Doeden property in the family since 1890 Land sold between family for $1 — twice BETH RICKERS brickers@dglobe.com WORTHINGTON — As far as qualifying as a Century Farm, the Doeden property near Lake Ocheda south of Worthington more than fits the bill. The year of original purchase by a member of the family is 1890 — 126 years ago.

Current owner of the property is Mary Doeden Blanchard (along with her husband David), greatgreat-niece and great-granddaughter of the original owners, brothers Nels O. Langseth, Martin Langseth and Jens Langseth. Jens was grandfather to Mary’s mother, Phyllis Langseth Doeden, who still lives on the property.

Mary assembled the historical information necessary for the Century Farm

declaration, finding some interesting tidbits along the way.

The Langseth brothers bought the property — the northeast quarter and north half of the southeast quarter of Section 18, Indian Lake Township — from the Minnesota Loan and Investment Co. for $3,000 on Oct. 6, 1890.

Twenty-two years later, on Dec. 9, 1912, Nels and Martin sold their shares to Jens for “$1 and other considerations.” Mary and the rest of the family have no idea what those “considerations” might have entailed, although it’s led to some speculation.

When Jens died Aug. 1, 1936, the property went to his wife, Ellena, and sons O.H. Langseth and C.C. (Clarence C.) Langseth, Clarence being Phyllis’ father. They paid $508 in

inheritance tax. Ellena died in May 1943, and later that year, O.H. sold his share to brother C.C., again for the whopping sum of $1.

Phyllis inherited the farm, and she and her husband, Glen Doeden, took up residence after they were married in 1962.

“I grew up across the way,” said Phyllis. “From 1948 to 1962 I lived in Minneapolis — went to college there and worked. (Glen) went into the service.”

The original house on the Zebedee Century Farm has had undergone several additions over the years.

Jackson County farm still boasts original house CAMERON JENSON Daily Globe ALPHA — Joseph Zebedee founded a farm in 1894, and his land and name remain in the family more than 120 years later.

Located a few miles southwest of Alpha, the farm was established a year before the post office was first functional in the city.

The Zebedee farm was passed down to Joseph’s son, Louis, and it remains operational today by his son, Joseph, who carries the name and legacy of the original owner.

“My husband’s grandfather was the one who bought the farm, and he built the house in the late 1800s,” said Joseph’s wife, Patricia Zebedee. “My husband was named after him.”

Joseph, who grows corn and soybeans, was busy planting earlier this month after several days of heavy rain kept him out of the fields. He also used to raise livestock, but he hasn’t done so for about 30 years.

“Louis had hogs and cattle and Joseph did, too, for a while,” said Patricia. “Joseph stopped raising livestock in the ’80s. I miss the animals. I always wanted to be a veterinarian, so I didn’t like seeing them go off to market.”

Joseph took over the farm from his dad when he married Patricia, and they applied for Century Farm recognition in his honor.

“We were married in 1961, and he bought

the farm at that time,” she said. “We wanted to have the Century Farm in memory of his dad. He was such a nice person. He always told me that the house was built in the late 1800s, and he wouldn’t have told me so often if it didn’t mean so much to him.”

The house Joseph and Patricia live in is the original house built by his grandfather, and it is very important to the family.

“My husband was born and raised here, his dad was born and raised here, and our kids were raised here,” said Patricia.

The first building constructed on the farm was the house, and the rest of the farm grew from there.

“In the late 1800s they didn’t have the tools that we have today, but the house is built very well,” she said. “I am just amazed with his grandfather that he built such a solid house. He would have to have been an awesome man.”

Despite the house being 122 years old, it has truly lasted the test of time.

“When we first got married, there was no bathroom and no running water,” said Patricia. “We added onto the house, and someone suggested that instead we tear it down and build a new one. For us it was not an option. His grandfather built this house, and it’s solid. You can’t even hear a storm in the old part.”

A farm built on faith

An aerial photo of the Andy Wagner farm taken in 1970.

ADRIAN — Four generations of the Wagner family gathered around the kitchen table recently to share the story of a farm that has remained in their family for 103 years. The farm is being recognized this year for reaching a century of continuous family ownership.

For the Wagners, keeping the farm in their family for more than 100 years has taken grit, determination and the faith that God will see them through the ups and downs of production agriculture.

At age 94 — he celebrates his 95th birthday Monday — Andy Wagner has called this farm in the southwest quarter of Section 34, Larkin Township, Nobles County, home for all but the first year of his life.

His grandparents, Dreese and Katie Hieronimus, purchased the 160-acre parcel in 1913, along with a second quarter-section in the northeast quarter. The latter property had already been homesteaded, so the couple resided on that site with their seven children.

Originally from Rockford, Ill., Dreese and Katie moved to southwest Minnesota — midway between Rushmore and Adrian — after living on a farm near Little Rock, Iowa.

“The land was originally purchased from the Dunning estate,” said Andy.

One year after he purchased the kitty-corner connected

“They moved a house on here and built everything (else),” added Andy, the youngest of John and Lena’s three children. “(John) borrowed $6,900 to buy the quarter section.”

quarters, Dreese decided to sell the southwest quarter.

“Grandpa bit off a little more than he could handle with the half section and ran into financial problems,” Andy said.

Dreese didn’t have to look far to find a willing buyer.

The couple’s oldest daughter, Lena, had married in 1914.

She and her husband, John Wagner, had already settled on neighboring land in Olney Township, but they decided to help out Lena’s parents and buy the southwest quarter.

“They moved to this farm in 1922 — it was still bare ground,” said Wendell Wagner, grandson of John and Lena.

Chandler farm survives changes for 102 years ALEX CHHITH achhith@dglobe.com CHANDLER — The Rylaarsdam farm started with 160 acres in 1914.

Today it spans double that — 320 acres.

Verlin Rylaarsdam, who goes by Ike, lives and works on the dairy farm with wife, Kathy, two sons, five grandchildren and — at times — five dogs. Their youngest son, Glen, 25, technically lives on a neighboring plot of land, and his dogs frequent the Rylaarsdam farm.

Ike’s grandfather, Cornelius Rylaarsdam, originally purchased the farm and came to the United States from the Netherlands at age 19. When he first visited the U.S., Cornelius explored parts of Michigan and Pennsylvania. In the Netherlands, Cornelius was a farmer and a trucker, Ike said.

Cornelius returned to the Netherlands to bring his soon-to-be wife, Marie Rylaarsdam, to Chandler in southwest Minnesota. He originally bought two plots of land in 1914 — the one Ike lives on and another 80 acre farm in the town. The latter was sold after the couple died.

Marie was a schoolteacher in the Netherlands, but never taught again after moving to Chandler.

“She had a tough time adjusting,” said Kathy Rylaarsdam, Ike’s wife, adding that Marie was a “city lady” and felt isolated in the countryside.

Cornelius and Marie never visited the Netherlands moving and passed away in the 1940s.

Ike and Kathy never met Cornelius and Marie (Ike was born in 1952), but they know the move was for the better.

“It was better than what

Ike’s mother, Alice Rylaarsdam, also immigrated to Chandler from the Netherlands when she was 6 or 7 years old. Her maiden name was Vis, and Kathy said many people in Chandler recognize it today.

Adjusting to change Ike bought the land from his father, Cornelius Marinus Rylaarsdam, in 1986.

He always knew he wanted to stay on the farm.

The original house that came with Cornelius’ purchase of the land still

stands, though the family recalled with laughter that it’s had many additions.

“It was so small, some women used to call it a granary,” Kathy said, adding that the structure has a barn-like roof.

Over the years, the family’s livestock species on the land have varied. They originally raised sheep, hogs, chickens and cows, but Ike and his family now only raise dairy cows.

“We had to go with one thing to make it work,” Ike said.

Ike’s sons Virgil and Glen Rylaarsdam graduated from Ridgewater College in

Willmar in 2003 and 2011, respectively, with degrees in dairy management.

When Virgil returned after college, it became apparent to Ike that his sons wanted to work on the family farm. So, in 2003, Ike doubled the size of the family’s dairy herd to 250 cows.

With advancement in technology, manual labor has significantly decreased, Ike said, adding that the family has a machine that can plant eight rows of corn or soybeans at a time.

‘As good as Dad did it’ Schillings represent fourth generation on rural Rock County farm JULIE BUNTJER jbuntjer@dglobe.com ELLSWORTH — John Bergman never liked to talk about the family he left behind in his homeland of Wiemer, Germany. At age 18, he found himself living in a country in turmoil, under a leader determined to put Germany at war.

Bergman chose to walk away from his homeland — away from his family — and boarded a ship headed for the United States and the promise of freedom and fertile farmland.

His journey to America ultimately led him to central Iowa’s Grundy Center, and in 1902, at the age of 31, he married Grace Welp in Kamrar, Iowa.

Bergman became friends

with Harry and Rudolph Klosterbuer during his years in Iowa. When the Klosterbuers and their wives — twin sisters — decided to move to southwest Minnesota, the Bergmans followed suit.

John and Grace initially settled on a farm south of Ash Creek, adding six children to their family over the next dozen years. Their youngest, Josephine, was born in October 1914, and now resides in the Twin Cities at age 101.

When Josephine was 2, in 1916, her parents purchased 160 acres from Michael Burke in the northeast quarter of Section 23, Kanaranzi Township, Rock County. There was a house and a barn, as well as a small garage, granary,

It was here that the Bergman family raised corn, oats, alfalfa, cattle and hogs.

“He was a water witcher,” said Twyla Schilling, a great-granddaughter of John and Grace, and current owner of the farm with her husband, Craig.

“He raised his own willow trees for witching water.

He witched many wells in the community and around Ellsworth.”

John and Grace farmed together until 1931, when John lost his battle with Bright’s Disease, a chronic inflammation of the kidneys for which there was no

Grace remained the owner of the farm until 1953, when it was sold to the couple’s oldest son, Joseph.

Joseph was 50 years old when he took ownership of the farm. A bachelor, he farmed on his own, growing corn, oats, alfalfa and eventually soybeans on the 160-acre farm.

The Langseth legacy Lake Ocheda farm has stayed in family since 1901 BETH RICKERS brickers@dglobe.com WORTHINGTON — The Langseth roots run deep on properties located around Lake Ocheda. Ole Nelson Langseth — a Norwegian immigrant who first came to La Crosse, Wis., brought his family to Nobles County in the early days of its settlement.

Three of his sons — Nels, Jens and Martin — are the original owners of the land — purchased by them in 1901 — now owned by Melba Langseth that runs along the shore of Lake Ocheda. The township road dissects the properties, with the home where Melba’s son Al and his family now live located in Lorrain Township, and Melba’s house and the family cabins in Indian Lake Township.

Nels, Jens and Martin co-owned the Indian Lake parcel for only one year, before Jens took full ownership. From there, it passed to his son, Clarence (also known as “C.C.”), who owned it for 59 years; and then Melba’s husband, Rodney, for 32 years before he died.

The Lorraine Township land was owned by Nels for 11 years; passing to Jens for two years, then on to Clarence and Rodney. Al and Carol Langseth have lived on the Lorain property since 1977; prior to that it was a rental.

An aerial view of the Langseth lakeside property hangs on the wall in Melba Langseth’s home.

from Page C8 But Al and his siblings — Randy, Kathy, Paul and Roger — grew up on the lakeside farm, as did their father, Rodney, and his sister, Phyllis Langseth Doeden, who now lives about 5 miles to the south on the farm she also inherited from their father, Clarence Langseth. (See the Doeden Century Farm story on Page C3.)

The Langseth clan is also intertwined with another wellknown name in the Ocheda region — Nystrom — with many marriages between the two families, including two brothers who married two sisters.

In preparation for making application for the Century Farm designation, Al got out the family scrapbooks of photos and gleaned some interesting pieces of information from the archives.

From a 1937 newspaper clipping: “The Langseth brothers in Indian Lake Township have threshed out over 3,200 bushels of oats of their own; the average yield being about 47 bushels to the acre.”

Al also remembers flax being a big cash crop for the family.

“When it blooms, it gets blue flowers, and they are just beautiful waving in the wind — it looks like water,” he described.

This granary on the Indian Lake Township Langseth property dates back more than 100 years.

Another item of note: Al’s grandmother (Phyllis’ mother), Ida Langseth, was one of the charter members of the Worthington Garden Club, formed Sept. 11, 1939.

“I grew up weeding gardens,” said Al, remembering the extensive flower beds his grandmother planted along the lakeshore around the house that C.C. and Ida shared with Rodney and Melba.

Weeding the flower beds was only one of many chores for Rodney and Melba’s kids, of which Al was the oldest.

“I grew up with cattle hogs, chickens,” Al said, adding that the place was a “menagerie.”

She and her siblings also took care of feeding milk replacer to the baby calves.

“Dad had garbage cans rigged up with nipples around the outside so we would feed all the calves,” she said. “He was always trying to come up with easier ways to do things.

“Saturday morning we couldn’t watch cartoons until the chores were done,” she added. “Nowadays, these kids don’t know what chores are.”

Stan and Gert built a new home for their family on the farm in 1976, right alongside the old house that was eventually torn down.

The old house is the source of many memories for the Wessels kids. Twyla recalled the little horsey that sat on the front porch

As they grew older, their fun turned to pranks.

Twyla shared a story about how her parents frequently hosted card club with other couples, and

when they did so, the kids were always sent upstairs and out of the way.

In their old house, they had a floor vent that allowed the kids to not only look downstairs, but listen in and play tricks as well.

For instance, they would sometimes take peanuts and drop them through the vent, right into the bouffant hairstyle of one of the female card players.

When the new house was nearly completed, Twyla and her older sister, Tammy, couldn’t wait to sleep in their new bedrooms.

“Tammy and I were the first ones to sleep in it,” she said. “We put our sleeping bags in our bedrooms and we slept there. We crawled through the window in the morning to go back home for breakfast.”

Joseph actively farmed the land until 1969, when the family farm was sold to his nephew, Stan Wessels, and his wife, Gert. Stan had grown up at Ash Creek, and he and Gert were living just a couple of miles down the road from the Bergman farm when they had the opportunity to buy it.

Twyla was 2 years old when the family moved to the northeast quarter of Section 23, Kanaranzi Township.

“And I haven’t left,” she said with a grin.

Twyla is the third youngest of four children adopted

by Stan and Gert Wessels.

They grew up on the family farm, each having their own chores to do.

“We worked a lot of cattle here,” Twyla said. “We did have some cow-calf (pairs) up on the hill and we had feeder cattle; we raised hogs.

“I sat out in the hog barn many nights — that was my job, to save the babies,” she added. “I had to clean their mouths. I’d sit on top of the hog crate and make sure (the sows) didn’t lay on them.”

All four of the Wessels children were active in 4-H. They showed cattle and rabbits, and Gert taught the girls how to sew. “(The rabbits) would multiply really fast,” Twyla shared. “Mom butchered them and we would eat them.”

Her brother, Terry, though, thought the rabbits were his pets, so they always kept it a secret.

“It didn’t matter what it was, we were eating chicken,” Twyla said with a laugh.

Her chores on the farm included feeding the rabbits and picking eggs from underneath the laying hens.

“I hated them dumb

During the summers, the family always found time for camping and vacations, and during the winter months, they’d find their own fun around the farm.

Twyla recalled years where the snowbanks were so large, they could climb on the roof of the chicken barn and slide down the snow bank.

“Mom always talked about Dad having to dig out of the house,” she added.

During those snowstorms, a Wessels tradition was to load up the family on one of its tractors and drive to the Cliff and Sharon Schilling farm about a mile and a half down the road, where they’d gather to make homemade ice cream. The two families took turns hosting the ice cream-making extravaganza — which was done with an old hand-crank ice cream maker, Twyla said.

Cliff and Sharon are uncle and aunt to Twyla’s husband, Craig. The two attended Ellsworth Public School together and were high school sweethearts.

LAKEFIELD — A view of South Heron Lake is a cherished feature of the Burmeister family farm.

Burmeister property today consists of 148.85 acres and continues to be worked by a Burmeister.

“My son Joel Burmeister rents and farms it,” said Marianne Burmeister.

BURMEISTER from Page C12 In addition to cows, Marianne and Albert raised a healthy crop of seven children.

“Taking care of our children was my main job, but I did help milk, too,” she shared.

Although son Joel is the only one of the seven to remain engaged in farming, the other Burmeister children include LeCinda of Lime Springs, Iowa; Rhonda, an R.N. in Fort Dodge, Iowa; Loren, who works at Toro in Windom; Joel’s fraternal twin, Jer, an electrician; Alan, a postal worker in St. Paul; and Nichole, a bank employee in Okabena.

“I also have 18 grandchil-

dren and 20 great-grandchildren,” stated Marianne with pride.

Small wonder, then, that a recent family reunion, hosted at the Burmeister farm earlier this month in celebration of its newly awarded Century Farm status, attracted close to 200 attendees.

“We prepared the meat — Alan was doing it on the grill — and then the rest was potluck,” noted Marianne. “We’d been pulling together for a long time to get things ready.”

German heritage is prevalent among the Burmeisters. Marianne explained that Herman Burmeister’s

parents had immigrated from Germany, likely after 1860. Marianne’s father, Charles Gott, also arrived in the U.S. from Germany, although he married Ruby, who was of English descent.

“August Burmeister was the one who came from Germany,” said Marianne.

“He was a charter member of the group that started St. Peter Lutheran Church.”

St. Peter Lutheran, located six miles north of Lakefield on Minnesota 86, remains the Burmeister family’s house of faith and worship.

“Our children were all baptized there,” she shared.

“But Albert and I were married in Okabena, where I grew up.”

Agweek’s Today’s Farm Original buildings still stand on Diemer century farm

Thursday, June 23, 2016 • C15

WINDOM — One hundred and forty years ago, 160 acres of land was deeded by the state of Minnesota to the St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad Company.

The land was then homesteaded when sold to a local homesteader in 1888. The land was finally bought by a young and determined couple, George and Rosy Diemer, in 1914, and it has since been the Ray Diemer Family Farm.

I hung out here with my grandparents all the time, and sometimes I would bring my friends.

I technically lived here.

Jon Diemer

Century Farm owner

The farm has stayed in the family for four generations. It’s now owned by George and Rosy’s great grandson, Jon Diemer, and his wife, Julie.

“It’s my great grandpa and grandma who started it all with the help of my grandfather,” said Jon. George and Rosy Diemer started a busy and successful family farm. The three barns and one chicken pen standing on the farm today were built by George and his son, Ray. They were filled with many animals,

including sheep, horses, cows and plenty of chickens.

“He had all kinds of animals, and the farm was just thriving,” said Jon. The flourishing farm lasted many decades, and Jon’s father and grandfather couldn’t have asked for it any other way. For Jon’s dad, Ray, growing up on the Diemer farm and going to school in Heron Lake was “the best time to be a kid ever,” and Jon couldn’t agree more.

ANDREA MAGANA/DAILY GLOBE

Jon and Julie Diemer and their son, Tanner, on the Diemer family Century Farm.

BB guns, hunting and broken bones Jon remembers his weekend stays and long summer visits to the Diemer farm when he was a young child.

“I hung out here with my grandparents all the time, and sometimes I would bring my friends,” said Jon. “I technically lived here.”

Jon’s weekend visits would include exploring the land, helping his grandparents on the busy farm and — best of all — “terrorizing everything with my BB gun.”

For Jon’s father, fingers getting caught in the mower and broken bones were more common than one would expect. Jon recalls many family stories that included one type of injury or another.

One story he won’t forget involves the time his aunt fell off the hay loft as a young girl. Luckily, the neighbor was quick enough to catch her in time.

Congratulations to area’s Century Farms WORTHINGTON — Ten farms in the Daily Globe coverage area of southwest Minnesota are being honored in 2016 as newly christened century farms.

To achieve this status, farms must have remained in continuous family ownership

DIEMER from Page C15 Today, the treasured memories being made by Jon’s two sons, Tanner and Sam, include four-wheeling, gardening, logging and hunting.

“The house is our hunting shack, and we come out every duck opener,” said Jon. “The farm is our hangout spot now.”

Same farm, different age If you walk around the Diemer farm today, you will see everything as it was 100 years ago. The farm serves as an aging time portal. None of the original buildings have been knocked down or remodeled.

“The hard part right now is that it’s getting run down,” said Jon. “When the buildings don’t get used, they begin to fall apart.”

for 100 years, be a minimum of 50 acres in size and apply to the Minnesota State Fair/ Minnesota Farm Bureau to be recognized.

Each of the farm owners will receive a plaque, a certificate signed by Gov. Mark Dayton and be recognized in a display at

However, Jon recognizes that the Diemer Farm possesses something that many farms around the area do not — the original 100-yearold buildings.

“Every year when farms get bought out, the farm sites get tore down and made part of the fields,” said Jon. As more farms get bought out and less people live in the country, the Diemer farm will become a rarity.

Another change that Jon has noticed over the past years pertains to farming practices.

Unlike his grandparents’ farm with smaller grains like oats and alfalfa and a few dairy cows and pigs, farms of today are obsessed with what Jon calls the “monoculture.”

“Nowadays, instead of a few patches of corn and beans, it’s pretty much all corn or all beans,” said Jon. “There aren’t as many animals, either. If someone has animals, it’s because they

own a dairy or hog farm.”

Many farmers may be deciding to tear down their old buildings and use the land for farming, but Jon has a different plan in mind.

“One thing that is important for being a family farm is keeping the place up,” said Jon. “Our plans this summer are to redo the roofing and paint all of the buildings again.”

Will the farm be passed down a fifth generation?

Jon is dedicated to keeping the farm in the family as long as possible or “until I die.” Whether his sons decide to buy it from him in the future is up to them.

“It just depends on where we are with our lives and what we decide to do,” said Tanner.

As for now, the farm will continue to be a family treasure and a community time capsule.

“It’s something to have for the family,” said Jon. “We love it.”

With one of Joel Burmeister’s four children — son Landon — interested in farming, Marianne has hope the Century Farm may stay in the family for coming generations.

“It was booked every weekend,” recalled Paul Langseth. “There would be three or four groups out here every weekend.”

Phyllis remembers her mother having enough bowls and cups to feed chili and cocoa to the throngs of sledders who descended on the lake each winter.

The current Langseth residents no longer farm the surrounding land. Al is employed by Nobles County as a feedlot officer, while Paul is in the tree/nursery business, and their other siblings have moved out of the area.

But with the tempting lake so close by, the chores were quickly done so the kids could have some fun in and around that water playground.

“I remember everybody getting sunburned,” recalled Al. “We were either in the field or out on the lake.”

There was also a game refuge, he added, and there is still a small parcel of land that has never been tilled, as it was always used for pasture.

While they have owned the land for well more than 100 years, the Langseths have often found evidence that they are not its first inhabitants — arrowheads and other artifacts of native peoples and animals. Al and Carol’s son, Jared, is an archaeologist and maintains a dig site on the property, and buffalo bones are often found along the Lake Ocheda shoreline.

But the main activity on the property in the most recent century has been farming — both livestock and crop — and the family is proud of its agricultural heritage.

As a young man, Rodney Langseth took part in the International Farm Youth Exchange program, spending three months in 1948 in Norway. He continued to be involved in the program throughout his life, hosting exchange participants from around the world, and his family’s summer vacations were spent traveling to IFYE conferences all over the United States.

There are now two cabins on the property — one owned by Phyllis and her family, the second by the Langseths. In the Langseth cabin, a plaque commemorates Rodney’s IFYE involvement.

Over the years, there were toboggan slides located on the property, which drew great crowds of people

diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and a few months later, Ethan with epilepsy.

“I am so grateful we could come back home,” said Jamie. “I got sick, Ethan got sick all at the same time. It’s so peaceful out here, and he can ride his bike, and I don’t have to worry about him. There are so many things he can do out here.”

Ethan likes to fish in the nearby lake, and Jami has planted a large garden and oversees the current “menagerie,” which includes chickens, a few pigs and a new litter of puppies.

The Langseth family has a lot of history to reflect upon this summer, as matriarch Melba will have a 90th birthday in addition to some sort of observance of their land’s century status. They will celebrate the roots that were planted deep by Ole Langseth on the shores of Lake Ocheda and continue to branch out through more generations.

Agweek’s Today’s Farm SCHILLING from Page C10 “You’ve known me more (years) than you haven’t known me,” Twyla told her husband.

“I’m two weeks older than he is.”

Craig and Twyla married in 1989, settling on a farm south of Ellsworth that Craig had purchased after high school.

“Craig was always planning to move to his dad’s farm on the state line,” Twyla said.

However, when Twyla’s dad announced his plans to retire from farming, they decided to purchase the Wessels farm instead.

“Dad had the farm sale and we ended up buying most of his machinery,” said Twyla. “It wasn’t too hard to move back home.

My brothers, neither one of them were interested in farming.”

Stan and Gert initially moved to Luverne and later purchased an acreage just down the road from the family farm.

“After he retired, Dad helped Craig quite a bit,” Twyla said.

“He helped farm for 10 or 12 years at least — proba-

bly more than that,” added Craig.

They grew corn and soybeans on the farm, raised hogs for several years and had cattle up until about a decade ago, Craig said.

The livestock setup remains in place, including silos, a feed shed and cement feeding floors.

Though the lots have been vacant for a while, Craig said the farm will once again be home to cattle beginning this fall. Craig and Twyla’s son-in-law, Aaron Spykerboer, has a cow-calf operation and wants to be able to grow his herd.

“We have a little grandson, Axel,” Twyla said.

“We’re hoping he’ll come over to feed the cows and stop in the house and ask Grandma for cookies.”

Aaron is married to the oldest of the Schilling daughters, Dani. They reside in rural Rock Rapids, Iowa, and Dani works as a graphic designer for Simply Said.

Middle daughter McKayla attends the University of South Dakota and serves in the National Guard, and

youngest daughter Karli will be a senior this fall at Luverne High School.

They represent the fifth generation to call this Rock County farm home. As they grew up, they witnessed several changes made by their parents to the site.

The old barn was taken down in 2007, with a shop constructed in its place.

Improvements were made inside the house, and Craig added more grain bins along the south side of the building site.

The one remaining original building to the farm is a small garage their youngest daughter has turned into a house for her menagerie of cats.

“It’s called the cat house

now,” Twyla said with a laugh.

Though Craig and Twyla have many more years of farming planned in their future, they hope one day to pass the family farm onto the next generation.

“It’s just very important for me to keep the farm in the family,” Twyla said.

“Watching my mom and dad grow up here farming, and being able to take over that is very heartwarming.

(We want) to try to do it as good as my dad did it. He was a good farmer, and we learned from the best.”

Stan Wessels died June 11 under hospice care. Gert now resides in Luverne.

WAGNER from Page C5 The house was moved in from a farm site six miles away, near Wilmont, with the steam engine tractor.

“It took a while,” Andy said. He was a year old when they moved to Section 23.

“It was your typical two-room house,” added Wendell.

“The family built a kitchen and a porch on it. It had two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs.”

“My dad put the buildings on here. They were all on the small order,” Andy shared. “It was tough times and then the Depression came in — we never really had a lot of money.”

John raised corn, oats and other small grains on the farm, later planting alfalfa. While growing up there, Andy said his chores included helping with the livestock and picking rock.

“They milked a few cows, had chickens and farrowed a few pigs,” added Wendell. “Back in those days they had spring pigs and fall pigs.”

“Everybody had a dozen cows to milk and we milked by hand,” added Andy.

The first tractor for Andy Wagner the Wagner family was Farmer a Fordson model with a hand-crank start and steel wheels.

“They were hard starting — they didn’t have the regular magneto the new tractors had,” Andy shared. “It was real hot to run because you sat right on top of the transmission.”

“That’s why so many guys stood up on those old tractors,” Wendell added.

Andy was about 13 years old when he learned to drive the tractor. Before that, his family used horses.

“The first corn I planted, I planted with horses,” Andy

All the years that I grew up, until the start of World War II, everyone was poor.

Threshing was done as a neighborhood chore. There was one farmer with a threshing machine and he did the threshing for all of the neighbors, Andy said. Each family was responsible for cutting the oats and putting it in bundles, and then on threshing day, everyone carried the bundles to the threshing machine.

Andy said he was recruited to help with threshing when he was about 15.

Agweek’s Today’s Farm from Page C5 “All the years that I grew up, until the start of World War II, everyone was poor,” Andy said. “Nobody had any money. They sold oats for a nickel a bushel.

“In the 1940s, the prosperity started where we could buy a few things,” he added. “We had a milk check and an egg check and on Friday nights you went to town and sold the cream.

At that time you could buy overalls and the necessary things at the grocery store.

The egg money went to the women and that was the grocery money.”

“All the crops raised went for the pigs and the cattle,” Wendell shared. “They’d all do their own butchering, the women did a lot of gardening — everything was pretty self-sustaining.”

John and Lena owned the farm for 37 years, selling the quarter to Andy and his bride, Geraldine. The two were married in 1944.

“My story always was that my folks and her folks were friends so we laid in the crib together and I liked what I saw,” joked Andy.

In fact, his dad and Geraldine’s father started the East Friesland Church in rural Rushmore.

When Andy and Geraldine were married, Geraldine moved to the Wagner farm, where they shared the home for the first year with Andy’s parents. After a year, John and Lena moved into Rushmore.

Several changes were made to the farm by Andy and Geraldine. In 1963, they tore the old barn down to make room for a larger, more modern barn. In 1969, they built a new home on the farm and tore the old one down.

“The buildings … were all so small and had to be bigger,” Andy said. “First we built on to them, and then later we tore them down.”

“They built a chicken house and a machine shed,” detailed Wendell.

“The chicken house was a nice building in those days — for about 500 chickens.

The machine shed was small with tin and poles and a dirt floor.”

Some of the buildings were eventually torn down or moved to another site.

Today, the only original buildings remaining are the hog house and chicken house. The hog house serves as a storage shed, and the chicken house was turned into a three-stall garage.

As improvements were made to the homestead over the years, they were also made to the farmland.

“There was a lot of wasteland here,” Wendell said, adding that tile was installed and waterways were straightened to improve the farmland.

Andy still recalls the first year soybeans were planted on the Wagner farm. They started with 15 acres.

“The first year we raised beans for hay,” he said, adding that the crop was cut with a binder.

“Nobody knew what they

Andy said after that first year, a neighbor with an Allis Chalmers combine came and combined the beans for them.

“Of course, beans became real successful,” said Andy.

“Our farm is about half beans now.”

In addition to the introduction of soybean seed, Andy said another big improvement on the farm came with hybrid seed.

“It was quite an exciting

Stan Dopheide

time when the hybrid seed corn came out,” he said.

“When we bought the corn, we got a full bushel. Now you get 80,000 kernels.”

Back then, Andy said they paid about $12 to $16 for a bag of seed corn.

Today, Michael said it costs about $335 per bag.

When Andy and Geraldine took over the farming operation, they also took over the chores. They kept the 12 milk cows and continued to raise about 300 hogs and 500 chickens.

All of the animals became chores for the couple’s children. They had five in all, losing one daughter, Connie, in infancy. Wendell is the oldest, followed by Bryan, Pam and Marilyn.

“I helped feed cattle,” said Wendell of his years growing up on the Wagner farm.

“I’d always help with vaccinating little pigs and taking care of the sows.”

By age 13 or 14, Wendell learned to drive his first tractor, an M Farmall. With it, he helped cultivate and cut and rake hay before graduating to more difficult farming tasks.

Wendell said technology

has made farming today much different than it was when he was growing up.

With the introduction of hydraulics, electronics and GPS, “Your time is so much more productive now,” he said. “You can do so much more than when you had to do it all by hand.”

“Probably one of the greatest things about modern farming is Round-Up,” added Andy. “We’re all pretty good farmers with Round-Up.” To see this family through more than 100 years, and the next generation wanting to continue in the family’s farming tradition, Andy said, is an honor.

“I always had confidence in the future,” he said.

“I’ve got two boys and they’re both talking about farming,” added Andy’s grandson, Michael. Those sons, Mitchell and Marshall, along with their sisters, Mackenzie and Madeline, represent the sixth generation to work the land in Larkin Township.

“Mackenzie is wild about livestock,” said Wendell.

“She’s going to SDSU to

help us out here — she might be our in-house veterinarian someday.”

When it comes to farming, everyone in the family has a job to do. Even Andy doesn’t admit to being retired.

“Yeah, I still drive a tractor,” Andy beamed. He operates a 4020 John Deere with a disk mower and a 3010 John Deere with a loader when he’s needed.

Otherwise, he said, “I look over the fence.”

“I’m happy with them (the next generations).

They do a good job,” he added. “One thing they’ve learned is to take care of the land.”

Through the years, the Wagner farm has been built on hard work and faith.

“The one thing our parents have always had is a big faith in God,” shared Wendell. “They’ve always been good about giving, and the Good Lord has always provided back.”

The Wagners will soon have a sign recognizing their family’s Century Farm. On it, they’ve chosen to put the words, “In God We Trust.”

DOEDEN

ZEBEDEE

The 160 acres are now farmed by her oldest daughter, Julie Robinson and husband Randy, who are owners of a Century Farm that came to them through the Doeden side of the clan, while the Blanchards were given ownership

by Phyllis in 2013. Her youngest son, Tim Doeden, also has his own land.

“For us growing up, we didn’t just farm (crops),” said Mary. “We had dairy cattle, so we milked cows, and we baled hay for Rod (Langseth) and Dad.” Phyllis remembers how the college boys who were hired on to help were in awe of the Doeden girls’ ability to deal with the heavy bales.

“They had the rhythm and upper body strength to swing those bales,” credited Phyllis of her daughters.

The entire family helped on the farm. Phyllis, who as a young girl drove a team of horses pulling a hay rack, later drove tractor along the same route, sometimes with her trio of tykes tucked into an area behind the seat.

There was a large garden to maintain, and always the work of preserving its bounty. Phyllis also maintained large flower beds while following in the footsteps of her mother, who was one of the founders of the Worthington Garden Club.

While farm life entailed hard work, it also had its lighter moments.

“We had all kinds of cats and dogs,” recalled Mary about the farm pets.

“We had bottle lambs that were extra friendly,” added Julie. “They would follow us around. I remember one morning, we were going to church and were waiting for Mother. One of the lambs crawled into the car and was sitting in her seat.”

Julie also recalled that her dad kept feeder cattle on the property where the Robinsons now live.

“We would take the camper down to the lake (Ocheda), and one time as we were going to sleep, the camper started rocking,” she related. “Dad kept telling us to quiet down, but we weren’t doing anything. Turned out one of the calves had come up to see what we were doing, and got its head stuck between the camper and the wheel well. Dad had to go out and get it unstuck.”

The laughter that ensued caused the camper to rock

Other than the addition, the house has only seen minor upgrades.

“We had to replace the windows and put in new kitchen cabinets, but other than that we haven’t changed anything with it,” Patricia said. “It’s all original.”

Family has always been valued by Joseph and Patricia, as they first met through family connections.

“My family moved from near Chicago to Minnesota when I was in the sixth grade, and it was quite a culture shock,” Patricia said. “My husband was best friends with my cousin, and my cousin wanted to go out with one of my friends.

My cousin told me that Joe wanted to go on a date with me, and he convinced me to go on a double date. He asked me out, and that was it.”

Of the Zebedees’ five children, one has taken up the family’s history in agriculture. Their oldest son, Bruce, farms just south of the Minnesota-Iowa border.

“Bruce helps us get our crops in, and Joe helps him with his. They farm together,” she said.

Although none of their kids plan to live on the farm, there is still a chance that it will remain in the

The house in which Phyllis currently resides is not original to the property. The first house burned to the ground in 1956, and her father rebuilt the home. No original structures stand, as Glen and Phyllis put up the current barn.

“A lot of the buildings fell into disrepair,” said Mary. “If you don’t use them, they fall apart.

“We pushed the old corn crib, pig house and old barn into the fire pit.”

Phyllis credits her children and seven grandchildren with helping her continue to live on the property, as they assist with mowing and other chores. They are all proud of the legacy the family continues to have in tending the land, not only in the family’s original 160 acres, but in the surrounding area south of Worthington.

“Our grandchildren have said that they want to live in the house, so I hope they will someday,” Patricia said.

But until the grandchildren are old enough, Patricia said that she and Joseph are not going anywhere.

“Family is important.

Joe’s brother used to farm with him, but my husband can’t quit. He’s a farmer.

The farm is in him, and we are going to live here until we die.”
