Lars Herseth, a beloved South Dakota rancher, farmer, and longtime public servant, passed away at 80 after a courageous battle with cancer — surrounded by family, at home. His decades in state politics, from the House to the Senate and even a gubernatorial run, were defined by his tireless advocacy for agriculture, transportation, and rural economic growth. He famously helped save the state’s railroads during a pivotal era and remained a driving force in renewable fuels long after leaving office. His legacy lives on through his family and the communities he served — a memorial service is set for October 4th in Aberdeen, with donations welcomed to Feeding South Dakota or South Dakota Public Broadcasting.
