 About 30 miles west of Bismarck, North Dakota, you'll find a town with quite an agricultural legacy. New Salem was founded in the early 1880s. The Holsteins kind of came in around the turn of the century. Probably one of the leading dairy communities in North Dakota. Primarily it was German immigrants that settled here first. Alan Tellman has lived and worked in and around New Salem for all of his life. He knows firsthand the importance of the Holsteins to the area.
