Mary Jean Hunter of Sioux County goes extra mile for kids, youth program 'PASSION'
Troy Renwick Agency
I was born in 1978 and raised in Neche by my parents, Philip and Linda, alongside my two older sisters (Roxane and Stacy). I graduated from Neche High School in 1997. After working on the farm and other odd jobs, I decided to try city life and moved to Bismarck in 2008, where I started my career in health insurance.
This is also where I met my wife, Amanda, and her children, Lucas, Hailey, and Madelyn. We have been a family for 12 years and were recently married in September. We moved to Lincoln four years ago which we, along with two very spoiled dogs, Jax and Cash, call home.
I've been an an agent for 12 years, and I am starting my seventh year with Farmers Union. I really enjoy working for Farmers Union. We have a great team with District 5, where many of us have worked together for years and become friends. I work with great agents in several other districts, who have given me the opportunity to meet and help the wonderful members of
their communities. Personally, the most rewarding part of being an agent is meeting with so many individuals, each with a unique situation and story, and having the tools to help them. Health Insurance is a very personal product, and as an agent with Farmers Union, I am grateful for the trust our clients put in us, knowing we are here to do what's best for them, not us.

Evolution Ag Summit features focus on renewable fuels markets
BY CHRIS AARHUS, NDFU
Sustainability continues to be a hot topic in agriculture, and Gevo’s purchase of Red Trail Energy Assets will likely provide a market for farmers committed to sustainable practices.
That topic and more will be discussed during the third annual Evolution Ag Summit, set for Feb. 18 at the NDFU Conference Center in Jamestown. This year’s theme is Fuels of the Future.
Ron Zink of Gevo is part of a panel discussion, “From Farm to Fuel: Industry Perspectives,” in which industry experts will discuss how they’re trying to capture incentives created by public policy and consumer demand, and how shifting procurement strategies may create new opportunities for farmers.
Gevo’s purchase of Red Trail Energy Assets — including an ethanol plant in Richardton
— expands its platform for sustainable aviation fuel, hydrocarbons and chemicals. Zink said he’s hoping to have a good discussion with industry professionals and producers.
“There’s a lot to talk about,” he said. “We want to talk to farmers about what their experience could be and what it looks like, and learn what their questions might be. But we also want to talk to processors on the biofuels side, because there’s probably a lot of knowledge there on what’s happening.”
Officially, Zink is chief operating officer of Verity, a subsidiary of Gevo. Verity’s goal is to successfully measure, report and verify carbon practices to maximize the value of environmental business systems. In short, Verity can help local companies make sure their producers’ sustainable practices are working.
“We actually have software sitting at the plant for some customers,” Zink said. “We’re helping

them have a more data driven or operational view of their plant, and to know what levers they can pull to lower their carbon intensity score, and then providing more real time values to that.
According to its website, Gevo’s mission is to “convert renewable energy and biogenic carbon into sustainable fuels and chemicals with a net zero or better carbon footprint.” Zink said their goal is to make sure farmers can participate in a voluntary market that doesn’t tie them down with long contracts. And, it includes
early-adopters.
“If you’re doing great things already, you can participate,“ he said.
The Evolution Ag Summit will be keynoted by the Peterson Farm Brothers, a popular Kansas farm family of three brothers who make entertaining and educational social media videos about agriculture.
Other sessions include carbon intensity and farm profits, a renewable fuels policy update, the economics of low-carbon fuels and a producer perspectives panel. The cost of the event is $30. To register, visit ndfu.org/evolutionag.

County donates $20k to fire depts.
BY CHRIS AARHUS, NDFU
The Dickey County Farmers Union board makes a point to make sure they’re giving back to the community. Its latest contribution will make a big difference.
At their convention last fall, the county voted to make a $20,000 donation to be spread across six fire departments: Ashley, Ellendale, Forbes, Fullerton and Oakes, as well as Frederick, S.D.
“We’ve done this stuff before, but I’m not sure we’ve donated this much,” said Dickey County Farmers Union President Pete Kronberg. “Whenever local organizations need money and they ask us, we try to help. Generally, we give to any (community) that patronizes our coop. In this case, we get a lot of people from the Frederick area.”
Kronberg gave credit to Farmers Union Oil
“Our co-op has done really well,” Kronberg said. “We watch our expenditures, so we’re able to do some fun agriculture educational stuff. We’ve given money when the food pantries were struggling.”
In this case, another very worthy cause, considering how tight fire department budgets typically are.
“Whether it’s a fire department or ambulance or people in town need help from a food pantry, it’s important that it gets taken care of so we have people who can patronize the community.”
Kronberg said Dickey County Farmers Union will again be looking to donate money next year, and that suggestions from the community are welcome.
“Find a board member and visit with them,” Kronberg said. “If you have anything that’s

POLICY HOPPER
FROM NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS UNION
NDFU pushing for property tax relief for producers
On Jan. 14, NDFU testified on House Bill No. 1176, a property tax relief and reform package that has the support of legislative leadership and Gov. Kelly Armstrong. NDFU supports the bill, but the organization expressed some concerns about the proposal. Chief among those concerns is that it does not provide relief on agricultural land. This article will provide an overview of HB 1176, break down property tax collections by property class, and explore the case for tax relief on agricultural land.
HB 1176 OVERVIEW
HB 1176 would provide up to $1,550 in direct relief for homeowners in the state. One
thousand dollars of that relief will come from the general fund and another $550 in Legacy Fund earnings. Over time, the Legacy Fund earnings stream will grow, increasing the credit to an estimated $5,241 by the 2037-39 biennium.
The second core component of HB 1176 is an annual three percent cap on property taxes levied by a political subdivision. If a political subdivision does not increase property tax collections by three percent in a given year, they may roll over the remaining authority for up to five years. For example, if a political subdivision increases collections by 2% in 2026, they may increase their levy by 4% in
1
FIGURE
2027. The legislation also allows voters to override the cap on an annual basis.
PROPERTY TAX COLLECTIONS BY PROPERTY CLASS
In 2024, total property tax collections in North Dakota were $1.6 billion. Residential properties accounted for 38% of property taxes, commercial accounted for 38% and agricultural property contributed 16% (see Figure 1).
Over the last 10 years, property tax collections have increased by roughly 5.3% annually. Property tax collections have increased for all classes over the 10-year period. Commercial and residential properties have experienced 65% and 72% growth, respectively. While less of an increase than other classes, collections on agricultural land have increased by a still significant 28% (see Figure 2).
TAX RELIEF FOR AG PROPERTY
North Dakotans pay an average of $1,611 in property taxes. The state’s per capita property tax burden ranks 31st nationally. While the state’s property tax burden is not necessarily high, taxpayers are clearly frustrated by that growing burden. Gov. Armstrong and the state legislature are clearly motivated to respond to voters’ desire for property tax relief and reform. NDFU believes it is important that the relief is equitably distributed.
Farmers and ranchers pay a disproportionately high share of property taxes on a per capita basis. North Dakota is home to
roughly 44,000 farmers. Thus, farmers make up 6% of the population but contribute 16% of the state’s property taxes. The average farmer has a property tax liability of $5,910 (see Figure 3).
HB 1176 creates a path to eliminating the property tax liability for many taxpayers, but it does not provide relief for farmers and ranchers. In the future, when communities consider whether to override the cap on a political subdivision’s budget increase, many voters will have no tax liability. Farmers, on the other hand, will feel the full consequences of that increase.
CONCLUSION
NDFU members declared property tax relief and reform the organization’s top priority this legislative session. While we support boosting the Primary Residence Credit, we believe broad-based relief is the most sustainable approach. We will continue to work with legislators to provide equitable relief for our state’s farmers and ranchers.

DEDICATED TO YOUTH
Sioux County EPIC coach Mary Jean Hunter still passionate about going the extra mile for kids
Mary Jean Hunter wants her youth to take home real-world skills from their EPIC classes.
The Sioux County Farmers Union youth education leader sees it as more than an opportunity to talk about agriculture and cooperatives. It's a way to to teach kids a skill they can use immediately, like how to cook.
“We’ve done it where they all had to make their own lunch,” said Mary Jean, who resides with her husband Tom on their ranch near Solen. “We’ve cooked spaghetti and tacos, and made different kinds of chili this past year. I just think the kids should know how to do basic cooking.”
Each year, the Union Farmer highlights a Farmers Union youth leader making a positive difference with youth in their community. Sioux County Farmers Union President Pat Becker said Mary Jean fits the bill.

Chris Aarhus, NDFU Editor

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
“I don’t think we could find a better person — she’s really dedicated to these kids down here,” Becker said. “With some of the kids down here, Farmers Union is still a new experience for them. She really works with them.”
With grown kids out of the house and numerous grandchildren, Mary Jean fills her days educating youth and taking care of animals including her Scottish Highland cows. The former NDSU Extension nutrition educator has maintained her commitment to young people well into her “retirement.” Her dedication stems from her desire to be a teacher.
“That was my goal in high school, but I never finished college,” said Mary Jean, who grew up in Montana, where she eventually married Tom while working as a paraeducator in special education. “I always wanted to be a teacher, so I’ve always done something with kids.”
A former Special Olympics coach, Mary Jean
has taken on a variety of roles to stay engaged with children. As Sioux County Farmers Union’s EPIC coach, she’s able to combine her love of youth education with agriculture the past 10plus years.
“I had been invited to the (Sioux County Farmers Union) meetings, and they didn’t have a youth director and they said they need one,” she said. “I was familiar with the kids (in the county), so I said sure and that’s where I’ve been ever since.”
She’s brought in outside speakers to talk about agriculture and taken kids on field trips. Last year, Mary Jean taught her students about chemistry and food.
“We talked why yeast rises, and we made breadsticks,” she said. “We made volcanoes and when you have a coal garden, how to make it grow. So we did a lot of things where chemistry is involved.”
For the food aspect of it, the kids not only make their lunch, they take home recipes, too.
“I give them simple ideas of things they can make, whether it comes from (farm fresh) commodities or you buy it at the store,” she said. “Just basic ideas of things they can take home and make.”
Her commitment to making sure her kids get a genuine Farmers Union experience includes picking up and dropping kids off at their homes and even driving kids to camp. She joined Leonna Owens for the Torchbearer ceremony at the NDFU state convention in December. Owens is the first Torchbearer from Sioux County in 23 years.
“She looks at these kids like they’re her own kids — she genuinely cares for every child,” Becker said. “She wants them to succeed and get involved.”
In addition to her work as an EPIC coach, she also helped start Sioux County Farm and Ranch Day, which came from her noticing that Bismarck-Mandan hosts a farm and ranch day.
“I thought, why can’t we do that down
here,” she said. “Our principal at the school (in Selfridge) was very supportive. He said we could use the school. Last year, we had 17 (interactive exhibits/booths), and we often have about 200 kids come through. For Sioux County (Farmers Union), we did a booth with the Farmer’s Share, where the kids had to match up the food with the amount of money they thought it would cost.”
She advocates for all of her kids to take in new experiences, like going to Farmers Union camp. Sioux County Farmers Union often covers the cost.
“We do scholarships for the kids, and if they don’t need them, that’s great,” she said. “But for some of them, it’s necessary. Otherwise, they wouldn’t get to go.”
At 77, Mary Jean isn’t sure how long she’ll continue to be so involved, but she’s sure she’ll never pull away completely.
“I still have a passion for the kids because they’re like my kids,” Mary Jean said. “I enjoy it.”

EPIC coach superstars!
Sam Franke, Eddy-Foster County
Working with kids is a beautiful reminder that joy is a choice. I get to watch kids work through issues with all sorts of different outlooks. The ones who choose to be joyful, generally come to a more timely and creative resolution. Kids need us. They need care and guidance. We need them just as much. We need them to remind us of all the important things we’ve forgotten in the seriousness of adulthood. Like the importance of choosing joy.
Nancy Nadvornik, Hettinger County
I like to work with children and set an example for them. They follow your lead. Communicating and helping others, being kind and having respect for young and old. We are one big family.
Each child is special in their own way. We are proud of them. They are our future. They will be taking care of us one day. Treat each child as you would want to be treated.
Jodi Obert, Mountrail County
My job as a teacher, EPIC coach and previously as a daycare provider has shown me that positive relationships with youth shape the adult that children are working toward becoming. Seeing how much you can nurture and shape the future leaders of our country is inspiring. Teaching children the importance of community service, caring for others, and thinking for themselves helps to guide our children into becoming productive adults.
Thank you to all of our wonderful EPIC coaches and educators!

$21B approved to assist producers
At North Dakota Farmers Union (NDFU), we believe a strong farm safety net is critical to protecting family farmers from sustained price declines as well as market and weather volatility. Over the last several years, the existing farm safety net has proven inadequate in the face of market disruptions. We remain steadfast in our work to get producers a new Farm Bill that addresses these problems.
Last month, Congress approved the American Relief Act (ARA), which continues government funding, extends the Farm Bill for one year, and provides disaster and economic aid to producers.
The bill provides $21 billion to assist farmers and ranchers impacted by natural disasters in 2023 and 2024. Payments will likely be provided to farmers in a format like the WHIP+ program. WHIP+ provided payments based on a producer’s crop insurance coverage level. Included in the $21 billion for disaster assistance is $2 billion for livestock losses due to drought, flood and wildfires.
The continuing resolution also includes $10 billion for economic aid to producers. The aid will be provided based on the formula included in the FARM Act. Disaster payments will be based on the difference between national
improving disaster protection.
High input costs are one of the biggest challenges facing family farmers and ranchers. Since existing reference prices were established in 2014, the average cost of production for corn, soybeans and wheat has increased by 15% to 20%. Reference prices should be updated to reflect increases in input costs.
The 2018 Farm Bill took an important step forward by allowing farmers to update their farm program election annually. However, market and weather volatility make it challenging for farmers to choose between Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC). A “dual enrollment option” would address this issue by giving
supplemental coverage options to provide more adequate protection from natural disasters.
The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) and Livestock Forage Program (LFP) have provided important relief to North Dakota ranchers during the last few years. However, LFP and LIP do not accurately reflect the value of forage and livestock losses. NDFU encourages Congress to include the Livestock Disaster Relief Act in the Farm Bill to ensure LFP payments reflect the true value of forage and feed losses, and permanently eliminate the category for calves under 250 pounds for LIP payments.
To learn more about the work we’re doing for family farmers, sign up for our legislative e-newsletter at ndfu.org.

Founding Farmers Wins Best Brunch
Farmer-owned Founding Farmers in Potomac, Md., has once again been named "Best Brunch" in Bethesda Magazine's Best of Bethesda Readers' Poll. Their scratch-made, thoughtfully sourced approach and philosophy continues to strongly resonate with the Washington, D.C., suburban communities. The Potomac neighborhood and larger Montgomery County area have made this special restaurant their go-to destination for weekend brunch and beyond. Repeatedly winning this award, voted on by the public, is a testament to the impact Founding Farmers has made in their community since opening its doors in 2011.
The recent Bethesda Magazine win is not the first for these popular, local eateries. In addition
to consistent community awards over the years, Founding Farmers was included in one of the 100 best brunches in America by Forbes and OpenTable. They offer both a la carte and a decadent Farmers Market Buffet Brunch, depending on location.
This year, Montgomery County’s Founding Farmers was also recognized as a finalist in multiple categories, including best Outdoor Dining, Restaurant in Potomac, Cocktails and Zero-Proof Drinks, Dessert Menu, and Business Lunch Spot. The guest-driven win and finalist nominations are a tribute to their farmer-owned ethos and the hard-working team members who make every dining experience delicious and memorable.
