Kuipers move from the Netherlands, thrive in Texas

By Cassie Olson

cassie.o@dairystar.com

HICO, Texas – When Clemens and Karin Kuiper decided to begin their dairying career, they knew big changes were necessary. Having both grown up on dairies in the Netherlands, there was not much room for them to farm in their home country.

The Kuipers now own two dairies in Texas. Participants on the Minnesota Milk Producers Association Texas Dairy Tour had the opportunity to learn about the Kuipers’ 3,040-cow dairy in Hico, Texas.

After graduating from college in the Netherlands, the couple wanted to begin their career in dairy production. Other family members were managing both of their home dairies at the time, so returning to either of their family’s farms was not feasible. Land is difcult to come by in their home country, so the Kuipers knew they had to begin looking elsewhere. As a result, the family moved to East Germany where they purchased a tiestall barn and 22 cows to begin their dairy careers nearly

Texas dairyman Clemens Kuiper (second from leŌ) talks with Minnesota dairy farmers Donna Gregory, Mark YoƩer and Dean Christopherson (right) during the Minnesota Milk Producers AssociaƟon Texas Dairy Tour Feb. 15-19. Clemens immigrated to the area from the Netherlands in 2006 and milks 3,040 cows with his wife, Karin, in Hico, Texas.

20 years ago.

Although the Kuipers stayed in East Germany for 10 years, the limited ability to expand proved to be a challenge once again in 2006.

“Europe is smaller in size and is very crowded,” Clemens said. “There’s only room to farm on a small scale.”

The Kuipers made the decision to move to America to

seek out their next farming opportunity. They rst looked in the Midwest in hopes of starting there. However, the unique opportunity to enter the dairy industry in Texas drew them to the Hico area.

“The main reason we moved here is that it is common to lease a farm before purchasing,” Karin said. “We wanted to invest our money into the cows

rather than the buildings to start off with, giving us the opportunity to eventually grow bigger.”

In December 2006, Clemens and Karin sold their farm, herd of 220 cows and milk quota to make their move to the United States. They purchased a herd of 1,200 cows and began their milking career.

Since making their initial move 10 years ago, the

couple has grown their dairy’s size. They now own the farm on which they started, and are milking 1,640 cows on location.

In addition, they lease another dairy farm with 1,400 cows.

The couple employs a total of 35 full- and part-time employees between the two dairies.

Moving to America has proven to have its benets as well as challenges. While their cows are producing well, Clemens said the summers are tough.

“The hot, dry summer gets very hard on the cows. It can be difcult to get cows pregnant,” Clemens said.

The hottest period of year is between July and September.

Clemens said the cows take it hardest when the heats peak in September.

“The cows coming off of their dry period take it very hard in September; they need a lot of attention,” Clemens said.

The cows still perform well. The Kuipers are seeing a 75-pound per day average on their home location and an 80-pound average on their other dairy location. They are currently milking twice a day and hope to increase to three times per day in the near future.

On their home location, the Kuipers are milking in a double-16 parallel parlor. Because of the number of cows, milking twice a day takes 22 hours to complete. The couple is cur-

STEPHENVILLE, Tex. – Since 1991, the Texas Association of Dairymen (TAD) has been the advocate and unied voice for the Texas dairy industry. TAD works on behalf of the state’s dairy farmers with governmental bodies tackling issues such as the environment, animal welfare, food safety and regulatory policies.

TAD Executive Director Darren Turley met with Minnesota Milk Producers Association Texas dairy tour participants Feb. 18 at the Tarleton State University Southwest Regional Dairy Center to discuss the Texas dairy industry and tour the dairy center.

Dairy in Texas has changed greatly over Turley’s lifetime.

“When I was growing up in Dublin, Texas, a herd of 100 to 200 cows was considered the norm,” Turley said.

“Over time, however, people realized how cheap our land prices were, and soon we saw an inux of large dairies.”

Because of the availability and low price for land, a large migrant population began to settle in Texas during the late 1980s and ‘90s. Farmers migrating

from California as well as from European countries, such as the Netherlands, moved to the area, capitalizing on the land and resources the state had to offer. Herd sizes increased from 600 to 1,000-cow herds, and the industry began to peak in the late 1990s.

“We had very little issues as far as the environment is concerned,” Turley said. “Cows grazed on pasture in minimal connement and the Western dairies that moved here brought in new ideas. We saw a lot of growth in the dairy community.”

That was until the early 2000s, when a shallow lake in Waco, Texas created talk of water pollution.

“The lake in Waco is where the city draws all of its drinking water. The government began to point ngers at the dairymen surrounding the Bosque River,” Turley said. “We didn’t know we were getting shot at until it was too late.”

Stricter environmental regulations were quickly implemented. Dairies were given 60 days to comply with certain EPA standards, including the mandatory implementation of lagoons.

“We had to get political; it was all over the news. Every time it would rain, a big, black helicopter would go up into the sky and y over Waco, looking for manure pollutants on dairies,” Turley said.

Following the Waco incident, a

Minnesota Milk Producers Association visits Texas

By Cassie Olson

cassie.o@dairystar.com

The Minnesota Milk Producers Association hosted 25 dairy farmers as they traveled south for the Texas Dairy Tour, Feb. 15 to 19. Minnesota Milk’s dairy tours are designed to give farmers the chance to explore the dairy industry while taking the opportunity to get off the farm.

When producers arrived in Dallas on Feb. 15, their rst stop was the George W. Bush Presidential Center. The Center is home to the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Muse-

um, and the George W. Bush Institute. Those on the trip learned about the Bush presidency, the 9/11 terrorist attack and the War on Terror. Following the tour, trip participants put on their dancing shoes and enjoyed a night out at Cowboys Red River, where they learned Texas two-step dances.

The next day, the group departed for the Sixth Floor Museum, the location where John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

The museum highlighted the JFK presidency, the assassination and the investigation that followed.

Following the tour, participants traveled to AT&T Stadium for a

tour of the largest NFL stadium before going to TopGolf for private golf lessons and socialization.

On Feb. 17, the group traveled to Fort Worth. On their way, the group stopped at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. The garden is a public venue whose mission is to promote art, enjoyment and knowledge of horticulture, and provide opportunities for education. Following the tour, the group traveled to the famous Fort Worth Stockyards.

They received a tour of the historic district and witnessed the daily cattle drive down Exchange Av-

enue. Wrapping up their evening, the group watched the American Rodeo Semi-Finals, where over the course of the weekend, 600 qualiers competed for a place in the nals which were held at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 19.

On their nal day in Dallas, the group got an in-depth look at the Texas dairy industry.

The morning began at Hillside Dairy Farm, owned by Clemens and Karin Kuiper in Hico, Texas.

The couple milks 3,040 cows between two locations. Those on the trip toured the Kuiper’s home farm, which has 1,640 cows, and learned about the couple’s immigration from the Netherlands in 2006. Following the tour, the group went to the Southwest Re-

gional Dairy Center of Tarleton State University near Stephenville. Executive director of the Texas Association of Dairymen Darren Turley spoke to the group about the state’s dairy industry.

Following the presentation, the group toured the research facility and learned about the university’s 350-cow herd. The evening concluded with a wine tasting at a local vineyard, LightCatchers Winery.

The tour concluded as the group returned to Minnesota on Feb. 19. As the group returned to their home farms, they were appreciative of the opportunity to learn about southern dairy production and excited to return to the Midwest with the new friendships they had created.

Texas AssociaƟon of Dairymen ExecuƟve Director, Darren Turley, shared informaƟon regarding the Texas dairy industry with Minnesota Milk Producers AssociaƟon Texas Dairy trip tour aƩendees on Feb. 18. The Texas AssociaƟon of Dairymen was created to advocate for the dairy industry with Texas governmental and regulatory bodies. group of producers formed the Texas Association of Dairymen to work with legislators in order to prevent future problems from festering in the state’s dairy industry. Dairies in Central Texas began to migrate to the Texas panhandle to avoid the newly-implemented regulations. Today, 80 percent of Texas dairy farms are located in the panhandle.

Despite having only 393 dairies in the state, Texas is currently the sixth largest dairy-producing state in the nation, and is fast-approaching Pennsylvania, who is currently number ve. The average Texas dairy has 1,000 cows. Milk production is nearing the 100 million gallons per month mark, and dairy processing plants continue to grow.

While the Texas dairy industry has a positive outlook for the next three to ve years, Turley admitted there are fears.

“The thought of a wall scares us. Labor has never been a problem in Texas; there are guys coming across the border regularly who are good workers,” Turley said.

Finding quality employees may prove to be a challenge in coming years, depending on any action regarding the pending Mexico border wall. However, Turley said other alternatives are also on the horizon.

“Robots are coming to Texas. They just haven’t been proven on large-scale dairies yet,” Turley said.

“Once the robots prove themselves, we will see that migration.”

Small-scale dairies that require less hired labor are out of the question for Texas. Given the size of the state, location of dairies and their distance to processors, shipping costs make small dairying operations unfeasible. Furthermore, Turley said the state struggles with corn production, making feed costs quickly add up.

“Fifty to 55 percent of an average dairy farm’s expenses are from feed costs,” Turley said.

Following Turley’s presentation, the Minnesota Milk Producers Association toured the Southwest Regional Dairy Center. The center opened in 2011 as a partnership between the Tarleton State University (TSU) and a local dairy producer. The 350-cow herd is owned by the dairy producer and are housed in facilities owned by TSU. The partnership is a unique resource which benets TSU students.

“The producer owns 15,000 cows on multiple locations across the state,” Turley said. “Students can have animals brought in to t a specic research study by age or lactation, if necessary. Not many research programs have access to such a pool of animals.”

Cows are milked in a 24-stall rotary parlor and housed in a naturally ventilated freestall barn. The herd is primarily comprised of Jersey-Holstein crossbreds with a separate freestall barn of 35 registered Jerseys.

Cows are milked three times a day by employees hired by the dairy producer and have a current production of 77 pounds per day per cow.

The parlor and freestall barn have a unique openpeak roof, creating a chimney effect. This was built for the purpose of drawing out rising, humid heat in the summer to keep the cows cool and comfortable.

“Heat-stress level temperatures are here 24-hours a day, up to a month at a time,” Turley said. “In Texas, we have to take every precaution to keep cows comfortable come summer.”

While the number of farms in Texas may be small, production continues to rise. From the dedication of its farmers to the research of its future producers, Texas continues to be a leader in the American dairy industry.

AgriGrowth launches groundbreaking talent system that connects employers and candidates using cutting-edge recruiting technology The Minnesota AgriGrowth Council has partnered with RealTime Talent to launch the AgriGrowth Job Exchange, a cutting-edge matching technology that will transform the candidate recruitment process and streamline how employers and candidates connect with each other during the job/internship search process.

Beginning with the end in mind, the Exchange moves questions about interests, preferences, desired work place environments and priority needs to the beginning of the process, reducing hiring bias and mismatches between job seekers and employers.

The Exchange is a rst of its kind technology solution that matches optimal candidates to jobs or internships, which will reduce potential turnover and overall hiring costs, and bring a new efciency to nding and hiring employees. The sophisticated matching algorithms connect employers to candidates based on skills, interests and requirements. Using correlated question-sets directed to both employers and candidates, the platform systematically aligns talent with opportunity and makes accessing the resume a secondary part of the process. The AgriGrowth Job Exchange ensures that employers are connected to the most qualied applicants while candidates get matched to opportunities that best t their unique proles.

“Locating and hiring quality talent is a signicant challenge for many AgriGrowth members and others involved in Minnesota’s agriculture and food sector.

Our core mission is to create and sustain a positive business climate for agriculture and food-system businesses in Minnesota,” said Perry Aasness, Executive Director of AgriGrowth. “Having the opportunity to offer this unique technology along with a centralized entry point for posting jobs in the agriculture and food sector is a logical and benecial role for AgriGrowth to play in promoting the state’s economic growth.”

The Exchange expertly collects and reports on meaningful data analytics regarding employers’ needs, candidates’ career interests, and how they align with real-time market needs and trends. As a job exchange host, AgriGrowth will have access to those reports to better represent the agriculture and food industry in addressing the priority issue of talent attraction.

“We are pleased to provide a resource to our stakeholders that makes the hiring process more efcient and provides a better outcomes for both employers and candidates,” said Aasness. “While new to Minnesota, this proven system is already in use by thousands of employers and tens of thousands of candidates across the country, and is growing rapidly. The Job Exchange, which is powered by the WorkFountain platform, maximizes employers’ ability to reach a large and diverse candidate pool while ensuring equal access to opportunities for all candidates.”

Dairy’s

Star Youth

What dairy or ag-related extracurricular activities are you involved in?

Wisconsin Holstein Association, 4-H, 4-H Dairy Judging, FFA, St. Croix Junior Dairy Board

to be a great speaker, how to be a hard worker, how to help others, and most importantly, I learned more about the dairy cow and how great this industry is.

Why are you involved in these activities/organizations and what is your favorite? To further my knowledge and passion for the dairy industry. With the help of numerous mentors in these programs, I have acquired numerous skills that I will utilize in my future with agriculture. My favorite being 4-H dairy judging because it allows me to learn more about the dairy cow itself, but also utilize speaking and communication skills while being competitive and making friendships.

Who do you look up to and why? I look up to my older sisters. My sisters have taught me everything and made sure I grow up to succeed and mature well. They always have great advice and harsh honesty, and can always make me laugh.

Tell us your best experience during your time in these activities/organizations. My favorite memory is winning my district 4-H dairy judging competition and later placing at State. I worked very hard and set many goals to make it that far.

What’s your favorite social media and why? Instagram. What better way to agvocate than pictures.

What are your career aspirations?

I will be studying ag communications and marketing at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, in hopes of becoming a journalist or another communication job that allows me to work with farms across the state.

What is something you’ve learned from being involved in these activities/organizations? I have learned how

Get to know Eva Doornink of Baldwin, Wis.

Tell us something about yourself that many people don’t know. Usually when people ask me this I tell them I show cows, but in this instance, this probably isn’t much of a surprise.

People don’t know that I can’t roll my tongue like almost every other human can.

Tell us some of your duties on the farm. I typically am on calf duty. When I am at the farm, I and another person feed over 100 calves both mornings and night. All our calves are bottle fed until they’re weaned to water and grain. I also work at cow shows during the year.

I help wash, walk, bed, and feed animals from elite farms across the country. It’s a great opportunity.

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and how would you change it? I would want everyone on the Earth to have at least one nutritious meal a day and to know where that food comes from. How would I do it? We need to start informing people now and create affordable and safe ways to create more product.

WHICH BARN IS BEST FOR YOUR HERD?

Birds just love this barn. The webs in these trusses are easy nest areas for birds. They also restrict air flow which leads to poor ventilation and moisture buildup in the building.

Starwood Rafters Uses Pole Sheds • Free Stalls Riding Arenas Pavilion Shelters Machinery Storage

The arched rafters create a more open barn allowing better ventilation. Also since there are no open webs in the trusses, there are no places for birds to nest.

• Spans up to 72 ft.

• Up to 12’ spacing depending on the load you desire • Bird nesting control • Better ventilation & visability • No feed alley post obstruction • Additional ceiling height

DAIRY CALENDAR

Dairy farmers are invited to Midwest Dairy Association’s Minnesota Division District Meetings which are continuing through April. Twenty meetings are scheduled, each of which will include a report from the dairy farmer board member serving the district, along with an update from staff and a complimentary meal. The full schedule of meetings can be reviewed at MidwestDairy.com/For Farmers.

County American Dairy Association groups may also conduct business in conjunction with the meetings. Several locations will also include Minnesota Milk Producers Association Dairy Management Workshops. Dairy farmers may attend the meeting closest to them, regardless of the district in which they live. No RSVPs are required.

District meetings are a chance for dairy farmers to learn how their checkoff investment is spent and ask questions of the board members they elect to manage the program.

In 2016, Midwest Dairy launched an initiative called Dairy 3 for Me, for which more than 10,000 pledges were made by people who recognized the importance of getting three servings of dairy each day for good health.

The meeting presentation will explain how Dairy 3 for Me applies to the farm families who make those three servings available, how dairy partners are helping to champion the importance of dairy, and how the community and country benets from dairy.

HEAD OF VERY GOOD 62 RED & WHITE and BLACK & WHITE HOLSTEIN CATTLE

NOTE: This is a very good herd of hard to find, farm fresh, high producing Red & White and traditional Black & White Holstein dairy cattle. According to records of milk sold, the herd average is approximately 20,000 pounds milk, 4.1% butter fat and 3.2% protein. 65 pound tank average, no BST. Most recent 12 month average SCC 225,000. Several recently fresh with a large number due near sale time. The cows are very well uddered and have superior feet and legs.

All have had Bovishield Gold with all eligible females Bangs vaccinated.

This will be a set of cows that will work in any facility as they are milked in a free-stall barn and housed in a pack barn. Along with a great set of young cows, we offer a very nice group of bred heifers that are due near sale time and a fancy set of open and younger heifers.

NOTE: This is an outstanding herd of very well uddered, high producing Holstein cattle. This herd was established by Bob’s grandfather in the late 1940’s with Bob’s parents Ken & Dorothy operating the farm until retirement. Bob, Kimberly and their family are the third generation to successfully operate the farm. According to records of milk sold, the herd average is approx. 20,000 pounds of milk, 3.8% butter fat and 3.0% protein. Approx. 65 pound tank average. No BST. Several cows and heifers recently fresh or due near sale time. Most are cows first through third lactation. This herd has been exclusively AI bred since 1965 using Elite High Net Merit and TPI Sires, including but not limited to: Guthrie, Gabor, Gaylord, Cashay and Reuben, among others. An excellent herd health program in place for many years through the Todd Co. Vet Clinic at Clarissa, MN. All have had the Triangle 10 vaccinations, cows have had 4KC Scour Guard, wormed and poured. Hooves trimmed regularly. All eligible females are Bangs vaccinated. Cows are handled in a stall facility and let out regularly ensuring good feet, legs and overall mobility. Along with a great set of cows, we offer a very nice group of bred and open heifers that are all AI sired and out of top Bryniarski dams. If you are in need of top farm fresh, home-raised, exclusively AI bred herd replacements, please mark this date on your calendar and make plans now to attend the Bryniarski herd dispersal. #G23.
