In this episode of Golden Tidbits, we sit down with Ed, our youngest guest so far at 73 years old. Growing up in Fruitdale, South Dakota, Ed experienced the joys and challenges of life on a family farm. From tending to milk cows, geese, and cattle to growing sugar beets when the factory was still buzzing in Belle Fourche, Ed’s childhood was filled with hard work and a deep connection to the land.

But it wasn’t all work and no play—Ed’s dad bought him a go-kart to drive to school, and as a teenager, he had a car that made him the go-to friend for rides around town. In this episode, Ed shares stories of his youth, the fun of driving his friends after farm chores, and the close-knit community he grew up in.

Join us as we explore Ed’s memories of rural South Dakota, the lessons learned from farm life, and the simple pleasures ...
