I was born and raised in Mandan. After high school, I attended Kansas City Kansas Community College, and the University of Mary, where I played baseball while getting a bachelors degree in accounting along with an MBA. My wife Callie and I got married in 2017 and have two kids: son Grady (3) and daughter Presley (1). When we’re not wrangling those two, I love to hunt, fish, camp and play golf. In total, I’ve worked in insurance for about 11.5 years, with 10 of those being an agent with Farmers Union after I took over an agency in Bismarck back in 2015.
The thing I love about my job is no two days are ever alike, and the days never go slow. It’s also great to know we’re helping people in times of need, and being that person they can come to for help or advice is very meaningful. I also enjoy getting to know customers from all walks of life, and hearing their life stories.

POLICY HOPPER
FROM NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS UNION
A look at OBBBA tax changes
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Congress passed and the president signed on July 4 introduces significant tax provisions and entity treatments that could affect farm operations. Much attention has focused on the permanent extension of the Section 199A Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction and the permanent increase in the estate tax exemption to $15 million per person. Beyond those headline items, producers may benefit from a range of other changes contained in OBBBA.
BUSINESS AND RURAL TAX PROVISIONS
Section 179 expensing and bonus depreciation
The act raises the U.S. tax code Section 179 expensing limit to $2.5 million, with a new phaseout threshold of $4 million. It also restores 100% bonus depreciation for certain properties, reversing the scheduled phaseout that would have ended the incentive after 2027. These provisions allow businesses to immediately deduct the cost of qualified assets in the year they are placed in service rather than waiting for depreciation to run its course.1
Capital gains taxes
The legislation creates a new election for individuals or entities selling farmland to a qualified farmer. Under this option, sellers may pay capital gains taxes in four equal installments instead of a single lump sum. To qualify, the property must have been farmed or leased to a qualified farmer for at least 10 years before the sale. In addition, the land must remain restricted to farming purposes for 10 years following the transfer.2
1099-MISC, 1099-NEC changes
The act raises the reporting threshold for 1099-MISC and 1099-NEC filings from $600 to $2,000 per payee, effective in 2026. This change reduces the reporting burden on businesses and eliminates filings for small-scale payments that previously triggered paperwork requirements.
Exclusion of interest on certain ag loans
The legislation permits qualified lenders to exclude from gross income 25 percent of interest income derived from loans secured by agricultural and related property.3 Eligible loans include those tied to:
• Domestic real property used substantially for agricultural production.
• Any loan secured by rural agricultural real estate or a leasehold mortgage on rural agricultural real estate.
• Aquaculture facilities and real property used for fishing or seafood processing.
This tax provision aims to encourage lending to agriculture and seafood business by providing an incentive to qualified financial institutions.
INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY PROVISIONS4
Temporary deduction for seniors
For tax years 2025 through 2028, taxpayers aged 65 and older qualify for an additional $6,000 deduction. Married couples may each claim the deduction. The benefit phases out for single filers with incomes above $75,000 and for joint filers with incomes above $150,000.
Expanded child tax credit
Beginning in 2025, the child tax credit increases to $2,200 per qualifying child. The act makes permanent the $1,400 refundable portion of the credit, indexed for inflation. It also permanently maintains the $500 nonrefundable credit for dependents who do not qualify for the child credit, such as children over age 16.
Standard deduction
The legislation permanently expands the standard deduction beginning in 2025. The new baseline will increase $750 to $15,750 for individuals and $1,500 to $31,500 for couples, adjusted annually for inflation.
National Farmers Union 2025 LEGISLATIVE FLY-IN
Sept.
8-10, 2025 • Washington,
D.C.
Farmers Union members will hear from U.S. Department of Agriculture officials about initiatives the department is undertaking on behalf of farmers. Participants will also receive briefings from key Congressional leaders including North Dakota's delegation, especially related to the 2025 Farm Bill.
In total, the participants — across all of the Farmers Union state divisions — will visit all 535 Congressional offices over the three-day period.
CHANGES IN PAYMENT LIMITATIONS
The act makes notable changes to farm program payment limits. It expands eligibility for farm safety net payments to shareholders of pass-through entities, including S corporations and limited liability companies. Each shareholder can now receive separate payments, widening the pool of eligible recipients. In addition, individual payment limits for Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) rise from $125,000 to $155,000.
These changes could significantly increase the amount of federal support available to farm operations with multiple owners or partners.5
SOURCES
CONCLUSION
The Big Beautiful Bill Act is far-reaching, and agriculture producers will want to continue to monitor its provisions as guidance and interpretations emerge. The law contains opportunities for farm businesses, individuals, and families, from expanded expensing rules to increased credits and deductions. Producers should review their tax situation with a qualified professional to identify provisions that may reduce tax burdens or create new opportunities. Careful attention to the details of the tax and payment changes in the OBBBA can help ensure farm families capture the full benefits available under the new law.

'Not worried about the weather anymore'
With $15k donation from Ramsey County Farmers Union, Ramsey County Fair Board completes dream of new indoor rodeo facility
BY CHRIS AARHUS, NDFU
Alvina Ebensteiner and the Ramsey County Fair Board have long hoped for a solution to their weather woes with outdoor rodeos, as well as an indoor space for regional events.
After a 15-month campaign, they’ve realized their dream. The Western State Bank Event Center on the Ramsey County Fairgrounds is open for business, providing both indoor and outdoor space for rodeos, meetings rooms, a full kitchen and more.
“It was built to be used by lots of different people — to support the community,” she said. “We’ve not had a place like this where we could have community events.”
Ramsey County Farmers Union gave $15,000 to the project, which cost around $3.6 million. The sponsorship secured naming rights to one of the meeting rooms.
“Community-minded organizations like ourselves, if we have the capability, then we should do it,” said Ramsey County Farmers Union president Adam Leiphon. “This facility
will be used by our youth, including 4-H kids. Many of those kids are also Farmers Union members. It made a lot of sense for us.”
Connie Hanson serves on both the fair board and Farmers Union board. She said the project is a good use of their educational funds.
“It’s something that would be really great for the community,” she said.
Previously, the fair board utilized an outdoor arena on the other side of the airport, Ebensteiner said. Fifteen years ago, the arena was moved to the current site, and the construction of the 4-H Hall ensued. However, she said they were always at the mercy of Mother Nature.
“We’ve had problems with being rained out in our arena, and it’s kind of been a dream of the fair board for 30 years to build a facility like this where we could host bigger events, and have livestock shows, horse shows, rodeos, roping events and things like that. Plus, we can open it

The Western State Bank Event Center will be used for rodeos year-round, with the bleachers holding 1,300 people.

up for other events in the community to come out and enjoy.”
It started with a giant step forward. The Ramsey County Commission provided a milliondollar grant for the new facility. Fundraising continues and naming rights for a few places inside the facility are still available, board member Beth Black said.
The facility has lots of possibilities, board member Paul Becker said.
“We’ve had interest from trade shows,” he said. “Even before we completed the building, they showed interest. I would also think like auction sales and that kind of event would happen, too.”
Having a facility that can be used year-round for rodeo will save on a lot of labor, said Devils Lake Rodeo Club President Brandon Padilla. Previously, dirt had to be hauled in for each rodeo at the Quentin Burdick Sports Arena,
which is the region’s hockey complex.
“We would have to convert that into a rodeo arena, which was a lot of work,” Padilla said. “It’s something that we’ve been longing for since we started the rodeo back up four years ago. We’re excited to have this space. We’re thankful we won’t have to worry about the dirt. The contestants are looking forward to having a place where they can warm up, too. They can warm up (in the outdoor arena), and then come in here and run their events.”
Ebensteiner said the facility will help with some of the bad luck they’ve had over the years with Ramsey County Achievement Days in late June, an event that showcases the work of 4-H youth. The facility was open for the event this year.
“We’ve gotten rained out of our horse show and had to reschedule it for different days,” she said. “This year, we were all happy. We’re not worried about what the weather does anymore.”
This flower bed sits at the base of a flag pole on the site's grounds. It was donated by the local chapters of the VFW and the Disabled American Veterans.

CAPACITY ON TAP CAPACITY ON TAP
In 2021, the Stober and Kessel families had a thriving malting business bursting at the seams. Four years later, with an investment from Farmers Union, Two Track Malting's new site has nearly six times the capacity.

For any business, the decision to expand isn’t made lightly. And with demand outpacing production, the owners of Two Track Malting near Lincoln had come to a crossroads.
“It was around 2021, and we were selling more malt than we could produce,” said CEO Jared Stober. “That’s when we started thinking, OK, what are our next steps?”
The Stober and Kessel families — co-owners of the business — took the leap, building a new facility near Menoken. The new facility — which had its grand opening in late May — expands their production capacity from 700,000 pounds of malt to 4 million with the possibility of expansion up to 20 million.
“The facility allows us to play the game like the big guys do,” Jared said. “It has the methods and procedures, and the technology that we just didn’t have in the past.”
The facility was built with the help of an investment from Farmers Union Enterprises, a business entity comprised of five Farmers Union state divisions: North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and Wisconsin. Two Track co-owner Greg Kessel, a longtime
Farmers Union member, reached out to North Dakota Farmers Union.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better partner,” said Kessel, who had worked with Farmers Union as a grower for Dakota Pride Cooperative. “They’ve been fantastic partners.”
Two Track Malting is co-owned by the Stober family of Goodrich, where father John and sons Donovan and Jared run their sixth-generation farm. Kessel and his Arrow K Farms operate near Belfield, with both families contributing grain to the facility.
The new facility features large upgrades in automation and technology, including the world’s first RimoMalt modular system by the Buhler Group, a Swiss equipment manufacturer that believes the facility has “total flexibility in production, size and capacity,” including a “cutting-edge TUBO
Two Track Malting chairman Greg Kessel, left, and CEO Jared Stober, right, pose with Troy Bryant of Farmers Union Enterprises.
Two Track Malting utilizes the world's first RimoMalt modular system from the Buhler Group, a Swiss malting equipment manufacturer. The germination kiln pictured above, which looks like a semi-trailer, can hold 4 million pounds of malt. It also offers Two Track the ability to expand, as the large dirt area (partially shown at the bottom) has space to add four more. That would give Two Track a capacity of 20 million pounds without having to significantly alter its plant, CEO Jared Stober said.
Among the technology upgrades is a new packaging system, left, and a robotic arm that does most of the heavy lifting of the 50-pound bags.

push conveyor and PremierTech’s advanced bagging stations,” according to Buhler’s website.
The bagging system and large robotic arm for moving the finished malt speeds up a process that had previously been done by hand.
“We’re doing about 58,000 pounds of finished malt, and it would take us 40 hours to do (this process) at that volume at the old place,” Stober said. “Every bag is about 50 pounds. Now it’s just much more convenient. That robot is our Employee of the Month for the foreseeable future.”
Jared said Buhler typically manufacturers malting equipment for large companies.
“This is a much smaller version of what they’re used to doing,” he said. “There’s a reason so many big companies use Buhler. As we continue to grow, we won’t really have to change anything. We’d just be adding a germination kiln unit, and we can have up to five of them.”
The upped capacity means Two Track will expand on the marketing side. It was only nine
years ago that Two Track produced its first batch of malt.
“When we first started, we knew we had to look outside North Dakota,” Jared said. “I didn’t realize the reach we would get. We’ve (delivered) to 35 different states, and now we’ll be able to reach a lot more customers. We’re looking at a lot of different opportunities because of this world-class facility.”
Kessel said Two Track provides a unique perspective, in that it’s a small business that can work with partners of any scale, many of whom “don’t want to feel like a number.”
“Some of these (malting) companies have gotten really big, and people still love doing business with people,” he said. “They want those relationships. That’s the nature of the business we’re in. During COVID, we really excelled because people wanted farmers directly selling to them again.”
At the end of the day, the Stobers and Kessels believe the story always comes back to the farmers.
“Our whole goal when we started was about adding value for the growers,” Jared said. “We wanted to help share the story of the grower and celebrate them.”
Pictured here are just three of the malt varieties that Two Track offers to its customers.
Value-added key for fair prices
We are in a time when commodity prices, specifically for grains and oilseeds, are not profitable. Prices are being impacted by excess supply, poor demand, tariffs, trade wars and market concentration. Along with low prices, input costs are steadily increasing. This is not sustainable for farmers and ranchers.
NDFU understands these challenges and is working toward solutions through farm programs and other avenues. We cannot ignore the fact that, at times, markets and political policies won’t be aligned in the interest of production agriculture. We also understand that consumers want high-quality inexpensive food.
This means we must become very good at what we do, and we need to find additional avenues to either be more efficient or add additional value to the crops we produce. The steps to do this are both domestic and international. Internationally, we need to be a good trading partner and establish lasting, working relationships to consume our excess production. Domestically, we need renewable fuels and value-added processing that creates local demand and domestic markets, so we are less reliant on international support to consume excess supplies.
NDFU has always been willing to support financial projects that create domestic demand, and farmer and rancher opportunities to participate in the market beyond the end gate.
This additional effort can be expensive and not every opportunity becomes successful. Even so, we must continue to try.
Currently, NDFU is operating eight restaurants on the East Coast, owned mostly by farmers and ranchers. We have rendering, processing, petfood cannery, pork slaughtering, equipment manufacturing and restaurant grease collection through Farmers Union Industries. We truck food directly to end users, and we buy local products as much as possible.
We have a few new projects that we hope will expand and grow. We have partnered with Two Track Malting in a new plant outside of Bismarck that malts specialty barley. We are working with two oat milling plants to produce edible oat products. We are working on a biodegradable digestible bale wrap. We are supporting meat processing concepts and looking at cryogenic freezing to bring high quality beef and other meat products to premium markets. Most of these projects are only the tip of the iceberg of support we lend to help producers.
We understand farmers and ranchers want to get a fair price in the marketplace. It is challenging in these tough times. New value-added concepts, new product uses for our commodities and expanded domestic processing is essential for farm success. I encourage all of you to consider joining in the effort to expand our market opportunities.
TANK TO TABLE

Wildrose father-son duo build smoker out of anhydrous tank
Having to coordinate multiple smokers for feeding people at community events, Doug Cvancara felt there had to be a better way. So, he and son AJ went to work.
Utilizing YouTube, their welding backgrounds and a little farmer ingenuity, the father-son duo from Wildrose built a large smoker out of a 1,000-gallon anhydrous tank over the winter, finishing the project in March. Their new smoker — nicknamed Snort — has grates with 10,000 square inches of cooking space.
“I was doing some cooking for the public,” said Doug, a director on the Williams County
Doug Cvancara and his son AJ, both of Wildrose, built a smoker out of an anhydrous tank. Doug is a board member for Williams County Farmers Union.
Farmers Union board. “And I would need my smoker. And then I’d need another one, and another one. By the end, it was five or six of them things. And larger smokers like this always kind of intrigued me. I had the tank at the farm, so I thought, we can do this.”
To start the process, Doug said they needed to “decommission” the anhydrous tank to make it food-ready. The running gear was already falling off, he said, so they felt comfortable using this tank.
“I took all of the valving off, all of the piping,” said Doug, a longtime Farmers Union member. “Then I steam cleaned it well for at least two hours. Then I let it sit out in the backyard until midwinter, and then we just started cutting into it. You couldn’t even tell it was an anhydrous tank. No smell, no corrosion. It was remarkable.”
Doug constructed the firebox in November, which he finished in a couple of weeks. In
February, the two patched the holes and cut the big doors, eventually mounting angle iron on the inside to hold the brand-new grates.
By the end of March, the two had a new smoker to test out. They recently used it at a barbecue cookoff in McGregor, taking home the people’s choice award. The smoker itself is bolted to a car trailer, so it’s easier to haul around.
Doug said he hasn’t tested its full capacity to this point, and he’s not sure if he’ll need to.
“At one point, I had 150 pork chops and four racks of ribs on it,” he said. “And we had four or five good sized containers of potatoes.”
It might seem like a lot of work. But to this farm family, it was a breath of fresh air.
“My son and I have a larger operation, so you got to do something like building a smoker to break the stress level,” Doug joked. “I have to give a lot of credit to my son AJ. He was there with me for just about the whole process.”
