Jesse Meyer & Marion D Rider- Sheboygan County Sesquicentennial Farm

Marion grew up on her families farm and was farming since the young age of 3 helping with little tasks. Her sister had acquired her families farm shortly their father passed away. He was in the process of turning it over into her sisters possession in 1986 when he passed. Luckily that transition was easier as Marion and her sister were already working partners for the farm. Marion went to schooling at multiple universities and was in school for 18 years, even earning a masters degree in science. She was not planning on farming until her sister passed leaving Marion with the farm. Marion was 35 years old at that time. She farmed on her own with the help of some part time employees over the years. 

The Rider family raised Registered Holsteins and have taken pride in their genetics over time and have their generational cows to this day. That's where Jesse Meyer now plays a role in the continuation of their farm. Jesse started helping Marion when he was 10 years old on the farm. As Marion has no immediate family. His wife also helped for 10 years and their daughter even helps as well. Being Jesse had come from a farm family it came naturally to take on Marion's farm work load as their relationship grew and she got older. Now the plan is for Jesse Meyer to keep the farm going, even though there is no blood relation.
