This auction awards the opportunity to purchase a very nice +/-74.8 acre parcel of land with an extremely high percentage tillable that is situated in a prominent agricultural area lying between Madison and Chester, SD in Lake County, SD. FSA information on this parcel of land being sold is slightly overstated as it includes approx. 3 acres that is within the acreage site owned by a family member, thus the cropland and base acres will be subject to a minor adjustment, although presently this property as a whole was indicated to contain a total of 79.92 acres of farmland with approx. 78.01 acres of cropland with a 37.16 acre corn base with a 102 bu. PLC yield and a 37.14 acre soybean base with a 34 bu. PLC yield and has been enrolled under the ARC County Election of the USDA Farm Program, although the FSA information will be subject to an FSA reconstitution. The general topography of this land is level to gently rolling. According to the Lake Co. Assessor, as a 78.99 acre parcel prior to a recent survey of the excluded acreage site, this land had an Overall Soil Rating of .698; comparatively Surety Agri-Data info. indicates this land as a whole and prior to the acreage survey had a soil rating of 71.4. This land is sold subject to seller enhanced cash rent for 2023, with the new buyer to receive a seller’s enhanced rental amount of $250.00 per acre on 74.8 acres for a total of $18,700.00, which will be credited to the buyer at closing, with the lease expiring on Feb. 28, 2024. The 2021 RE taxes payable in 2022 on this land were $1,598.86. This is a parcel of land that is well suited to serve as a nice addition to an area row crop farming operation or investment.

Last week, in our review of the religion of Secular Humanism in the USA, we concluded asking, “What has been the impact on Christen- dom?”
That the opportune venue to indoctrinate an unwitting society with Humanism was the public school system. It began with John Dewey’s program in the 1930s at Columbia University to condition teachers.
In the mid-1970s, the impact of Theological Modernism rose in the Concordia Lutheran seminary (LCMS). The seed of Seminex was sown in a 1973 conference charging professors of denying that the Bible is the only source of doctrine. Some Seminex doctrines were that Jesus was not necessarily born of a virgin. Adultery is not necessarily wrong.
What was the origin of the professors' foundation that they could deny the absoluteness of the Bible? And students who accepted the changes were already primed by Humanism to follow their own minds. Implicitly, the rejection of the Bible as absolute rejected the Sovereignty of God. Seminex as an independent movement lasted until 1987 when it merged with a few other synods to form the ELCA.
Now some churches ordain homosexuals as ministers, a clear rejec- tion of God’s word (Romans 1:24-28). What is the result of this unbelief, undergirded by Secular Humanist indoctrination?
Barna (religious pollster– 2020) concluded that in 30 years “we tran- sitioned from a people who upheld the existence of absolute moral truth to...where the majority now rejects moral absolutes. The result has been a seminal shift...from other to self, and from absolute truths to condi- tional truths. That shift...explains why the ‘doesn’t/don’t know/don’t care’ population, regarding the existence of God, has mushroomed from 8 per- cent to 32 percent – 300 percent increase! That’s one-third of the nation’s adults who have chosen to dismiss traditional teachings about God.”
Trusting self and one’s desires, rather than submission to God and His inspired word (Bible), ultimately results in destruction –“And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it” (Je- remiah 18:9-10).
We need to make the radical change and return to God – 100%! Jim Mettenbrink [email protected]
