The
Right Fit
When Gary Kunde met Wes Hosch 11 years
ago, he found the perfect person to keep
his farm operation running once he retires

Gary Kunde was
itching to plant
beans the day
that Wesley
Hosch stopped by
the shop on his Cottonville farm
in 2006.
“I didn’t put a whole lot of
effort into our meeting,” Kunde
recalled. “It was short, maybe 15
minutes. I just wanted to get out
into the field.”
