"Our family has been banking at Western for three generations now. I’ve been here over 40 years. During that time, a relationship of mutual trust has been built, and I feel very comfortable here at Western. I like the fact that I personally know most everyone. Western has always worked with us as our farm and family have grown."

Terry (James & Jon) Haman, Crary, ND
