Checkoff Check-In: Mt. Vernon

Seeing the broader perspective

By visiting different communities and lifting up the individual voices of producers across the state, the Checkoff Check-In will celebrate the individuals and communities that have made agriculture the foundation of South Dakota’s growth and prosperity.

Farms widely vary in size, crops, livestock, family, and so much more. Diversification is essential to create balanced, full-circle family farm businesses. Mike Jaspers’ and Brent Greenway’s farms both exemplify sustainable, successful, diverse crop/livestock operations.
