A voice for Iowa dairy farmers Hammerand uses princess platform to spread positive message of industry By Andrea Borgerding andrea.b@dairystar.com
SHERRILL, Iowa – Dairy farming is a tradition that runs strong in Julie Hammerand’s family. Knowing the hard work her family has invested into the industry for generations, Hammerand knew she had a personal obligation to be the voice for dairy farmers. Hammerand represented her family and all of Iowa’s dairy farmers since last August when she was crowned the 66th Iowa Dairy Princess. The title gave Hammerand a highly
visible platform in which to share dairy’s message. “I wanted to help be a voice for change within our dairy community especially during this time,” Hammerand said. “Not just during the pandemic but the past ve years have been rough for the dairy industry.” Hammerand, the daughter of Jerry and Lois, grew up on her family’s 150-cow dairy farm, Edgewood View Dairy, near Sherrill.

will be a sophomore this fall majoring in art education at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. In March, the COVID-19 pandemic challenged Hammerand’s dairy princess reign and her quest to reach consumers. “I haven’t been able to have a traditional dairy princess experience due to the
pandemic so that has made this year unique,” Hammerand said. “I have been able to meet with a lot of people virtually and connect with people over Facebook.” Hammerand is grateful for the face-to-face interactions she experienced prior to the pandemic. The National Cattle Congress in Waterloo in September is an event she
recalls as being memorable. “There were so many people there showing cattle, and I was able to talk to them about their farms and families,” Hammerand said. “It was the biggest show that I was able to be a part of and it was really exciting.” Since she was limited in making in-person interactions this spring, Hammerand took to social media to continue advocating for dairy. She read children’s books via Facebook as a learning opportunity for consumers. The posts generated feedback and initiated conversations about dairy farming. “I had one person ask me if we still milked cows by hand,” Hammerand said. Hammerand said she was comfortable with the social media interaction, but it was challenging to keep coming up with creative ways to share information. “I had to think of things that were interactive, that people could respond and comment on,” Hammerand said. “That keeps it a conversation, not just a post, so people could get involved with it.” Hammerand and Faith Palmer, the Iowa Dairy Princess Alternate, participated in a milk toast by posting a video with dairy princesses from across the country on World Milk Day June 1. Hammerand and Palmer also gave out dairy recipe ideas along with dairy facts. They also organized a coloring contest – all done Turn to HAMMERAND | Page 3

Building trust with consumers Palmer promotes dairy industry as Iowa Dairy Princess Alternate By Andrea Borgerding andrea.b@dairystar.com
WAUKON, Iowa – Being crowned an Iowa Dairy Princess has been Faith Palmer’s dream since she was a little girl. Knowing the importance of informing people where their food comes from has been a driving motivation behind Palmer’s quest to be an ambassador for the dairy industry. She has served in that ambassador role for the past year as the 66th Iowa Dairy Princess Alternate since she was crowned last August. “It’s important for consumers to trust farmers and have condence in the way we are producing food,” Palmer said. “Serving as dairy princess has provided me with the opportunity to reach more people and attend more events.” Palmer, 18, grew up on her family’s 120-cow organic dairy near Waukon.

ConƟnued from HAMMERAND | Page 1 virtually. In all of her efforts to reach consumers, Hammerand kept her focus on keeping a clear message to consumers. “We wanted to keep the focus on the dairy farmers – that as a community, they are doing what they love which is milk cows, care for them and provide the world with the nutrition people need,” Hammerand said. As her yearlong reign comes to a close, Hammerand is grateful for her experience and realizes she could not have done her job as Iowa Dairy Princess without the support of her family. “They have been great, especially my sisters,” Hammerand said. Hammerand has two sisters, Jordan White and Jennifer Hammerand. Both played roles in supporting Hammerand while at school and keeping her updated on the family farm while she was away from home. The culmination of Hammerand’s reign PHOTO SUBMITTED as Iowa Dairy Princess would have been the Iowa State Fair where she could have reached Faith Palmer was one of several people who parƟcipated in the virtual potentially thousands of consumers to share the Youth CommunicaƟons Workshop and Dairy Princess OrientaƟon June 3. message of the dairy industry. “We have so much opportunity to make really great “It’s really sad that I didn’t get to do all of things happen, especially through social media, in ways we the things that we normally would,” Hammerand said. Despite her disappointment, Hammerand is hopeful for never have before,” Hammerand said. “There’s a whole world the incoming Iowa Dairy Princess and her opportunity to we can reach if we just put more effort into it and seize the opportunities that are right in front of us.” continue to be the voice for dairy farmers.

nursing home, served ice cream at a local farm store and county fair, and attended the Northeast Iowa Community College drive-thru scavenger hunt. When she could not travel, Palmer kept her presence visible by posting on social media channels including the Iowa Dairy Princess Facebook page. “I have done a few Facebook live events,” Palmer said. “People seemed to really enjoy seeing me outside engaging with the animals.” Interacting with consumers – specically children – is important to Palmer. Although she was limited with her opportunities to meet face-to-face, Palmer cherished every moment she could talk with children. She especially enjoyed seeing them light up when talking about caring for calves. “I have always believed that an effective way to advocate for agriculture is by connecting with young consumers,” Palmer said. “If younger generations incorporate dairy into their diet, they will continue to do so as adults.” Palmer’s ability to listen and then provide answers to questions with every consumer was crucial whether she was visiting in person or doing a social media post. “I felt it important to be able to listen to consumers and bridge the gap between them and dairy farmers,” Palmer said. “This is an important factor in building trust and condence.” Unfortunately, Palmer’s opportunity to reach many consumers during the Iowa State Fair will not happen this year because of the cancellation of the fair due to COVID-19. Despite this missed opportunity, Palmer remains hopeful for future opportunities to showcase Iowa’s agriculture industry. “We have to be optimistic in uncertain times,” Palmer said. With a busy schedule including farming, school and promoting, Palmer said she could not have accomplished so much without the support of her family including her parents and four younger siblings, Ethan, Norah, Naomi and Roslyn. They, along with numerous friends, teachers and community members, have helped Palmer develop her passion for dairy cattle and dairy products in her role as Iowa Dairy Princess Alternate. “I could not have done it without them,” Palmer said. “I am blessed to have people who are willing to help me and push me to do my best.” Whatever the future may bring for Palmer, she plans to incorporate the dairy community in her life and career after graduation. She hopes to return to her family farm after gaining experience elsewhere within the dairy

Amber Engelken, 18
Parents: Scott and Amy Courtney Ridgeway, Iowa Winneshiek County Dairy Promoters Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/or work on, and your future plans. I grew up working on my family’s dairy farm. My parents have owned and operated Courtney Sales for the past 10 years. In May 2017, we had a herd dispersal. My family kept a few cattle back. We own 25 cows that are in our friends’ herds around the state. We also have 18 heifers at our farm. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? My most enduring quality is the respect and passion for taking care of a herd of dairy cows. I witnessed my grandfather and uncle possess this quality and this respect has been instilled in me. I want to be someone who is a voice for all dairy farmers, and for what they do for our small communities and feeding the world. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? Cheese sticks, ice cream and chocolate milk are items we like to consume as a family. Through videos and photos, positive ideas are brought to those around us, especially younger people that I try to mentor. It encourages them to have their parents purchase some of these items they see displayed. The use of media brings a simple and positive way to spread the importance of dairy products. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? These are very concerning times to me because of certain political groups and the lopsided view that they try to possess. This is the biggest concern that all of us need to be aware of. A positive view of the nurturing care and work dairy farmers put into their animals 365 days a year is the voice and representation the dairy industry needs at this time.
Good Luck Brooke!

Parents: Tom and Cherrie Engelken Earlville, Iowa Iowa Holstein Association Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/or work on, and your future plans. I live and work on my family’s dairy farm where we milk around 220 cows. I am involved in day-today chores. I do anything from milking cows, diagnosing, and treating cows to co-managing the breeding program. In addition, I own my own small herd of Holstein and crossbred cattle. I am an active member in the Earlville Clever Clovers 4-H Club and the Maquoketa Valley FFA Chapter. This fall, I’m attending Iowa State University to major in dairy science. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? My passion for dairy runs deep in my veins. My childhood is full of stories from growing up on the farm, and I love sharing them with consumers. I have worked hard to communicate well with people of all ages. I also have a great understanding of the morals and values that are important to many consumers today. I am knowledgeable about the dairy industry. From personal experience and dairy quiz bowl, I have a vast understanding of many aspects of owning a dairy farm. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? COVID-19 has led to the cancellation of many events planned for this summer, but it has led to utilizing other tools to communicate with consumers. The most effective way to communicate is through a virtual platform. Social media has served as a great asset during this pandemic. Sharing short videos is an easy way to teach others about the dairy industry without losing their attention. Using a variety of short videos, posts and live streams can be just as impactful as hosting an event such as Breakfast on the Farm. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? The most important is how hard dairy farmers work to care for their animals while simultaneously protecting the environment. Every day farmer work hard to provide superb care for each animal on their farm from sun up to sun down. Making sure animals are comfortable in their pen, eating a nutritious diet and leaving little to no carbon footprint are all things farmers care about.

Kaylee Gibbs, 18 Parents: Chris and Kerri Gibbs Waterville, Iowa Allamakee County Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/or work on, and your future plans. I graduated from Waukon High School this spring. I live on my family’s dairy farm where we milk around 430 cows. I will be attending Northeast Iowa Community College to study dairy science. My goal is to ďƒžnd a career that ďƒžts me well within the dairy industry. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? I am able to share my story about growing up on a dairy farm. My passion for dairy has given me a wide range of knowledge about the industry and a desire to share my story about dairy. I enjoy connecting with people of all ages and sharing my love for dairy. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? Sharing on social media is a great way of reaching a large audience to highlight the beneďƒžts of dairy products. For example, on World Milk Day, I can share a picture of myself enjoying a glass of milk and talking about all of milk’s nutritional beneďƒžts. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? It is important for consumers to know how well we treat our cows. Animal welfare is a popular topic, and it’s discouraging to know people think we mistreat our cows. That’s far from the truth. Cow comfort is important on our farm. Cows that are well cared for will have better milk production and overall health.
Parents: Todd and Karen Gronau Durango, Iowa Dubuque County Dairy Association Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/ or work on, and your future plans. This fall, I will be a senior year at Loras College, where I study biology on the track of agriculture. Post-graduation, I hope to continue to work in the dairy industry and further my knowledge by learning more of this industry. I am employed at Breezy Ridge Dairy Farm in Epworth, Iowa, where we milk 170 cows and farm 260 acres. I grew up in 4-H and have shown dairy cattle at the Dubuque County Fair since I started school. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? My strengths of being personable, communicative and well-spoken are what will help me in this role. Being personable helps me easily connect with people and teach them while I also learn from them. Being communicative and well-spoken will help me connect with many people and create the best experience. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? My ideas to promote dairy products during the current pandemic are to do virtual or drive-thru farm tours as well as virtual tours of processing and bottling plants. Through this, many people are able to see the operations and learn about the dairy industry while staying safe. Another way to promote would be to use grocery store promotions. There are many people who use social media today. Another idea would be to post facts and recipes for others to see and share. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? One of the most important messages about the dairy industry is bridging the gap between what consumers perceive about the industry compared to the reality of it. A lot of people do not fully understand everything that goes on behind the scenes until they actually get a glimpse of it. Through the ways of promoting dairy products that I mentioned earlier, the gap can be lessened. It is important to teach and educate our consumers on why we do what we do. Many things that are portrayed in our society are not always correct and stray from the original message.

Meghan Hettinga, 20 Parents: Jason and Mary Hettinga Orange City, Iowa Iowa Jersey Cattle Club Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/or work on, and your future plans. I attend South Dakota State University, where I will be a junior majoring in dairy production with a minor in communications. I grew up on my family’s 150-cow Jersey dairy farm near Orange City. This summer, I was a dairy production intern at Campbell Dairy for Riverview, LLP in Minnesota. At SDSU, I am an active dairy club member, CAFES Ambassador, and on the leadership team for Oasis campus ministries. After graduation I hope to nd a job in dairy communications. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? Throughout high school and college, I have been involved in a wide variety of activities – sports, music, FCA, FFA and other agriculture organizations. This let me interact with people and let me gain new perspectives. Especially in college, I have met people with varying views on agriculture and the dairy industry. Being able to relate to the person I am talking to, before trying to share my opinion with them, has been so benecial in those circumstances. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? Baking and cooking has become a popular way to pass the time while people are quarantined. Along with encouraging consumers to use dairy products for ingredients, it would be fun to share simple recipes or how-to videos on how to make some of their favorite dairy products at home. Along with the recipe, I would share more information about how the milk is processed in manufacturing plants. There are some misconceptions about what is in the dairy products on the shelves in grocery stores. Sharing research-based information could help spread awareness of the nutritional value all dairy products have. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? As an industry, we need to be transparent with everything we do. There is a specic reason behind every practice or procedure we do on our farms, and we should be able to explain them easily to the average consumer. If we can share the how and why we do things, it might help ease some of the misconceptions the general public has about the dairy industry.
Raegan Kime, 17 Parents: Dann and Annette Kime Waucoma, Iowa Iowa Guernsey Breeders Association Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/or work on, and your future plans. I will be a senior at Turkey Valley High School in Waucoma. I am the FFA chapter president and Northeast District Vice President. I also enjoy volleyball, golf, cheerleading, drama, student government and 4-H. I am an active member in the national and Iowa Guernsey and Holstein associations. Over the summer, I attend county, state and national dairy shows showcasing my Guernsey cattle. Our family farm in northeast Iowa is home to 60 registered Guernsey cows and heifers. I plan to attend Iowa State University and major in ag studies/international ag with a minor in ag marketing. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? I love to meet and talk to new people about amazing dairy products and share my personal story. I enjoy public speaking and nd that it will be helpful to advocate for our industry. I am approachable so meeting consumers is easy as they are willing to strike up conversation with me. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? During the pandemic, many people have been looking to social media to stay entertained. As more and more people turn to their phones, we as producers would be targeting apps like Facebook and Instagram, and create fun ads prompting dairy products. Over the past months, I’ve seen multiple dairy farms creating short information videos promoting the dairy industry and why it is important. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? Milk is one of the safest products to drink. Many people today are lacking the knowledge of how the milk is processed and sent to the store. Consumers are more likely to drink the product if they know how it got to them. I believe that by promoting the precautions dairy producers take to ensure milk quality and how dairy producers, like myself, care for our animals in the best way possible, we can make a difference and increase consumption.
Best wishes Raegan!

Megan Kueker, 18 Parents: Gary and Karol Kueker West Union, Iowa Fayette County Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/or work on, and your future plans. I grew up on a dairy farm north of West Union. My family sold our cows a few years back, but I chose to stay involved in the industry by working on a farm a few miles down the road. I have also been buying and selling heifer and bull calves for a couple years. Being raised on the farm and my involvement in 4-H and FFA have persuaded me to pursue a career in agricultural education. My future plans are to attend Northeast Iowa Community College to receive an associate degree and then transfer to Iowa State University to major in agriculture education. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? Speaking to others and being organized. By being involved in 4-H, FFA and serving as the Fayette County Dairy Princess, I have grown my public speaking skills and found a variety of ways to speak to people who come from all backgrounds. These previous experiences have led me to become a good communicator. Being organized is a great method to making sure I am staying on top of any events or completing any tasks that need to be done. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? While we might not be able to do as many promotional events, there are ways to support or promote the industry, one being social media. Social media has continued to become a large portion of our lives, but it is something to take advantage of by promoting dairy products through social networks such as Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram or Twitter. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? Dairy products are a great and nutritious product that help consumers. Dairy farmers work hard to produce a wholesome and nutritious product every day. While there are misconceptions, those who consume these products are reaping the beneďƒžts of the nine essential nutrients that dairy products contain. I made it a priority as the Fayette County Dairy Princess to spread awareness and factual information to consumers. This helps rebuild trust with consumers and increase the amount of dairy products being sold.

Abby Klostermann, 18 Parents: Chris and Michelle Klostermann Dyersville, Iowa Delaware County Tell us about yourself, the farm you live and/or work on, and your future plans. I graduated from Beckman Catholic High School where I was involved in activities such as FFA, speech and drama. I live on a 100-cow dairy farm where we grow corn, soybean and alfalfa. We raise our replacement heifers and ďƒžnish out the steers. This fall, I will attend Iowa State University to major in architecture. What qualities do you possess that would make you a good Iowa Dairy Princess? Some qualities I possess that would make me a good dairy princess are my communication skills, good work ethic, ambition, and my dedication to promoting the natural, healthy beneďƒžts of real dairy. What ideas do you have to promote dairy products during the COVID-19 pandemic? More promotions at grocery stores to buy more of a variety of dairy like butter, cheese and yogurt. We want consumers to purchase a variety of dairy products to increase demand in all aspects of our industry, especially with the decline of demand from other buyers like restaurants and schools. In your opinion, what is the most important message about the dairy industry that should be shared with consumers today? The ďƒžght against alternative products.
