Saying goodbye to a legacy Willows Edge complete dispersal on March 18

By Brittany Olson

brittany.o@dairystar.com

NEW RICHMOND, Wis. – While Henk and Bonnie Van Dyk are counting the days until March 18, they’ll readily admit they aren’t particularly looking forward to the day.

The couple, who own and operate Willows Edge Holsteins south of New Richmond, Wis., are hosting a complete dispersal of their herd, March 18 at 10 a.m.

Their herd of 110 cows, with a BAA of 111.6, is one of the highest-scoring registered Holstein herds in the nation. The farm also boasts 351 homebred Excellent cows over several decades.

“We’ve got 85 cows going into the sale, with blemished and three-quartered cows staying back,” Bonnie said. “Many of the animals go back to Willows-Edge Bolton Flicker, Excellent-94.”

Henk and Bonnie are managing the sale them-

BRITTANY OLSON/DAIRY STAR

Bonnie and Henk Van Dyk, of Willows Edge Holsteins, are hosƟng a complete dispersal sale on March 18. With a breeding-age average (BAA) of 111.6, the Van Dyks’ herd is well known, naƟonally and across the globe, for outstanding type and components.

selves, and admit it’s been stressful trying to put it all together.

“Everything in the sale is an exceptional animal, especially the 2 and 3-year-old cows,” Henk said. “Many of them have ve or six generations of Excellent-scored cows behind them, and they remind us of a group of cows

from years back that went 93 or 94 as older cows.”

Despite selling anywhere from 50 to 70 young cows every couple of years, the herd’s low cull rate and death rate contributed to the cow numbers outgrowing the facilities.

“We’ve got cows that live to be 14 to 18 years old,” Bonnie said. “They’re just

healthy, aggressive cattle.”

Another factor in deciding to host a dispersal was age, particularly Henk, who is several years Bonnie’s senior.

“Henk thinks he’s getting old,” Bonnie said.

Henk nodded, acknowledging that decades of dairying and working off the farm as an attorney have taken

their toll.

“I’m feeling it in my knees and shoulders,” Henk said.

All in all, 185 live lots are hitting the auction block as well as embryos.

While the Willows Edge prex, aptly named after the Willow River that cuts the farm in half, is known nationwide for show-type cattle and high butterfat tests, it was a lot of work for Henk and Bonnie to get where they are now.

“We rst classied in 1979, and Les Terpster was our classier. We had a BAA of 98.3, and he told us to start buying better cows,” Henk said. “Fortunately, bulls like Sexation and Valiant came out shortly afterward and helped get our BAA to a point where it wasn’t embarrassing.”

In fact, it was one of those Sexation daughters, Willows Edge Sexation Piper, who went on to be their rst 94-point homebred cow.

“We use a small battery of bulls to keep it consistent, like Golden Dreams and Atwood,” Bonnie said. “You’ll see a lot of wide rumps and chests on these cows, and they last longer.”

Bonnie Van Dyk goes through one of the many lots up for bidding at the Willows Edge’s complete dispersal on March 18 at their farm near New Richmond, Wis.

cal type traits, one will also notice the Jersey-level components coming from the Van Dyks’ very much-Holstein cows when ipping through the sale catalog.

“We mate cows individually and breed for high type, and we’re cognizant of udders, but we also breed for butterfat. It’s hard to nd sires with high butterfat, but our maternal lines carry it,” Bonnie said. “We’ve got too much milk on the market and 60 million pounds were dumped last year, so milk with butterfat levels over 3.5 percent is more valuable.”

“Some people get attached to their dogs and cats, and we’ve got the cows. I’ll miss going up to them and petting them every day.”

HENK VAN DYK, DAIRY PRODUCER

Their matriarch cow, Bolton Flicker, had a lifetime butterfat of 4.7 and, in her fth lactation, a 4.9 butterfat. Henk fondly recalled another foundation cow, Willows-Edge Linjet Icon, who was scored Excellent-94 with a lifetime butterfat percentage of 5 and, in her sixth and nal lactation, a 5.3 butterfat.

“Just generation after generation of butterfat producers,” Henk said.

Willows-Edge prexed cattle have also done well in the show ring, with numerous ribbons and plaques from fairs, district shows, state shows and World Dairy Expo. Winning the prized premier breeder banner at World Dairy Expo in 2003 is still a highlight for the couple.

“Anyone can buy cows, but breeding them is another step,” Henk said.

“We were told that we were going to win premier breeder, and we said, ‘With two cows? You’re nuts.’ But we

did.”

Bonnie would take an entire string of show cattle to Madison for Expo, while Henk stayed on the farm to get chores done, with tters, chore hands and their two young daughters, Jordan and Claire, in tow.

“In 2007, we took Willows-Edge Lee Velcro as a junior 3-year-old to Madison and Steve Van Doorn, who went on to breed the grand champion Guernsey at Expo some years later, was doing nightline for us,” Bonnie said. “It’s interesting to watch where all of our tters and such go in the industry after their time ends with us.”

Willows Edge has also been credited with bringing grade Holstein herds into the registered fold, as well.

“Our advice to people looking to buy animals was to buy a whole cow family so they know what they’re getting,” Bonnie said.

Life after the sale is a mystery, with many unknowns ahead for the Van Dyks.

“Our daughter, Claire, is a nancial advisor and she keeps saying I have to have a plan,” Henk said.

“Well, my plan right now is not to have to get up at quarter to 4 in the morning.”

With a mostly-empty barn on the horizon, they’ve received inquiries regarding partnership from farmers coming into the industry and looking to ll up a heritage-laden barn with a herd of their own.

Henk and Bonnie were overcome with emotion, and both choked back tears at the thought of saying goodbye to the cows.

“Saying goodbye to the cows is terrible,” Henk said. “You’re there every single day from the moment they’re born. Some people get attached to their dogs and cats, and we’ve got the cows. I’ll miss going up to them and petting them every day.”

Bonnie agreed.

“You’ve got their best care in mind from the day they’re born,” she said. “We know who their mothers and grandmothers are. They’re not a number, but a name.”

Greg Peterson explains how he and his brothers use music parody videos to advocate for agriculture. Peterson, who raises beef caƩle with his family in Assaria, Kan., was the keynote speaker at the Wisconsin Dairy & Beef Well-Being Conference March 3 in Straƞord, Wis.

Peterson details internet fame, key to social media advocacy

By Cassie Olson

cassie.o@dairystar.com

STRATFORD, Wis. – For Greg Peterson, 26, there never was any doubt he would become a farmer. Growing up on their family’s beef operation near Assaria, Kan., Peterson and his siblings, Nathan, 23, Kendal, 20, and Laura, 16, always enjoyed working on the farm and being advocates for agriculture.

During a class at Kansas State University (KSU) in 2012, Peterson sparked an idea which led to The Peterson Farm Brothers, the viral YouTube channel focused on agriculture which has received over 40 million views worldwide. Peterson shared his family’s story of farm advocacy during the Wisconsin Dairy and Beef Well-Being Conference in Stratford, Wis., March 3.

Peterson’s story begins long before he and his siblings took to the internet.

As a child, Peterson noticed that, although it was his family’s livelihood, farming was misunderstood, even in rural Kansas.

“When you think about kids growing up in Kansas, farming is going on all around them,” Peterson said. “I would go to school and kids would say that farming was lame or ask us questions about things on the farm we don’t even think twice of. I began to recognize why explaining farming is important.”

This realization would continue to drive Peterson in the years ahead. He pursued a degree in agricultural communications and journalism at KSU. “I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my degree, I just knew I was passionate,” Peterson said.

During his junior year of college, Peterson attended a lecture about farm advocacy and ways to utilize videos on the internet. While Peterson found the examples educational, he thought they were missing something.

“They were good, well done vid-

eos, but they were not entertaining,” Peterson said. “I started thinking of how a music video could be made to advocate for agriculture.”

While sitting at a Sonic drive-in, a popular song came on the radio, which sent Peterson brainstorming. After getting his two brothers to agree, the lyrics for “I’m Farming and I Grow It,” were created.

The brothers spent three weeks collecting footage for their parody music video. They edited the video together, and on June 25, 2012, the Peterson Farm Brothers’ YouTube channel came to life.

“We thought, at most, we would get 50,000 views on the video. That was our dream, of sorts,” Peterson said.

“We hit 50,000 views in the rst day and a half.”

The video was a viral sensation and within the next two days, the Peterson children were being contacted from local and state media for interviews.

Three days after uploading the video, Peterson said they were contacted by FOX News in New York City asking to conduct an interview.

“We got the call at 11 a.m., and by 11 p.m., we were in Times Square,” Peterson said.

By July 2, just one week after the video’s debut, there were over 5 million views.

“It denitely took some getting used to,” Peterson said. “We went to the Kansas State Fair that year, and I remember people pointing at us saying, ‘Aren’t those guys those rappers?’ Our lives were turned upside down and suddenly we’re internet famous.”

Following the success of their rst video, the brothers returned with their second parody video, “Farmer Style,” at the end of 2012. The video had even greater success than the rst and is currently their most-viewed video with 17 million views to-date.

“After the second video went viral, we knew we had stumbled onto something new. We knew we had the audience of farmers across the country, but we were breaking into cities all over the world, too,” Peterson said.

To date, the Peterson Farm Brothers’ YouTube channel has received a total of 40 million views in 237 countries.

Since getting their start on YouTube, they have expanded their efforts to multiple platforms including Facebook, a blog and countless speaking engagements worldwide.

Peterson said social media is a powerful tool.

“We have the most powerful communication tools we have ever seen.

Phones are tools we all have in our pockets with the ability to reach millions of people,” Peterson said.

Of course, having an online presence comes with some disadvantages.

“It’s certainly a double-edged sword,” Peterson said. “On one hand, we are seeing good things coming from our end, but we also see many people saying negative, untrue, misguided things in response to our videos, as well.”

However, Peterson encourages farmers to consider creating a social media presence. According to him, the key to being successful is knowing who the audience is.

“You have two sides – those who are 100 percent for farmers and those who are 100 percent against them. You probably aren’t going to change anyones’ minds on either of those sides,” Peterson said. “The goal is to engage with those who land somewhere along the fence, and show them the good.”

While advocating on a global platform might not be for everyone, Peterson said there is equal value in starting small within communities.

“The most valuable conversations we have are with those who have followed us for years, and that can happen in your own communities. Be engaged with the consumers closest to you and let the people know who you are,” Peterson said.

Peterson concluded by encouraging those in attendance to take the initiative to advocate.

“Not everyone is going to get millions of views, but other things make just as big of a difference; conversations, farm tours, social and print media – they all have value,” Peterson said.

“There needs to be more voices out there sharing messages.”

The three Ts to transporting animals

Stalsberg prepares farmers for safe, legal hauling

and assuring they are accessible in case of emergency.

“You must be able to access spare tires for both truck and trailer when the trailer is loaded,” Stalsberg said. “Don’t store tires under the trailer nose, but rather in the bed of the pickup or on racks outside of the trailer.”

By Cassie Olson

cassie.o@dairystar.com

STRATFORD, Wis. – Transporting livestock over the road comes with factors to consider. Kory Stalsberg, Grant and Lafayette Counties’ University of Wisconsin-Extension Dairy and Livestock Agriculture Agent, addressed these considerations during his breakout presentation at the Wisconsin Dairy and Beef Well-Being Conference at Equity Livestock in Stratford, Wis., March 3. According to Stalsberg, there are three Ts to remember: Truck, trailer and transportation.

Truck Stalsberg said that, while it may seem like common sense to haul a load in proportion to the size of the towing vehicle, it is necessary to check and follow a truck’s hauling capacity.

“Getting the load moving is not where the problem usually occurs; it is slowing down,” Stalsberg said.

CASSIE OLSON/DAIRY STAR

Kory Stalsberg, UW-Extension Dairy and Livestock Agriculture Agent in Grant and LafayeƩe CounƟes, goes over the inspecƟon points of a trailer during his session on livestock hauling.

While a truck’s model gives a general indication of a truck’s duty rating and towing ability, the body conguration impacts the maximum payload.

“Two-wheel drive has a lighter base vehicle weight, which leads to a higher maximum payload and towing capacity, but may limit your ability to tow in less than ideal conditions,” Stalsberg said.

“Larger and extended cabs have

heavier base body weight which reduces additional payload and towing capacity.”

Just as knowing the truck’s ability to carry weight is important, so is proper tire maintenance. Regular inspection for dry rot and tread depth monitoring are important.

“Replace tires that are worn or old, and make sure they are properly inated at all times,” Stalsberg said. “Use a penny

test to determine the tread depth of your tires: Put a penny in the grooves with Abe head-rst. If you can see the top of his head and hair, you are at less than 2/32-inch and those tires need to be replaced.”

Stalsberg gave a word of caution when storing spare tires, too. Keeping watch over the condition of spare tires is just as important as monitoring those on the truck and trailer,

Trailer First and foremost, consider the type of trailer you are utilizing and how that will correspond to weight distribution.

When using loading bumper trailers, the goal is to have 60 percent of the weight in front of the axle, with approximately 10 to 15 percent of the total weight on the hitch. To do this, Stalsberg said to load large animals at the front of the trailer.

“Not having enough weight on the tongue or towards the front can result in sway and sh tailing while going down the road. This can lead to loss of control,” Stalsberg said.

When using gooseneck trailers, 20 to 25 percent of the load should be on the hitch, with the remainder on the axle.

Additional considerations include hitch and safety chain inspections. The hitch and ball should be appropriately sized and locked into place. Safety chains should be adequately secured to the truck in the event

Turn to TRANSPORTATION | Page 9

Dairy Star - Third Section • Saturday, March 11, 2017 • Page 9

ConƟnued from TRANSPORTATION | Page 8 the hitch were to fail on both gooseneck and bumper trailers.

Stalsberg emphasized the importance of proper door security. A common mistake to avoid is the use of a padlock on livestock trailer doors.

“In emergency situations, you may need to easily and efciently unload livestock,” Stalsberg said. “Hook the safety chain and have the door secured, but accessible, in the event of an accident.”

Stalsberg claried when and where a commercial driver license (CDL) is required.

“A CDL is not required when you are hauling your own animals or if the load you are transporting is over 26,000 pounds but within a 150-mile radius of your place of departure,” Stalsberg said.

“A CDL is required, however, if you are hauling someone else’s animals – even when you are going somewhere like the state fair.”

Transportation When loading cattle into trailers, the rst rule of thumb is to sort the animals appropriately. Cows should be separated from calves to ensure calf safety. Bulls should be separated from each other and from cows and calves.

Next, loading density and weather go hand-in-hand. Animals should be loaded with enough space to easily get up if they were to fall down, but should be loaded less densely in times of extreme heat.

“The best rule of thumb is to begin loading early when it is the coolest part of the day. Especially avoid loading and hauling between 11 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon,” Stalsberg said. “Keep stops as short as possible and make sure they occur at the coolest part of the day, if necessary.”

Hauling cattle in extreme cold should be equally avoided with careful consideration for wind chills.

“If your cattle must be moved in cold, windy conditions, do so as quickly

“Not having enough weight on the tongue or towards the front can result in sway and sh tailing while going down the road.”

KORY STALSBERG, UWǧEXTENSION

and efciently as possible without stopping,” Stalsberg said.

Keeping stress to a minimum during loading, unloading and transport is critical. To do so, Stalsberg suggested setting up the load alley to be narrower than the trailer door to guide the cattle into the trailer.

“Let the cattle determine the ow into the trailer,” Stalsberg said. “Angle

one side of a crowd area to guide them in single le, and sort off just enough to load each compartment at a time.”

When unloading, however, more space is better.

“Cattle are usually in a hurry to get off the trailer. Open the rear door as wide as possible, and have enough area with good footing to allow the cattle to come off as they will,” Stalsberg said.

Finally, avoid any cattle stalling.

Shadows, distractions, poor lighting and slick ooring are all reasons cattle stall and can cause an increase in stress.

“Cattle can only think about one thing at a time,” Stalsberg said. “Being in a hurry always leads to more problems. By keeping your stress levels low, your animals are less stressed as well.”

Investing time prior to transporting livestock pays off in reduced road incidents and livestock injury. Keeping watch over the three Ts of livestock transportation ensures a better experience for not only the cattle in the trailer but the transporter as well.

WHICH BARN IS BEST FOR YOUR HERD?

All breeds gather for annual Minnesota convention PHOTOS BY RUTH KLOSSNER/DAIRY STAR

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.

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.

MORTON, Minn. – Participants at the AllBreeds Convention March 3-4 at Jackpot Junction in Morton, Minn., were treated to an interesting panel discussion. Participants came from a wide range of backgrounds. Ashley Swenson, Sam and Anne Appleby, Arnie and Kris Gruenes, Cory and Kristen Salzl, and John Vander Wal all come from a wide range of backgrounds and were eager to participate in the panel discussion.

After sharing information about their backgrounds and current operations, the panelists answered questions posed by Stephanie Hammerly, who moderated the round table.

When asked to identify people who have helped them along the way or been a mentor, panelists identied family members as being positive inuences with community and fellow breeders also of importance.

Swenson stressed the opportunities her family has offered. Still having two generations of support on the farm, she has been able to buy into the operation.

“I can’t say that we don’t ght, but I can talk to Dad,” Swenson said. “We come to a compromise to move forward. My parents are willing to listen.

There’s a lot of give and take.”

The Applebys have found strong community support in Canada.

“It may be only a sentence, but things impact you,” Sam said. “Farmers and neighbors impact you; someone shows up and gives a hand when you need it.”

While not enough room on the family farm steered Cory Salzl away from dairying, other dairymen, particularly the Schmitz family, were supportive and offered advice.

“People step up to help young farmers,” Kristen said.

For Arnie Gruenes, it goes back to his grandfather who told him that the harder you work, the more you’ll get.

From that, Gruenes developed the philosophy, “Work hard and you’ll be rewarded.” The dairy community has supported Gruenes, especially since he Turn to ROUND TABLE | Page 13

Some of those supporters were in the room; the Schmitzes, Russ and Heather Thyen, and Spencer Hackett.

“It’s been a learning venture, a rewarding venture. You’ll fall down … … it’s how you get up that counts,” Arnie said.

Although John Vander Wal’s father wanted him to buy the neighboring farm in his native Netherlands, John opted to move to Canada to dairy.

“Family has been inuential – parents, my wife, our children – I couldn’t do it without them,” he said.

Before turning to her next question, Hammerly said, “You sure can tell the immense passion these people have for the dairy industry.”

Hammerly then asked participants to address how they deal with PETA and animal welfare issues.

“If the Lord gives me health, I want to do things for people who need more than they have. That’s my goal.”

JOHN VANDER WAL, DAIRY PRODUCER

Unanimously, the panelists stressed the importance of being transparent to the public, allowing them to see how animals are cared for.

“We do tours and invite the community to our farm. We have an open door; we have nothing to hide,” Kris said.

Kristen Salzl said the couple’s new tiestall barn was designed with glass doors and is set up with the idea of inviting the public to see in.

“We need to educate, educate, educate,” she said.

The Applebys designed their robotic set-up and a small bottling plant so people can watch.

“Cows don’t mind people watching them. It helps the community know that we care,” Sam or Anne said.

Being a veterinarian provides Swenson with the opportunity to open the

line of communication.

“My dad told me, ‘As dairy people, we don’t need PETA. But, as dairy people we need PETA to make sure the checks and balances are there to make sure we’re always doing our best,’” she said.

Hammerly asked the group to consider the future. Plans vary, just as the panelists’ ages do.

“The challenge is that you nd there’s a limit. Physically I can’t do the things I used to do. We’re heading into an unknown future.,” Anne said.

To that, Sam said, “We put robots in to give us a few more years. You don’t dream about growing old and what you’ll do when you can’t do it anymore, but I hope to be able to farm for a long time and to win [World Dairy Expo]. We enjoy the journey and enjoy the people.”

The future also includes the involvement of children and grandchildren.

Arnie Gruenes looks at what the family is doing as a journey and a passion.

“When a guy on a farm tour asked me what my goals are, I told him, the sky’s the limit. If we get too big, we’ll either have to cut back or nd more good people that I want to share the journey with. I hope our children take it over, or people become partners so they can continue the journey.”

Likewise, Vander Wal hopes to pass his operation on to his son and son-inlaw who share his interest in dairy.

“If the Lord gives me health, I want to do things for people who need more than they have. That’s my goal,” he said.

The younger panel members are looking to the immediate future. Cory said his short-term goal is to improve the farm and improve grazing for his herd. Long-term, he wants to keep expanding and to buy land.

Swenson said both her family and her husband’s family have recently expanded with robots, while she has purchased a veterinary business.

“We’ll continue to buy my parents out, and we’ll keep the dream alive,” she said.

St. Peter FFA members celebrate organization with a tractor ride to school

By Krista Kuzma

krista.k@dairystar.com

ST. PETER, Minn. – Nick Seitzer’s commute to school took a little longer on Feb. 23. The same drive that normally takes 10 minutes stretched to a half hour.

While many people might have been annoyed at the slower pace, Seitzer soaked it all in and enjoyed the ride with a countryside view while sitting at the wheel of his family’s 6170M John Deere. It was Drive Your Tractor To School Day. Seitzer and seven other members of his FFA chapter drove tractors to their school, St. Peter High School, one day during National FFA Week Feb. 18-25 to celebrate their involvement in the organization.

“We wanted to promote agriculture,” said Seitzer, a junior who helps on his family’s 58-cow dairy that is owned by his parents, Peter and Ann. “St. Peter is an agricultural town. There are lots of farmers here and it’s an important part to the economy in the area.”

Chapter president, Jacob Pehrson, echoed Seitzer’s sentiments.

“Everyone sees elds around here but they don’t see faces behind those elds so it’s good to have faces connected to those elds and to see the farmers,” said Pehrson, who is a junior at St. Peter High School and works on a 50-cow dairy.

The night before, Seitzer and the other tractor-driving students spent time washing and cleaning up their rides before making the trek to school the next morning.

Although only eight students drove their farm’s tractors to school, other members of the 49-student chapter gathered in the parking lot to greet them as they drove in and to be on hand to answer student questions as they arrived.

“I had to OK it with the administration and police department. We decided to get there at 7 a.m. before everyone else got there so we had an empty parking lot to park the tractors in,” Pehrson said.

Since they parked in the main student lot in front of the building, many students saw the equipment as they arrived for class that day.

“We answered questions and talked to anyone who had questions about the tractors, crops or what we do as farmers.

It was fun to see the students get involved and ask questions,” Pehrson said.

The day also coincided with the school’s Snow Week Dress Like A Farmer Day. Along with driving their tractors to school, the FFA members also celebrated the organization throughout the week

with a pancake breakfast, a teacher appreciation day, a school awareness campaign, locker signage and a kickball tournament.

Gena Lilienthal is the advisor for their FFA chapter, South Central Minnesota Agricultural Science Academy, which is based in St. Peter, but open to students in the Le Sueur-Henderson, Cleveland and St. Clair School Districts.

“FFA week is their week to show off and shine,” she said about her students.

“It gives them a little time to not only show off their accomplishments, but a lot of times people don’t realize we have an agriculture education presence in our building and community. Any awareness we can bring to those students that are active in agriculture is good.”

Although this was the rst year for the tractor drive, it wasn’t the rst time it had been discussed.

“They’ve wanted to do this a couple of times but ran into a few glitches,” said Lilienthal, referencing the fact that many of her students who were interested in the past didn’t have their license. “They heard of other chapters doing this and they came to me and said they wanted to do it for FFA week.”

This year there were enough older students to make the day happen.

“It was very student-driven, literally and guratively,” Lilienthal said.

Although other students at the school learned about farming that day, Lilienthal said staff took in new information, too.

“I heard [staff members] say the kids brought in the nice cab tractors for the day, but I think people forget a lot of technology has changed and we weren’t just bringing in the little old tractors. They brought in things they were proud to share. They were beautiful tractors …,” Lilienthal said.

Along with being present with their tractors to teach others about farming, the FFA members took to social media to post pictures and facts.

“It may seem like a simple act, but I think it’s fun how the kids can make simple acts turn into big messages,” Lilienthal said “[Agriculture] is a really big industry that needs a lot of people right now. The kids are aware of that and realize that we need more people in agriculture, especially in our part of the state.”

Seitzer agreed.

“It was a good experience and good publicity for our chapter,” he said.

If that extra education means a day Seitzer can drive his tractor to school, he doesn’t mind at all – even with the extra 20 minutes on his commute.

Dairy’s

Star Youth

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

I am a member of the Viola Victors 4-H club, Dover-Eyota FFA Chapter, Minnesota Junior Holstein Association and the Minnesota Junior Brown Swiss Association.

Why are you involved in these activities/organizations and what is your favorite? Both 4-H and FFA give me a chance to advocate for agriculture at fairs, shows and competitions. FFA also gives me a chance to develop my leadership skills by serving as an ofcer and being a mentor for younger members at the chapter and regional level. The junior Holstein and Brown Swiss associations give me the chance to interact with people from all over the state who are as passionate about dairy cattle as I am. I am currently a Minnesota Brown Swiss Ambassador. FFA is my favorite because of the amazing experiences it has given me and the wonderful people I have met.

Tell us your best experience during your time in these activities/organizations. This past summer, I got the chance to work in the FFA Chapter and Leadership House during the state fair. I got to interact with people who normally don’t get to experience agriculture, tell them my story, and explain why I support farmers. I made friends who made the experiences even more memorable.

What’s your favorite social media?

Either Instagram or Snapchat. Both allow me to express my love of agriculture and important milestones in my

life. It’s also a great way to stay in contact with all the people I’ve met.

What are your career aspirations? I want to pursue a degree in agricultural education and become an agriculture teacher and FFA advisor, as well as own a small farm where I would raise 20 or so dairy cattle for showing that I could lease to 4-H and FFA members.

What is something you’ve learned from being involved in these activities/organizations? That it is OK to fail. Sometimes you don’t get rst in a competition or get an ofce you want, but you can’t give up. You have to keep going until you accomplish your goal, even if it takes more than one try.

Who do you look up to? I look up to Aricka Roberson. She is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. I remember the rst day I met her, and honestly, I don’t know where I would be without her guidance and mentorship. She never gives up on anything, is always helping people, will always send encouragement my way and is happy to help. She taught me it’s OK to fail at things, and that I haven’t failed until I have given up.

Tell us something about yourself that many people don’t know. My friends call me Giggles because I’m always laughing about something.

Tell us some of your duties on the farm. On the farm, I am responsible for feeding the calves until they are weaning age, as well as helping milk.

I also feed and water our show animals

KRISTA KUZMA/DAIRY STAR

Anna Sachs, 16, is a junior at Dover-Eyota High School. She farms with her parents, Charlie and Carrie Saches, near Eyota, Minn., in Olmsted County. during the summer as well as help my younger cousins train, wash and clip their animals.

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and how would you change it? I would change the way people think about agriculture.

I would help them see that farmers love their animals with a passion and treat them the best they can. The only true way we could change this is to educate the public at farm tours, fairs and conferences. The only way we can help the public understand is to show them the care and love we give to our animals.

Hy-Vee Joins Feeding America to Support The Great American Milk Drive Hy-Vee, Inc. announced its commitment to delivering much-needed milk to local food banks in its eight-state region by partnering with Feeding America for The Great American Milk Drive.

Created as a partnership between Feeding America, MilkPEP and the National Dairy Council, the national campaign unites and enables the nation’s food banks, processors, retailers and consumers to ensure milk and its essential nutrients, including high-quality protein, are provided to families who need it most.

Between March 1 and March 14, every Hy-Vee store will offer customers the option to donate the monetary equivalent of either a half gallon or gallon of Hy-Vee brand 1 percent milk when they checkout. The donation amount will vary based on milk prices at each individual store. At the end of the campaign, all donations will be used to purchase physical gallons of milk from processors and then the milk will be distributed to local food banks.

There are more than 5 million food insecure people in Hy-Vee’s eight-state region, and milk is one of the most requested – yet least available – items in food banks across the nation. Food bank clients receive less than one gallon of milk per person, per year. Hy-Vee aims to help change that with this year’s company-wide fundraiser.

“In the past, several of our markets have participated in The Great American Milk Drive and donated more than 120,000 gallons – that’s more than 10 percent of the national total raised among supermarket retailers to date,” said Kevin Sherlock, Hy-Vee’s senior vice president of merchandising/business development.

“We are incredibly proud of that impact, and are excited about how much more we can achieve this year with all 244 Hy-Vee stores participating.”

Each Hy-Vee store is associated with one or more milk processor, and each processor has been paired with Feeding America food banks in local communities across Hy-Vee’s territory. Sponsors for this year’s campaign include Anderson Erickson, Dean Foods, Hiland Dairy Foods, Kellogg’s, Kemps, KraftHeinz and Mondelez.

offering ve, $1,000 scholarships this year. Those interested can nd the application at www.eastcentralselectsires.com. The deadline is June 1, 2017. Scholarships are available for two types of students. Applicants must be presently enrolled in a four-year college or a one- or two-year technical college or short-course program in an agricultural-related eld.

The applicant or their parent(s) must be currently purchasing semen and/or farm products from East Central/Select Sires. Winners will receive notication in July, prior to the ofcial award presentation at the East Central/Select Sires Annual Meeting in August.

Scholarships Available from Iowa State Dairy Association The Iowa State Dairy Association (ISDA) will award 14 $500 college scholarships to those associated with the organization. The scholarships are available to members, or to children or grandchildren of an ISDA member, as well as to employees or the children of employees. The deadline for applications is March 17.

Dairy farmers are invited to Midwest Dairy Association’s Minnesota Division District Meetings beginning Wednesday, Jan. 4, and 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.

For more information, contact Alyssa Olson at 1-877577-0741 or email aolson@midwestdairy.com.

The schedule is as follows: • March 13: American Legion, Millville, 7:30 p.m., District 17: Wabasha (with DHIA).

• March 16: Branding Iron, Preston, 7 p.m., District 22: Fillmore (with DHIA).

The annual meeting of the Northeast Iowa Dairy Foundation will be held on Thursday, March 16, 2017 at Iowa’s Dairy Center in Calmar. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. The events for the day start at 10:30 a.m. and include a presentation from Melissa O’Rourke, ISU Extension & Outreach Farm Management Specialist, discussing managing employer and employee expectations on the dairy farm. Melissa will outline considerations for hiring and getting new employees off to a good start with a goal to better employee motivation and retention. The Farm Babe, Michelle Miller, will also explain her thoughts on how to better communicate the story of agriculture with the general public. Michelle was once a big city girl who moved to rural Iowa for love. Once there, she learned that her original thoughts of modern agriculture were very inaccurate and now enjoys debunking agricultural myths.

She is a Facebook sensation with over 50,000 followers.

The annual meeting will begin after lunch and includes the election of ofcers. In addition, there will be displays from leading dairy industry businesses that support the Dairy Foundation. Current members and anyone interested in learning about the Dairy Foundation are invited to attend; however, an RSVP is requested for lunch. If you have questions about becoming a member, please contact Megan at (563) 534-9957, ext. 107, or email kregelm@nicc. edu.
