work. She says that she will never plant, however, she is the main combine operator.

Hoist, Kewanee, John Deere, Kelly Ryan, Valley, Crop King, and more. For the most part the collection takes care of itself and requires minimal maintenance and upkeep.

“Over the years, only two have been blown down by the wind,” chuckles Kevin.

Kevin and his wife, Amy, who is originally from North Dakota by way of Freeman Junior College’s Nursing Program, raised their daughter, Libby, on their farm.

She is now married to Dalton Miller. The family enjoys hosting “Waltner Christmas” wh e n eve r yo n e g ath e r s at th e farm. Amy explains, “We’re so glad our nephew, niece and their families still want to visit though L to R: Chuck, John and Jeff Murtha their mom and grandparents aren’t REPAIR and SERVICE here anymore.”

Other than Christmas, one of the more exciting times of the year is harvest and their family traditions that come along with that time of year. Kevin explains, “Amy especially

Kevin followed in his father’s footsteps when he retired from farming and just like his father and grandfather, he enjoys using and tinkering with old equipment. Holding onto the family’s farm equipment is important to Kevin as he jokes, “When a piece of equipment comes on the farm, we keep it… for a long, long time.” In 1928, Kevin’s Grandpa Ben (Waltner) purchased a new International 1020 tractor with a two-bottom plow for $895. He traded that in for a Farmall F20 in 1939.

Kevin says the 1020 was always in the community, owned by a local collector. Then in 2005, Kevin bought it back for $900.

The plow was not traded and has always been on the farm.

The 1020 was the only tractor that was ever traded but is now back on the family farm as well. His antique equipment does have a degree of value, but to Kevin, the collection is priceless.

So the next time you travel on the Marion Oil near Hurley you’ll know who is behind the collection of elevators lined up from end to end of the fence line, and you’ll know a little history of why they are there as well.

KEEPING LOCAL HISTORY ALIVE

4-H:

A FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE History Recap Source: iGrow.org

SOUTH DAKOTA 4-H HISTORY The 4-H program grew out of the need to help young people and their families receive better agricultural education. The Morrill Act of 1862 established the land grant college system, which lead to South Dakota State College in 1881. Land grant universities looked for ways to share research with the public and found youth to be an ideal audience. Through Tomato Clubs and Corn Clubs, youth were able to participate in hands-on activities as a way to learn about agriculture.

These clubs, referred to as 4-H clubs by 1912, led to agriculture and home management clubs for youth across America. In South Dakota, Minnehaha County resident William Mair organized the earliest South Dakota Boys Club, with the first meeting happening in 1906 or 1907.

The Smith-Lever Act in 1914 created the Cooperative Extension System, tasking the land-grant universities in each state to get the university to the people. By 1924, the name “4-H” and the clover were officially adopted. Over time, 4-H has evolved to include both urban and rural youth and has expanded beyond agriculture.

Today, 4-H in South Dakota teaches life skills and leadership to youth in the four program priorities of Agriculture, Science, Health and Wellness and Leadership.

CAPTURING THE 4-H CULTURE The Elsie Carper Collection on Extension Service, Home Economics, and 10

The Farming Families Magazine | www.agemedia.pub | September 2019

4-H spans almost nine decades from 1908 through 1994. Elsie Carper compiled and preserved the history of home demonstration and 4-H during her four decades as an administrative assistant for the national 4-H program and nearly two decades as an historian during her retirement. Carper saved various items given to her by Extension specialists and program leaders and donated the materials to the National Agricultural Library. The collection includes materials pertaining to the work of three important people in the history of the Extension Service, specifically Seaman Knapp, Oscar Herman Benson, and Gertrude Warren.

The collection spans 8.75 linear feet and occupies 14 archival boxes. Materials are in good condition. There are no restrictions on use of the collection. In 2003, Jan Scholl, 4-H Curriculum Specialist, The Pennsylvania State University, and Kate Hayes, Technical Information Specialist, National Agricultural Library, initiated processing of the collection. Barbara Stommel, Special Collections Librarian, National Agricultural Library, completed the processing in 2005. Additional materials contributed by Jan Scholl, including a history of the National Association of Extension Home Economists through 1975 and 4-H Club song records, were added to the collection in June 2006.

THE FUTURE OF 4-H: GROWING TRUE LEADERS The primary program areas of 4-H are STEM and Agriculture, Healthy Living, and Civic Engagement. Our Ag educators are making a difference by spearheading these programs.

As students join the organization, it is critical that adults continue to encourage involvement in activities that provide hands-on experiences that help them build confidence and grow skills.

Sarah VanDerVliet, Ag Educator and FFA Advisor at TriValley School, at the Sioux Empire Fair (August 1999) with her cow, Manilow, who was rewarded the Reserve Champion Dairy Cow trophy

LOCALLY CARRYING ON THE TRADITION 4-H is not only an organization—it is a tradition: a culture that families have embraced for many years. Activities bring families together to teach youth about caring for animals, leading healthy lifestyles, and to be actively involved in the community, and much more.

Former 4-H member Sarah VanDerVliet, Ag Educator and FFA advisor at her alma mater high school, Tri-Valley, carries on her passion for the organization to students and her children.

This is also where tradition comes in; it plays a key role in why families lead their children to get involved in 4-H. Former 4-H students—those from urban areas as well as rural areas— can testify to the benefits of 4-H and how it helped prepare them for their careers.

4-H gave them opportunities to grow, to travel, be involved in the community, to speak in public—activities that helped prepare them for the future.

They learned by doing—learning, living and serving through 4-H. For more information about the 4-H chapter in your area, visit iGrow.org or visit facebook.com/SDState4H.

After a week-long commitment to 4-H activities at the Sioux Empire Fair—from not only a leadership role as an educator but also from the perspective of a proud parent—she was reminded of what makes 4-H so great.

“My favorite part of 4-H has always been family time. It is one organization that can get the whole family working together to achieve one goal.” Sarah’s parents, Kris and Mark Anderson, continued the tradition of doing projects with the kids this year. They tie dyed shoes, shirts, a car holder, drop cord, sewed a bag, sewed a mermaid, and painted a jewelry box.

Sarah’s mother-in-law, Lois VanDerVliet, continued her tradition of baking cookies and breads. “A big part of 4-H is tradition,” adds Sarah.

MERCHANTS STATE BANK For 120 years, Merchants State Bank has been serving customers in Turner and Hutchinson counties. The bank has locations in Freeman, Viborg, Hurley and Irene. Their original and main office is located in Freeman.

On September 24-25, Merchants State Bank will be hosting an Open House at their new bank location in Viborg. Merchants has been operating in a small space in the Jones Food Center in Viborg for 20 years, but now with the new building, they’ll be able to offer a wider range of services including the addition of a drive-thru, ATM, and safe deposit boxes.

“This is a great move for our customers. Previously folks would have to go to other communities for something as simple as to access an ATM. Now with the new drive-thru and other services we can offer, this is a much easier banking experience for them,” explains Troy Lee, AVP and Branch Manager.

“We also now offer safe deposit boxes for our customers who may need that service.”

When customers come to see the new location at 201 N Main St, they will recognize many familiar faces as the staff will be the same. The biggest difference will be space and more room inside the bank. There is more room around the teller

counters and reception area along with larger offices for loan officers. Within the new location, there is also board room which can be used by the public for community meetings and small gatherings. Customers can contact banking staff to inquire about utilizing the space.

With this location, Merchants State Bank will continue to provide a full-service banking experience in a small-town setting. Emily Hofer, CFO, shares a similar perspective to Troy Lee as she explains, “Opening this new location in Viborg is long-overdue.

A few weeks ago, the Humboldt Threshing Association hosted the 29th Annual Old-Fashioned Threshing Show.

It was held August 8-14, 2019. Thursday evening kicked-off the events with a 25-mile scenic tractor drive and pit stop at Ron and Jackie Heemstra's barn near Wall Lake. Friday night was the Tractor Pull, which was unfortunately cut short due to rain. Then, the main show was held on Saturday and Sunday and featured Oliver tractors.

Main events included daily parades, demonstrations, wagon rides, flea market, plowing and great food under the big tent. There was also a Pork Chop supper and live music by Surfin' Safari on Saturday night.

Next year, will be the 30th Anniversary of the Threshing Show so be sure to save the date. August 6th-9th, 2020 Humboldt, SD (3 miles South on Hwy 19) Featuring Minneapolis-Moline

HUTCHINSON COUNTY FAMILY

THE KEPPLINGERS

Left to right: Kreg, Kerry, and Kyle Kepplinger 20

The Farming Families Magazine | www.agemedia.pub | September 2019

The Kepplinger farm on Highway 18 west of Olivet has raised sheep in Hutchinson County for many years. Kerry Kepplinger’s father and grandfather were in the sheep business as long as he can remember.

Now, Kerry’s sons, Kyle and Kreg, mark the 4th generation of Kepplingers in the family business.

They now do much more than raise sheep—they produce a well-known product: Kepp’s Sheep Chislic. “Our family has been raising sheep when not many others were doing it. We know this business very well and the quality of our product shows it,” explains Kerry.

In the immediate areas of Turner and Hutchinson County, almost everyone is familiar with chislic and most know the difference between lamb and mutton chislic.

However, this is not the case all over the state; it wasn’t until 2018 when chislic was named the “Official Nosh” of the state of South Dakota. During that legislative session, the popular region snack became better known statewide and beyond.

This important milestone happened due to more than just luck. Kerry Kepplinger and others active in the chislic industry lobbied for legislators to pass this in Pierre, because they saw an opportunity to increase exposure for the product and more importantly, to open new markets for the unique South Dakota dish. “This was great for the chislic industry, and we feel other states will follow suit and name a nosh for their states as well,” says Kerry.

The timing on the announcement was great because it coincided with plans that Kerry and his family had for expanding their operation to produce more product and distribute to a larger footprint. Since 2008, Kepp’s Sheep Chislic has been in area grocery stores and the product has been served in area bars and restaurants.

Now that Kerry’s sons are older and able to assume a bigger role in the family business, the Kepplingers have been constructing a multi-purpose building on their

THE ANDERSONS – ROOTED IN FAITH Photos by AllScapes Photography

The Farming Families Magazine | www.agemedia.pub | September 2019

Matt and Kristi Anderson live two miles west of Hartford on land Matt’s Grandpa Elwayne Berens farmed years ago. Kristi explains, “On our first date, Matt shared with me that his Grandpa Elwayne and mom have worked hard to teach him how to be a great steward of the land, and that is important to him. He works so hard to take great care of the land we farm, and that overflows into the wonderful ways he leads our family.”

The Andersons are a family of strong faith and trust God’s guidance and timing. “We try to depend on God and lean on our faith in all seasons,” shares Kristi.

“That is what carries us through the good and tough seasons, and it is something we are teaching our daughters, Kendall (5) and Lucy (3).”

When Matt, originally from Hartford, S.D., was in middle school, he moved to Chancellor with his mother, Peggy, when she remarried. He grew up on his stepfather, Craig Hoogestraat’s, large hog farm and attended Lennox Middle and High Schools. After graduating, he earned his Automotive Technology Degree from Southeast Technical Institute then moved back to the Anderson family farm near Hartford in 2003. In addition to working full time, he independently began his journey of getting his small operation up and running.

After Matt and Kristi, a Colton, S.D. native, married in December 2009, the couple continued to grow their farm, as they slowly began to farm more of the Anderson family’s acres.

During the couple’s first year of marriage, they lived in the old farmhouse on the Anderson property. The house was three different parts pieced together that sat on an old boulder rock foundation. “Our home was full of many unwanted guests,” says Kristi. “I remember waking up one morning to a mouse in a chip bag on the counter. I was horrified as I nudged Matt awake. He snuck out to the kitchen and smashed it right in the bag!”

“A few months later,” she continues, “I walked in the house after work, and the house smelled like death.

I called my best friend and begged her to come and find the dead animal along with promising to pay her

$20 on arrival. She laughingly declined the offer, and I was on my own!”

Kristi recounts another incident—this time involving a snake slithering up the south side of the house. “I tried to kick it down, but it went in a hole. That night, I was washing dishes, and Matt was sitting at his desk when he very calmly said, ‘Kristi, get me a stick.’

Yep! That snake was now in my living room! Our lawn was home to many, many snakes. I made it my goal to thin out the snake population. I ran over 32 snakes with the lawn mower that summer!”

The challenge of dealing with many pests in their home tested their patience, for sure.

However, soon after, they began planning their new house and moved in the next year.

2017 was a big year for the Andersons. They were able to purchase 80 acres from Matt’s dad which was a great addition to the operation. However, they knew it would require more time. The family felt the need to make a major change. After

teaching elementary school for ten years in the Garretson School District, Kristi, who graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with a Degree in Elementary Education, did not renew her contract.

“There were many variables that played into us making that decision,” says Kristi. “It was so hard, but Matt and I knew it was the right decision for our family.” Kristi spent the next year taking care of the girls and substitute teaching when she could in the school districts around Hartford. “I also started taking on more responsibilities regarding paperwork for the farm to help Matt.”

Kristi was grateful to be able to stay at home with the girls, but she also felt a tug on her heart to teach. “I spent time specifically praying to God to lead me into the place He wanted me to go,” shares Kristi. “About nine months of diligently praying, I felt God answered that prayer by telling me to start a preschool in Colton.” In a matter of days, she had worked out all the details and students had already enrolled. “I love it, and this is the second year for Little

Dr. Christopher Lane

Blossom’s Preschool in Colton.

We meet twice a week in the mornings, and it keeps me in the world of education, which is what I’m passionate about!”

In the future, she would like to start a preschool in Hartford.

Matt performs most of the jobs on the farm, and Kristi says she’s the “runner”. “I’m in charge of helping get equipment to each field for the task at hand, bringing him meals and being the primary caretaker of the girls during each season. Last year, the harvest season was dragging on and on. I decided the only way to help more was to learn how to drive our combine, so he could keep the grain moving to the elevators. I woke up the day of my birthday and said, ‘It can’t be that hard!’ After a brief lesson and a few rounds, I had it down and actually enjoyed it!”

Kendall and Lucy love riding along in the tractors and combine with their dad. “They are great at singing along to the radio and eating all the snacks we have packed!” shares Matt. “It’s so great for them to experience the process

of farming—from preparing the dirt, to planting the seeds.

We often drive around the area to look at how the crops are growing, so they see that progress too.”

The girls also enjoy seeing the wild animals that live among the fields. Kristi says harvest is especially fun for them, because they can see in bulk what the family has accomplished over the years. However, when the seasons get long, they may not see their dad as much and it can be difficult for them to understand. “I remind them that is part of living on a farm.

Sometimes their dad has to put in long days to get as much done as he can,” shares Kristi.

Matt says time management can be of the biggest challenges in running a farm.

“I work full time in Sioux Falls for Herc-U-Lift. It is very hard to balance a full-time job, farming and still have time to give my family. Since I started farming all on my own, it can be challenging because there isn’t always someone around to help me when we need it.

Besides Kristi and her dad, Rick Van Heerde, I really have to use

my time wisely in order to get everything done.”

Kristi says Matt is in his element when he’s farming. “He has endless energy (as long as I bring him food) and works so hard to meet his goals for each piece of land we farm,” she adds. “Every season, he comments on how being out in the field is where he feels the presence of God closest in his life. For him, it’s about seeing and reflecting on God’s beauty and knowing the importance of what our family has been given.”

Kristi and Matt will celebrate their 11th Anniversary this December.

THE HILLS Photos provided by Jared Hill

There are not many South Dakota family farms that can trace their history back to the 1860s, but the Hills family just northeast of Canton is one of them.

The Farming Families Magazine | www.agemedia.pub | September 2019

Richard Hill and his son Jared farm together on land that dates back to Richard’s greatgreat uncle and Norwegian immigrant, Simen Schiager. In 1868, Simen rode into Lincoln County with 80 others in a caravan of settlers that doubled the population of those already living in the county at the time. He acquired his first 160 acres of land for $14 and built a sod house on the north end of the property shortly thereafter. Simen lived in the Canton area until he passed away in 1932 at the age of 97.

In 1908, a barn was built on the farm, and the following year, a larger home was constructed as well. This home is where Richard’s father, Manfred, was born and is also where Richard and his wife, Linda, currently live and where they raised their three children: Nathan, Jared and Becky.

The Hills have been pillars in the Canton community for years, and Manfred was well-known and loved by many prior to his passing on July 4th, 2018.

“Grandpa had a way about him. He loved the Canton community, and he loved the farm he built,” explains Jared.

Manfred was married to his wife, Leona, for 72 years until her passing in October of 2017.

The Hill farming operation today is run by Jared and Richard, but Manfred’s impact is well entrenched in how things are done. Manfred never had any formal training as a mechanic or welder, but he was always tinkering and building things to make them work based upon the needs of the farm. “Grandpa was a dreamer, and he’d come up with ideas to build things with

“Grandpa was well-known for making the quote, ‘Work hard and the rest will come easy’, however, I often wonder when

the ‘easy’ part is going to start happening.”

Richard and Jared mark the 5th and 6th generations to farm the ground Simen Schiager started with many years ago.

Maintaining the history and family legacy is important to

the Hill family. Richard and Linda have updated their 100+ year-old home, but it still has the feel of a family farmhouse.

Both Richard and Linda enjoy antiquing and collecting items to add to their home. One item of interest is a 100+ year old dining room table and chairs

which had belonged to the family many years ago.

One of the more interesting family anecdotes is that of how Richard was featured on the cover of a Sioux Falls area magazine titled The Sioux Falls Spectator in the early 1950s. Then, in the late 1970s, South Dakota artist, John Green, released a painting, The Little Fisherman, which became a quite popular print.

The magazine cover featured a fun photographic image of Richard, and the way Green brought the picture to life in paint is quite impressive. Green went on to paint another portrait called The Little Fishergirl as well.
