Just a couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to meet Joe Arnold and his parents at their family farm in Holloway. Sitting around their dining room table, Joe told me about his grandpa Vernon, who built their farm from nothing in the late 1960s. Vernon was an original shareholder of the Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative, a legacy that continues today with Joe, whose crops include sugar beets as well as dry edible beans, corn, and soybeans. At only 22 years old, Joe is a third generation farmer and hopes to continue the tradition started by his grandpa.
