Jordan and Amy Schneeberger
The Schneeberger farm was homesteaded in 1895 by Jordan’s great-great-grandfather. In 1961, Jordan’s grandparents, Lorn and Kitty Schneeberger, began farming with Kitty’s father, Art Rustand. In 1959, Jordan’s father, Larry, started farming with his dad, Lorn, turning the Rustand farm into the Schneeberger farm.
Jordan followed in his family’s footsteps and began farming alongside his father and grandfather in 2006, making Jordan the fifth generation of the family to farm the land. Jordan has had a passion for agriculture from a very early age, which led him to rent his first piece of land in 2006, beginning his own farming career.
Today, Jordan raises corn, soybeans and sugar beets, alongside his dad, Larry, and two hired men, Cody Swift and Terry Ricks. The Schneebergers are members of the Min-Dak Farmers Cooperative in Wahpeton, N.D., where all the farm's sugar beets are processed.
Jordan and his wife, Amy, met in 2016 while Jordan was attending the annual Min-Dak meeting with Amy’s brother. They were married three years later. Jordan and Amy reside on the farm with their daughters, Adelyn and Elena. Adelyn loves to spend time in the shop with her dad and grandpa fixing things and both girls like Ranger rides to check on crops. Jordan volunteers with the Wendell Fire Department and serves on various committees. Amy is involved with the West Central Area School Dollars for Scholars program.
