Friday, August 2, Grainland Farmer’s in Emden held on open house to recognize three men for their many years of service on the elevator board. Together the three men served the board for over 76 years.

Grainland Farmer’s started as an Emden/Minier Cooperative and then became Grainland Cooperative before being renamed Grainland Farmer’s.

Emden resident Tom Alberts served 36 years on the elevator board.

Emden resident and semi-retired farmer Jim Klokkenga served 20 years on the elevator board.

Jonathan Schertz, who is deceased, was recognized for over 20 years of service on the board.

Alberts and Klokkenga received plaques noting their years of service. Emden is fortunate to have such dedicated people on their elevator board.
