The Lange Farm – Established in 1909

Herman Frederick Lange purchased the western half of his farm from the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1909 and the eastern half in 1910. In total, he purchased 640 acres. He used this land to grow wheat, barley and corn for his cows. He raised four boys and one girl on the farm. Herman actively farmed the land until the mid to late 1930s when his sons Leo and Herman took over.

In 1939, Leo married Gertrude Mae Kennedy of Glendive and they had six children: four boys and two girls.

In 1967, Leo's sons Bob and Russell took over the farm. Russell and his wife, Debbie (Johnson) lived in the family homestead with their three children. Russell passed away and Debbie remains in the homestead with their daughter.

Bob and his wife, Nesha (aka Snooks) Bosshard of Sidney, purchased a home one mile north of the farm and raised three children together. Bob purchased the farm in 1987.

Bob's son and 4th generation Lange, Kylee, currently manages the farm. Together they farm wheat, corn, barley, soy beans, and safflower and raise some cattle. They also have a few 4H pigs and a couple of goats for the kids.
