Big Stone County Farm Family

Webster family

David and Katie Webster's farm is a first-generation farm that the couple started together in 2015. 

Soon after purchasing their farm, the Websters built a custom feedlot that averages 100 head of beef cattle. David, who grew up just outside of Ortonville, is the farm's main operator; Katie assists whenever and wherever she can.

Along with raising beef cattle, David has since left the Bellingham Elevator after 14 years and is in his second year of crop farming. David is also one of the Odessa township supervisors and does all the snow removal and road grading for the township.

Katie, who is originally from Graceville, started a cleaning business in 2018. When not working, she helps with moving equipment, delivering meals to the fields and whatever else needs to be done. 

David and Katie have two daughters, Kylie and Hannah. Both girls have their farm chores and help wherever they can. The girls are also involved in gymnastics, volleyball and softball.
