Thank You

The family of Hayden Hunter would like to thank everyone for the hugs, prayers, memorials, well wishes and kind words, and those who brought food and paper products to help us get through this tragic time. Also, with snow removal at our home and at the Knotty Pine.

The many lives Hayden touched in his short time, brought many stories that were shared to help ease our pain.

Because of the cell phone era and many friends, cards and letters, we may have not had all the addresses to send “Thank Yous” to everyone, but please know that we appreciated all the prayers, kind words and memorials.

Thank you to Mike and Jackie Skroch and their team with helping us with all the preparations. Pastor Gunderson & Pastor Brokmeier for prayers and comfort, Elaine VanDyke, our organist and the Trinity & Immanuel Ladies for the delicious meal after the funeral.

Thank you for the Pallbearers and the goose and duck callers to send Hayden off to his hunting fields in Heaven! Also, thanks to his classmates who were Honorary Pallbearers! We appreciated you all in our caring community.

Thank you from our hearts, Randy, Kris & Riley Hunter

THE AUCTION METHOD SETS THE MARKET WITH RECORD RESULTS & TERRIFIC PRICES ACHIEVED IN 2022!

PHOENOMINAL, UNBELIEVEBLE, AMAZING, OFF THE CHARTS & RECORD SETTING – ARE ALL WAYS TO DESCRIBE THE 2022 LAND MARKET!

When It Comes to Auctions, EXPERIENCE COUNTS! Our Auction Company and Our Experienced Team of Associates, Provides EXPERIENCE and RESULTS that are Second to None! 2023 marks a monumental milestone as we embark on our 91st year and the 4th generation of our firm being engaged in Auction, Real Estate & Farm Management Services, since being founded in 1932 in our hometown of Flandreau, SD – still operating as Kuhle-Sutton Agency, LLC and growing to Chuck Sutton Auctioneer & Land Broker, LLC in Sioux Falls, SD and Pipestone Realty, LLC in Pipestone, MN.

- Having Longevity Spanning a Period of 90 Years in the Auction Industry, Our Company has Delivered Decades of Service and Formulated a Wealth of Experience, a Track Record for Success and Recognition as One of the Pre-Eminent & Leading Auction Companies in the Upper Midwest. Once again, in 2022 Chuck Sutton Auctioneer & Land Broker, LLC experienced a high level of success with our land, acreage and other real estate auctions, achieving remarkable results, selling over 11,000 acres at auction and privately. Additionally, our farm equipment and other personal property auctions also achieved some very noteworthy results, some of which were highlighted as some of the highest sales in the nation. This kind of success isn’t an accident, as it only happens with an extensive understanding of market trends and conditions, along with a wealth of expertise gained from decades of experience and a reputation of success for being a leader in the auction industry, as our motto states “SUCCESSFUL AUCTIONS DON’T JUST HAPPEN, THEY’RE PLANNED!

Questions continue to be presented to us about the strength of the land market, it has been our observation that the land market remained very strong throughout 2022, achieving record or near record prices in many cases. A big part of the equation as to why land values remain strong, is that in most areas there continues to be an inadequate supply of land available for purchase, hence demand outpaces supply. At the close of 2022 we witnessed that many land buyers remain “Sold on the Market” – especially those that had strong equity positions, as there remain many individuals that are anxious to invest in agricultural land as a safe haven for investment of their dollars. Even throughout periods of increasing interest rates in 2022, the land market continued to defy gravity and performed at record levels. One key factor remains – That being that the economic theory of “Supply and Demand” remains in full force & effect, as it appears that there continues to be an unbalanced demand for high quality cropland, as there seems to remain a greater supply of qualified buyers in the marketplace, than there is land available for purchase.

AS FOR 2023 – Going forward, paramount factors including supply and demand, interest rates, other economic trends and influences, commodity prices for grain and livestock, crop production, farm operating expenses and other extenuating factors will influence land values in 2023. In our opinion the near-term outlook is for land values to remain strong as we begin 2023.

Land sale results in 2022 achieved “Record & Near Record Highs” in many instances, rivaling previous all-time peak values. In 2022 we recorded 9 sales over $15,000.00 per acre – the high being +/-80.5 acres in Lincoln County, SD with future development potential at $43,000.00, other noteworthy sales included a 51 acre parcel in Lincoln Co., SD near Worthing at $17,400.00, 157 acres in Rock Co., MN at $15,800.00/Ac., 160 acres in Pipestone Co., MN at $15,500.00/Ac., 70 acres in Wall Lake Twp. in M’haha. Co. at $15,600.00/Ac. and 134 acres in Benton Twp. in M’haha Co. northwest of Crooks, SD at $15,150.00/Ac., 31 parcels sold in a range from $10,000.00 to $14,999.00 per acre, 26 sales fell in a range from $7,500.00 to $9,999.00 per acre, 9 fell in a range from $5,000.00 to $7,499.00 per acre and the remainder including some more marginal cropland and grassland sold below $5,000.00 per acre

**NOTE – All of our Land Sales Results for 2022 and Prior Years at available for review on our website at www.suttonauction.com. One recent article sourced from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service cited that from 2021 and into 2022 land values increased in SD by 18.7%, MN was up 17.4%, Iowa was up 21.4% and NE was up 21%, that said it is our opinion these types of increases are not sustainable.

In summary, IT IS A GREAT TIME TO SELL! - As the Demand for High Quality Land & Pasture Outpaces Supply. As we begin 2023, it appears that the mindset of farm operators and investors alike in the market for land have a relatively high degree of optimism and remain competitive in their pursuit and acquisition of land, and that said - the auction method of marketing in conjunction with our knowledge and professional experience creates a forum that exposes your property to the maximum number of qualified buyers, resulting in the true “Fair Market Value” and “Top Dollar” for your property. Our sales are conducted in a manner where there are no “Buyers Premiums” or “Hidden Fees!”

A Sincere “Thanks” to all of the sellers we had the privilege to serve, a big Thank You also, to all of the buyers, bidders and others who attended our real estate and personal property auctions, and especially to those who continue to spread the accolades concerning our auction services and staff, our professionalism, experience, reputation and integrity. Again, THANK YOU ALL for your business and continued support! We look forward to putting our experience to work for you in 2023.

Considering the sale of your land? If so, contact Chuck Sutton and Jared Sutton and let them put their years of experience to work for YOU! At the close of 2022 we are proud of the fact that our firm has been a true and tried leader in the land market, having sold over 10,400 acres at auction in 2022 and for the period from 2012 through 2022 we have sold over 131,000 acres, thus Our Reputation and Success is Backed by Years of PROVEN RESULTS.

AUCTION METHOD SETS THE MARKET WITH EXCELLENT PRICES ACHIEVED IN 2022!

SOLD AT AUCTION IN 2022

These auctions were conducted by Chuck Sutton & Jared Sutton and their primary associates, as well as other cooperating auctioneers & RE brokers.

If you are considering the sale of your land, contact, Chuck Sutton and Jared Sutton and let them and their professional associates put their years of experience to work for You!! We really need land to sell, as we have buyers in the market for virtually all types of land. Also, if you need assistance with Farm Management Services, we manage several thousands of acres of agricultural land in eastern South Dakota and Western Minnesota.

“Successful Auctions Don’t Just Happen They’re Planned” - The Sale of your property may be a once in a lifetime event, so it is important that you rely on an auctioneer with experience, knowledge, education, marketing & promotional skills, established contacts with numerous qualified prospective buyers and last but not least - a track record of success! Our auction company serves the auction needs of clients in South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Our firm has grown to be recognized as a leader in the auction industry. Furthermore, auctions have become the marketing method of choice for farmland, being the most tried and true method of marketing with a proven record of results surpassing such methods as sealed bids and negotiated sales, with auctions providing the “Ultimate Marketplace” - by maximizing the number of prospective buyers and also allows the seller to set the terms of sale and puts all buyers on an equal playing field, where all parties have a fair and equal opportunity to bid and buy Acre per Acre, Item per Item, Head per Head and Dollar per Dollar, a professionally managed and conducted auction is the most efficient method by which a seller may merchandise and obtain “TOP DOLLAR” for their property.

WHEN PLANNING AN AUCTION, CONTACT CHUCK SUTTON AND LET HIM AND HIS ASSOCIATES HELP YOU MAKE PLANS FOR A SUCCESSFUL AUCTION.

Sincere “Thanks” to all of you who have been and are responsible in so many ways for our ongoing success – from all of us at . . .

”Remember, Successful Auctions Don’t Just Happen, They’re Planned!!”

Sioux Valley Energy Donation to City of Hills Minnesota Helps Purchase Playground Equipment

Colman, S.D. – The city of Hills, Minnesota recently received a total of $10,000 in donations from Sioux Valley Energy to help purchase playground equipment. The funding will help support a city-owned facility that will house up to three childcare locations.

“The city has been working diligently to try and find a solution to help with the daycare provider shortage problem. This project has been in the making for quite some time. We can’t say thank you enough to our many local and corporate partners who have stepped up to help make this project a reality for us. It is a long process but together with everyone’s help and the generosity of partners like Sioux Valley Energy, we are going to make this a reality for the city of Hills,” said Mayor Keith Elbers.

Childcare challenges not only impact individual families but can also affect the entire community. Sioux Valley Energy supports the city of Hills’ innovative approach to an ongoing problem.

“One of the Cooperative’s core principles is commitment to community, and this is the type of project that really embraces and highlights that. We know that availability and affordability of childcare is a challenge, especially in smaller or more rural communities, and we stand ready to be strategic partners in finding solutions,” said Tim McCarthy, Sioux Valley Energy CEO.

The funding, presented to the city of Hills at the end of December, comes from the Cooperative’s Operation Round Up® program which provides grants to worthy causes to communities and non-profits from funds collected when members ‘round up’ their electric bills. A matching donation was provided by Sioux Valley Energy’s REVIVE 2030 program which was designed to partner with local communities to assist with growth and development.

Communities within the Sioux Valley Energy service territory footprint are invited to take part in the Cooperative’s REVIVE 2030 program. For more information, call Brandon Lane or Jay Buchholz at 800-234-1960.

Sioux Valley Energy, a Touchstone Energy® Cooperative, is a member-ownedutility, providing reliable electric service at cost-based rates to more than 28,000 homes, farms, businesses, and industries in a seven-county area of east-central South Dakota and southwest Minnesota. #

Colton Economic Development Group

Receives $15,000 Boost from Sioux Valley Energy Colman, S.D. – The city of Colton, S.D., recently formed an economic development group accepting an inaugural investment of $15,000 from Sioux Valley Energy. The funding, presented to the group at the end of December, comes from the Cooperative’s REVIVE 2030 program which was designed to partner with local communities to assist with growth and development.

Colton Mayor Trevor Bunde says this type of early financial boost will make a big difference as the city begins to develop land for the Geraets Addition. The first phase of the housing development includes 70 acres and 49 homes.

“Sioux Valley members should be really proud they are part of an electric co-op that makes investments into communities like this,” said Bunde.

Sioux Valley Energy CEO, Tim McCarthy, added that while financial investments are helpful, the Cooperative is focused on providing “boots on the ground” assistance in partnership with other organizations like Sioux Metro Growth Alliance.

“Colton is a vibrant community that is focused on the future and what they have accomplished is impressive. We are hopeful that Sioux Valley Energy’s REVIVE program, along with assistance from Sioux Metro Growth Alliance, will help other communities grow and prosper as well. There is so much more to economic development than just financial investment—it takes time, dedication, and commitment and we are ready to be a strategic partner to help them reach their goals,” said McCarthy.

Sioux Metro Growth Alliance’s, Jesse Fonkert, agreed.

“Successful economic development requires strong partnerships. Sioux Valley Energy has demonstrated this time after time with the support they offer their members and communities. We’re excited to support the work of the Colton Economic Development Group and know this gift will be well utilized,” said Jesse Fonkert, President & CEO of Sioux Metro Growth Alliance.

Communities within the Sioux Valley Energy service territory footprint are invited to take part in the Cooperative’s REVIVE 2030 program. For more information, call Brandon Lane or Jay Buchholz at 800-234-1960.

Sioux Valley Energy, a Touchstone Energy® Cooperative, is a member-owned-utility, providing reliable electric service at cost-based rates to over 28,000 homes, farms, businesses, and industries in a seven-county area of east-central South Dakota and southwest Minnesota.
