The Snellers have run their 943-acre dairy and crop farm for more than 50 years, raising 100 milking cows and growing sugarbeets, corn, wheat, soybeans and hay. Their herd earned a national breeder award for 34 straight years. The induction ceremony took place at Presbyterian Church in Hastings, featuring remarks from state and national farm leaders.
