If you are able to work together well with family members within a business, it can be a wonderful thing. In the case of two of the Samson brothers from Eden, it is almost as if they were made to work together. Micah and Mitchell Samson, twin brothers, have years of practice working together and as the owners and operators of Muskrat Farm Supply in Eden, they are continuing to make that partnership work.
The brothers are natives of Eden and graduated from Roslyn High School. After graduating, they both spent time at South Dakota State University before they moved on to Lake Area Tech. Micah obtained a degree in Energy Technology and Mitchell one in Building Trades. After completing their time at Lake Area, the pair moved on to different jobs in the Watertown and Brookings area.
Yet, they soon felt the call to return to the northeast part of the state. Back home, their father was running a successful business in Eden that piqued the twins’ interest. Their dad, Curtis, had purchased the old elevator owned by Leron Knebel. Knebel and his wife Jackie had bought the former Farmers Elevator Co-op in the 1990s after it dissolved and ran it as a feed store.
Curtis bought the business, located right on Highway 25 on the east side of Eden, in 2002. He continued with feed sales and added chemical services and his Pioneer seed sales to the business. The operation became Muskrat Farm Supply.
