Ann Bell Myers
Ann Bell Myers passed away
on April 5, 201 I.
She was born July 7, 1928, on
the family homestead near Alpha,
southeast of Beach, in rural
Golden Valley County. She .was
the second-youngest child of six
children born to John and Lena
Herr.
Ann attended grade school in
the Alpha school through the
eighth grade and worked at the
Golden Valley County Hospital in
Beach where she met her late hus-
band Robert (Bob) Myers, while
he was visiting his hospitalized
mother, Clara Myers. The couple
was married on Oct. 14, 1951, in
Medora, and they raised a family
together on Bob•s crossbred cattle
ranch 6 miles west of Medora.
Ann began training horses as a
teen-ager and continued as an
active horse trainer and riding
instructor throughout most of her
life with an excellent reputation
for gentle, yet responsive horses
that were brought to her to train by
horse owners throughout the upper
Midwest. A tireless and energetic
worker, Ann's record for training
horses was 34 in one year, while
also taking an active hand in farm
and ranch operations by working
alongside her husband. She also
always raised a massive garden for
the benefit .of family, friends and
the needy. A scrupulous record
keeper, Ann's notes indicate that
the most produce she canned in
one season to feed the family for
the winter was 200 quarts and 500
pints. She was also heavily
involved with her children's activ-
ities, most notably as a 4-H leader
for 25 years.
After their children were
raised, Ann and Bob took in many
young adults from across the U.S.,
including those with family issues
and/or learning disabilities. An
enthusiastic, lifelong learner, Ann
spent her later years as a master
gardener and spent several years
from 1984 through 1989 working
with the Theodore Roosevelt
Medora Foundation as the town
gardener for historic Medora. and
she later became an accomplished
one-stroke painter. In 1989, Ann
and her husband retired from
ranching and moved to southern
Illinois where she lived until her
death.
Ann's life story had been pro-
filed by a number of newspapers,
including the Fargo Forum, and
her life story was also turned into
a documentary film titled Dakota
Cowgirl, that was produced by her
granddaughter, Nichole McCall, a
professional photographer and
film producer in New York City.
Funeral services will be held at
4 p.m. on Sunday, April 17, at the
Union Congregational Church in
Medora, followed by a reception
at 5:30 p.m. at the Badlands
Ministries dining hall, located 4
miles south of Medora. Dakota
Cowgirl will receive its inaugural
screening immediately following
the reception meal.
Ann was preceded in death by a
daughter, Stella Myers, her hus-
band, Robert Myers, and is s.ur-
vived by four children: Esther
Myers, of Trenton, Ill.; Dr. Pattie
Myers-Gurevitch, of New York
N.Y.: Glen Myers, of rural Red
Owl, S.D.; and Wade Myers, of
Southlake. Texas: and 10 grand-
children.
Opportunity for producers
The USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) says
another;lpding opportunity for
certified:di'anic producers and
those transitioning to organic pro-
duction to implement resource
conservation practices on their
agricultural operations is avail-
able.
While applications are accepted
on a continuous basis, the cutoff
date" for this application period is
May 20, 2011.
"Organic farming has been one
of the fastest growing segments of
U.S. agriculture for more than a
decade," said Jack Russell, NRCS
acting state conservationist in
North Dakota. "Currently, North
Dakota ranks second in the Nation
in the number of certified organic
cropland acres. This opportunity
will allow organic producers to
enhance their conservation stew-
ardship efforts."
Organic Initiative funding is
provided through NRCS'
Environmental Quality Incentives
Program (EQIP), a voluntary con-
servation program that promotes
agricultural production and envi--
ronmental quality as compatible
national goals. The 2008 Farm Bill
provided assistance specifically for
organic farm operations and those
converting to organic production.
