For more than 50 years, Dan Broxterman has farmed the Kansas soil full time — but his story started long before that.
As a young boy, he learned early what responsibility looked like. Long days. Hard seasons. Showing up when it wasn’t convenient. Farming wasn’t just a job — it was a way of life.
Alongside his wife of nearly 50 years, Dan helped build not only a successful farming operation at Broxterman Farms, but a life centered on faith, family, and community.
In 1982, they had a simple idea: raise some money to help a local family in need.
That idea became the Baileyville Benefit.
Forty-four years later, that small-town fundraiser has donated more than $5.5 million to families facing hardship — proving that when rural communities rally together, there’s nothing they can’t do.
This episode is about loving the land.
But it’s also about loving your neighbor.
It’s about stewardship — not just of acres and crops — but of people.
This is a story of grit, generosity, and what can happen when farmers decide their impact goes beyond the field.
