Ellis and Rita Yoder of Monitor Church of the Brethren are among the six Kansas Master Farmer and Farm Homemaker couples recognized this year, according to Kansas Farmer. The publication lauded the Yoders for their care for the family’s 120-year-old farm southwest of McPherson. They are involved with Growing Hope Globally, and also have “spent the last 30 years incorporating no-till and regenerative agriculture practices into the farming operation,” said the article. “The goal is to have healthier soils so that their grandchildren will be able to continue the family’s ties to the land and the community.”
