“This landlord/tenant relationship started with Chuck’s [Wollschlager] father-in-law, Melvin Swenson, and my dad [Dwayne Breyer]. Melvin and dad farmed together for over 50 years, which is a long time. I think that’s pretty important. And then it went to Chuck; and now Chuck has been in the picture for 20 years or more. And so, it’s been a lifelong deal between our family and their family and I think that’s pretty neat.”
John Breyer

The Breyer and Wollschlager families have a multi-generational relationship rooted in shared goals for the land. Working together, the families have created a lasting legacy of conservation on the South Dakota landscape.
