Kempfer’s three sons — George, Henry and Michael — now run day-to-day operations, and his grandchildren are involved as well, making it six generations of the family to work the land off U.S. 192.

But, make no mistake: While Billy Kempfer, 69, doesn’t get on his horse every day to tend the cattle because of a series of back injuries, he still is deeply involved in his business, and in agriculture in general.

“I am just passionate about the future of production agriculture, and the protection of personal and private property rights,” Kempfer said. “I kind of have a reputation for being opinionated.”

Loadholtz said Kempfer “has been widely known for his opinions, observations and sometimes admonishments. His advice and reprimands are legendary, but his trust is to be cherished.”

“He is persistent in his opinions” on such things on land use and water use, and protecting agriculture from governmental rules and regulations that Kempfer feels restrict agriculture production, Loadholtz said. “He wanted fair regulations, not overregulation.”

Kempfer said, when it comes to regulation, “we want sound factual information. We don’t want emotional regulations.”

He said agriculture sometime is “the whipping boy,” but he believes it is environmentally sound, providing habitat, open space and green space.
