Anita L. Boyenga, age 81, of rural Ellsworth, Minnesota, passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus on Thursday, May 11, 2023, while at home surrounded by her family.
A public visitation was Monday, May 15, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Hartquist Funeral Home in Luverne, Minnesota. A private family service was Tuesday, May 16. Burial will be held in the Stateline Cemetery, rural Ellsworth, Minnesota. To sign an online registry, please visit www.hartquistfuneral.com.
Anita Lucille Boyenga was born March 23, 1942, to Roney and Alma (Griesse) Wiese in Rock Rapids, Iowa. She was baptized and confirmed at the Stateline Presbyterian Church in rural Ellsworth, Minnesota. Anita was raised on the family farm southeast of Luverne. She attended country school through the eighth grade in Ash Creek, Minnesota, and graduated from Luverne High School in 1960. Following graduation, Anita attended the South Dakota Beauty Academy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
On November 18, 1961, Anita was united in marriage to Ronald Boyenga at the Stateline Presbyterian Church. Their first year of marriage was spent living on Ron’s parents’ farm near Ellsworth. They then rented an acreage two miles down the road which they would later purchase. Anita helped in various aspects of the farming operation in addition to raising five children. She also harvested from a large garden every year, canning and freezing the produce.
Anita was currently a member of the United Christian Church in Rock Rapids after being a lifelong member of Stateline Presbyterian Church until its closing. She was very involved in both churches. Through the years she helped teach Sunday school and Bible School, helped lead youth group, and filled the role of church secretary which included preparing the weekly bulletins.
Anita was gifted at sewing, crocheting, knitting and baking. She was known for her baby gifts of knitted blankets. She also knitted hundreds of sweaters which were donated to charities for children around the world. Anita grew beautiful roses for many years, providing the kitchen table with lovely roses throughout the summer. She was an avid reader and a faithful student of the Bible. She enjoyed a good game of pinochle, traveling, and especially attending her grandchildren’s events and activities. Anita will be remembered for her faithfulness in sending birthday and anniversary cards, her hospitality in hosting family holiday meals, and her generosity.
In her final years, Anita courageously lived out her cancer diagnosis without complaint, continuing to think of others before herself and maintaining a sense of humor.
Left to honor her memory are her husband, Ron; five children, Melinda (Chet) DeJong of Rock Rapids, Wanda (Mike) Jarchow of Luverne, Mike (Angie) Boyenga of Ellsworth, Hugh (Patrick) Boyenga of Sacramento, California, and Nicole (Chris) Maag of Sioux Falls; grandchildren, Maxwell (Gracia), Luke (Madelaine), Emily (Matthew), Amelia, Elise, Griffen, Anja, Katia, Lydia, Carter, Simon, Brynn, and Maesa; two great-grandchildren, Jack and Henry; brother, Loren Wiese of Sioux Falls, and brother-in-law, Mark (Priscilla) Boyenga of Hamilton, Ohio.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Robert (age 8) and Vernon Wiese; and two sisters-in-law, Annette Wiese and Ruth Wiese.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to ATLAS of Rock County, Minnesota or ATLAS of Lyon County, Iowa.

Christian Boisen, Luverne, Owned Luverne’s First “Juke” Box
(Continued from last week.)
Snow was so deep in the streets of Luzerne (Iowa) that it was possible to walk from the center of the street in one place to the top of a two story building.
         Considerable sleet fell too, that year, and Mr. Boisen recalls skating to town three miles distant on the ice sheet that covered the ground.
         At that time, he worked on a farm and earned $30 for the 9-month season. Grain was harvested with a self rake, and to go someplace, a person either walked, or rode in a lumber wagon as buggies had as yet not come into being.
         A “wonderful” development, he relates, was the “march Harvester” on which two men could stand and bind grain by hand. Later, a binder attachment was invented for the machine. A binder using wire instead of twine to tie the bundles didn’t prove successful, because livestock, in eating the straw, often swallowed wire which later caused them to die. First binder to really attract attention was the “Walter A. Wood.” Mr. Boisen recalls that a demonstration he once attended in Iowa attracted 300 persons. Even then, practically every other bundle was loose.
         He remembers also when the spring buggies were first used. People then ran to the window to see them drive by, just as they later watched with interest the coming of the automobile and airplane.
         He stayed at Luzerne until he was old enough to “paddle his own canoe,” he states. He travelled around the state, mostly working on farms. He was in Plymouth county for a while, and recalls that in 1895, farmers in that section raised one of their best crops. Wheat yielded 40 bushels to the acre, but was worth only 35 cents a bushel. He worked on a threshing machine for 75 cents a day.
         “Those were really hard times,” Mr. Boisen states. “I can remember when potatoes sold for five cents a bushel and butter was worth five cents a pound in trade. I also remember one time that a whole carload of potatoes was just dumped because they couldn’t be sold, and the owners couldn’t afford to pay for the use of the railroad car for storage space. I’ve seen them come down the railroad track in groups of 50 or more, all of them out of a job. Many of them were wearing stiff collars, but thy were broke.
         “One thing about it though, prices of what you had to buy were correspondingly low. You could buy the best suit of clothes for $10.
         It was in 1898 that Mr. Boisen set foot in Luverne for the first time, and he has been here ever since. The first thing he noticed was that so many people spoke the Norwegian language. “I’d never heard Norwegian in my life before,” he states, “and I couldn’t figure out what nationality they were.”
         That same year, on Sept. 2, he was married to Anna M. Everett at Jasper.
         He later obtained a job driving a livery for John Cameron, and the next spring he bought a light dray line. He would haul a whole load any place in town for 10 cents. He also made deliveries for Hawes and Son’s department store, making four deliveries daily and furnishing his own team for $10 a month. “I soon found out that there wasn’t any money in that so I sold out,” he says.
         He then obtained a job helping to lay the first sanitary sewer through Main street. His wages were $1.75 per day for a 10-hour day.
         In 1903, he began to paint and do paper hanging, and that has been his business for the past 40 years. The first house he ever worked on was what was then known as the old Stelling house in the northwest part of town. He earned $1.25 per day for his work.
         Here it might be well to explain that Mr. Boisen’s work was done under physical handicap. When he was a young man, he fell from a moving train and lost one foot, and part of his leg. After it healed, he used a peg leg for many years, and with that peg leg, he has walked behind a walking ploy day after day, and has climbed and stood on ladders 50 feet in the air while painting.
         It didn’t even affect his dancing, one of his favorite pastimes as a young man. Even after the accident, he taught dancing in northwestern Iowa, and in Luverne and Hardwick.
         Although he doesn’t work as hard now as he once did, Mr. Boisen is still active, and enjoys life.
         He has two sons, Staff Sergeant Waldo Boisen, of Camp Polk, La., and John Boisen, of Luverne. He also has two grandchildren, Jarvis and Ramona Boisen of Luverne.
         Mr. Boisen was the youngest of a family of eight children, seven of whom were boys. Only he, and a brother, J. F. Boisen, of Keystone, Iowa, are now living. One brother was killed in the Prussian war.

Agricultural producers and landowners with certain expiring Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts can receive additional rental incentives and extend that land’s role in conservation for another 30 years. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has opened the signup period for its Clean Lakes, Estuaries, and Rivers enrollment (CLEAR30) now through July 31, 2023.
CLEAR30 is a part of the CLEAR initiative, which prioritizes water quality practices as a part of Continuous CRP enrollment and is one of several CRP enrollment opportunities. CLEAR30 allows producers and landowners enrolling certain water quality practices to enroll in 30-year contracts, extending the lifespan and strengthening the benefits of important water quality practices on their land. Like other CRP enrollments, CLEAR30 is a voluntary, incentive-based conservation opportunity offered by USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA).
“The foundational value of CLEAR30 enrollment is right there in its name: Clean Lakes, Estuaries, And Rivers — there is nothing more essential to all things on the planet, including agriculture, than clean water,” said FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux. “CRP is one of the world’s largest voluntary conservation programs, and our CLEAR initiative and CLEAR30 enrollment gives our producers and landowners a great option to continue their conservation practices well into the future.”
Cropland and certain pastureland that is currently enrolled in Continuous CRP or the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and is also dedicated to an eligible water quality practice, such as the establishment of riparian buffers, contour strips, or grass waterways, may be eligible for CLEAR30 if their contracts are expiring by Sept. 30, 2023.
CLEAR30 contracts will be effective beginning Oct. 1, 2023. These long-term contracts ensure that conservation practices remain in place for 30 years, which improves water quality by reducing sediment and nutrient runoff and helping prevent algal blooms. Conservation in riparian areas also provides important carbon sequestration benefits. Traditional CRP contracts run from 10 to 15 years.  
 
About CLEAR30                                                                                                                     
CLEAR30 enrollment was established in the 2018 Farm Bill to better address water quality concerns. Originally, CLEAR30 was only available in the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay watersheds; in 2021 FSA made CLEAR30 available to agricultural producers and landowners nationwide, and participation grew nearly seven-fold from 2020 to 2021.
Annual rental payments for landowners who enroll in CLEAR30 will be equal to the current Continuous CRP annual payment rate plus a 20-percent water quality incentive payment and an annual rental rate adjustment of 27.5 percent.   
 
How to sign up 
To sign up for CLEAR30, landowners and producers should contact their local USDA Service Center by July 31, 2023. Contact information can be found at farmers.gov/service-locator. Additionally, fact sheets and other resources are available at fsa.usda.gov/crp.       
 
About Continuous CRP
CLEAR30 is one of several enrollment opportunities with Continuous CRP, giving producers and landowners the opportunity to enroll in CRP throughout the year without specific signup periods. Through the overall CLEAR initiative in Continuous CRP, USDA prioritizes water quality practices to reduce sediment and nutrient loadings and to foster clean lakes, estuaries, and rivers.
Offers are automatically accepted provided the producer and land meet the eligibility requirements and the enrollment levels do not exceed the statutory cap.
Continuous CRP offers conservation benefits similar to others, like General and Grassland CRP, but also offers unique flexibility and several program choices, which in addition to CLEAR30, include:
•State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE): The initiative restores vital habitat in order to meet high-priority state wildlife conservation goals.
•Highly Erodible Lands Initiative (HELI): Producers and landowners can enroll in CRP to establish long-term cover on highly erodible cropland.
•Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP): Working with conservation partners, CREP leverages federal and non-federal funds to target specific state, regional, or nationally significant conservation concerns.
•Farmable Wetlands Program: Producers and landowners can enroll land in CRP to restore previously farmed wetlands and wetland buffers, improving both vegetation and water flow.
•Clean Lakes, Estuaries and Rivers (CLEAR): Prioritizes water quality practices to reduce sediment, nutrient loadings, and help prevent algal blooms to foster Clean Lakes, Estuaries, and Rivers
 
More information
CLEAR30 is an enrollment option available through CRP, one of the largest voluntary private-lands conservation programs in the United States. CRP was originally intended to primarily control soil erosion and stabilize commodity prices by taking environmentally sensitive lands out of production. The program has evolved over the years, providing numerous conservation and economic benefits. In addition to CLEAR30, signups are also open for Continuous CRP and Grassland CRP. The Grassland CRP signup opened April 17 and runs through May 26.

When we believe in Jesus Christ as the only way for our salvation, the Bible promises us that we are …
… a child of God. (John 1:12)
… a friend of Jesus Christ. (John 15:15)
… justified in Christ. (Romans 5:1)
… bought with a price and we belong to God. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
… redeemed and forgiven of all our sin. (Colossians 1:13-14)
… complete in Christ. (Colossians 2:9-10
… given direct access to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 4:14-16)
… free from condemnation. (Romans 8:1-2)
… citizens of heaven. (Philippians 3:20)
… free from a spirit of fear and given power, love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
… chosen and appointed to bear fruit. (John 15:16)
… ministers of reconciliation for God. (2 Corinthians 5:17-21)
… the very workmanship of God. (Ephesians 2:10)
… able to approach God with freedom and confidence. (Ephesians 3:12)
… able to do all things through Christ, who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13)
… are a chosen people, a royal priesthood and God’s special possession. (1 Peter 2:9)
… loved by God. (Romans 5:8)
… a brand-new creation. The old is gone.  We are made new in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
… precious and honored in God’s sight. (Isaiah 43:4)
… promised eternality with God. (John 14:1-6)
… uniquely gifted for the glory of God. (1 Peter 4:10)
… blessed. (Ephesians 1:3)
There are days when life is hard, but when we stop and remember the hope we have because of Jesus we can continue knowing we are loved. Our hope begins when we understand Jesus came to reconcile us to God. Because of our sin Jesus died, was buried, and rose again and, in doing so, extends the gift of salvation to all believe in him.
When life is bad or good, remember who you are in Jesus Christ.
