The Lyon County Farm Family of the Year were Karen and Pat VanKuelen of Ghent. The family grows corn and soybeans and raises hogs.
They have four children, Grant, Chase, Emily and Haley. The boys hope to farm someday and the girls are nurses.
Pat also serves on the Grandview Township Board and the Polar Swine Board. Karen is a member of the Marshall School Board and is on the Southwest Minnesota State University Alumni Board.
Their family farm originally belonged to Pat’s parents, but when they retired, Pat and Karen took ownership of the family operation.
They indicated, “We’ve learned the value of hard work and working together.”
