It didn’t hurt anybody.” In addition to Travis, who is the oldest, they have three other sons – Justin, Brett and Brady; and one daughter, Tara. All five of their children graduated from South Dakota State University. Terry said, “It paid off for our kids to go to SDSU. They all got good jobs. All the kids are doing well, which makes us very happy.” Travis is an engineer who worked in the Twin Cities before he and Stacy moved back to South Dakota when their first child was a newborn about 15 years ago. In 2011, he took a position as a systems engineer at Sioux Falls-based Raven Industries, a national leader in precision agriculture technology. He continues to work there fulltime as the OEM sales manager, overseeing the company’s OEM business as well as sales of OmniDrive, one of Raven’s autonomous products. Raven was recently acquired by CNH Industrial, a London-based corporation whose brands span several major equipment industries. In agriculture, CNH brands include Case IH, New Holland Agriculture and Steyr. “Travis luckily decided he wanted to farm and he brought us into the 21st century,” Deb said. “Terry is learning to live by text.
