Farm4Profit Podcast · Beet Farmin’ Mitch: Sixth-Generation Sugar Beet Farmer · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah.

And it gets pretty wild.

Yeah, great question.

So I'm a sixth generation family farmer.

And so my family first came back over from Czechoslovakia back in 1863.

Now, this is where it gets fun to be back in Iowa here for a little bit is because originally they settled near Spillville, Iowa, kind of by Decorah there.

And so that's where my family originally settled and they farmed 40 acres there.

And they were there for 13 years.

And times were kind of tough.

And there was a wagon train leaving Spillville, going up to the region where I farm in the northeast corner of the Red River Valley of North Dakota.

And so Spillville, that's kind of a Czech community.

Yep.

So then my family ended up hopping on this wagon train and coming up to where we farm now in the Red River Valley.

Yep, there's a book on it.

You know how towns do century books, like 100-year books?

There's one called Wagon Train, and it's about all this.

Nice.

Zoom back into there.

Well, I think it was a series of tough years.

Okay.
