Hello Sisters, Happy Fall!
I love this time of year! Combines have been in the field for a couple weeks now, which is early for us here in Minnesota. My house is full of tomatoes to be canned and apples to be made into applesauce and apple pies. Let’s not forget the beautiful fall colors!
Have you connected with anyone new since National Convention? Have you started using the tools and resources you picked up at National Convention in your chapters and personal lives? Feel free to reach out to me and let me know how you are utilizing new resources and tools within your chapters.
For those that couldn’t attend National Convention, I challenged all sisters to recruit a net growth of three new members to assist the Sorority in achieving our revenue growth objective. As I mentioned in my State of the Sorority, parts of one objective must be achieved before we have the ability to move others forward. How is your chapter doing on having a net growth of three members from last year?
The National Sorority Board will be meeting in the next couple of weeks for our Fall Board meeting, where we will continue to work on the Strategic Plan tasks. We will also start working through some of the suggestions brought up during committee meetings.
Good luck to everyone this semester and I hope to connect with a few of you.
Kim Neumann National Sorority Board President
On July 20-23, 2023, sisters from across the country gathered in Omaha, NE to participate in the 2023 Sigma Alpha National Convention. Held every other year, this three-day event featured personal and professional development sessions presented by accomplished agricultural experts from across the country. From finances to social media to mental health, attendees left with a renewed enthusiasm for the mission of Sigma Alpha: cultivating professional women in agriculture.
The program started off strong with delegates heading into pillarspecific sessions where they developed and discussed changes and feedback that they had regarding each pillar which was reported on during the National Chapter Congress. Alternate voting delegates attended strategic planning sessions where their input was used to further the development of the National Sorority’s Strategic Plan.
The evening concluded with a perfectly-on-theme cowgirls and aliens reception where sisters line-danced the night away!
The next two days were full of chapter development workshops featuring ag advocacy, social media tips and tricks, personnel and finance management and more.
Agriculture advocacy award recipient Sherry Vinton participated in an invigorating Women in Ag panel alongside Carmen Bensen, Kim Neumann, Robyn Moffat and Brooke Greene (more on page 4-5).
The Convention concluded with inspiring words from Courtenay DeHoff. As the founder of the global brand movement, Fancy Lady Cowgirl, she now used her voice and experience to celebrate women from all walks of life and teach them how to build a courageous mindset and pursue impossible results to live legendary.
During the Leadership Luncheon at National Convention, Sherry Vinton was awarded the Sigma Alpha Agriculture Advocacy Award.
About the Award: The Agriculture Advocate Award is presented to an individual who lives out the values of Sigma Alpha. They also support the development of our membership, as well as the promotion of women in the agriculture industry, serving as advisors and mentors to our members and setting an example of leadership in our society. It is not required for award recipients to be members of Sigma Alpha, but are those who whole heartedly believe in it’s values. Through the Ag Advocate Award, we honor these individuals that live by the objective of Sigma Alpha because they are promoting the next generation of women in agriculture by helping them gain success through scholarship, leadership, and service.
About Director Vinton: Sherry Vinton was appointed as the Director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) in January 2023 by Governor Jim Pillen. As NDA Director, Vinton oversees all programs of the agency including animal disease traceability programs, regulatory programs for plants and animals, food safety and consumer protection programs, and the promotion of Nebraska agriculture and ag products.
A lifelong Nebraskan and livestock producer, Vinton brings a wide range of experience, leadership, and knowledge to this position.
Vinton is a fifth-generation rancher on a family ranch south of Whitman in the Sandhills of Nebraska. The Vinton family runs a cow-calf operation where they raise Angus cattle that graze on native pasture, irrigated alfalfa and sub irrigated prairie hay. Vinton attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she studied accounting and currently manages the business end of the family ranch.
Vinton’s experience on various agricultural organizations and advisory committees at the local, state, and federal level serves Nebraska well. She was appointed to the Cattlemen’s Beef Board in 2012 and represented Congressional District 3 on the Nebraska Environmental Trust board for 14 years after her appointment in 2007. Vinton also served as treasurer and mentor for the Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition and is a member of the Agriculture Builders of Nebraska.
Vinton is a leader in Nebraska agriculture who knows the importance of the industry for the future of our state. Her passion for farming, ranching, and nature makes her the perfect advocate for agriculture, someone who will stand up for farmers and ranchers, promote and grow Nebraska agriculture, increase market access for Nebraska ag products and add value to the commodities that are produced.
During the Leadership Luncheon, a panel of women in agriculture assembled and spoke to attendees on the topic, All?
The panel featured:
Kim Neumann, National Sigma Alpha President and Loan Officer for Ag Country Farm Credit
Robyn Moffat, Senior Recruiter for Site One in the Eastern Region
Sherry Vinton, Director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture
Brooke Greene, National Sigma Alpha Secretary and Senior Account Manager for ADM’s Animal Nutrition Division
Panelists discussed the meaning of success and the pressures that face women in ag as we strive to find balance between work, family, finances, career ambition and emotional wellbeing. They shared advice on grounding themselves in their communities and how it has helped them reconnect with their “why.”
Questions from the audience brought the conversation to discuss moving for work, choosing the right company, and balancing the demands of emotional well being and your career.
The discussion wrapped up with advice from panelists on finding fulfilment through seasons of change and working in a male-dominated industry.

During the 2023 Sigma Alpha National Convention, collegiate and alumna attendees worked together to complete an array of projects benefiting the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation’s Ag in the Classroom program.
Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation’s Agriculture in the Classroom program is supported by the National Agriculture in the Classroom Organization. The Ag in the Classroom program in Nebraska has a mission to bring youth, educators, and the public information that promotes the understanding and importance of agriculture in their daily lives. It is especially important, as one in four jobs in Nebraska have some tie to agriculture. Each year, Nebraska Farm Bureau reaches more than 600 teachers, 25,000 students and 3,500 volunteers.
After a day full of professional development, our members spent part of the afternoon working together to complete four different projects for Nebraska Farm Bureau’s Agriculture in the Classroom. One of their outreach events is Agriculture Reading Hour, where volunteers throughout the state read an American Farm Bureau’s agriculture book of the year, I Love Strawberries! to elementary students across the state.
A few of our members helped with this project by simply placing a sticker that read “donated by Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation” in approximately 100 books. Classroom visits with an education specialist on staff is another way that the Nebraska Farm Bureau is increasing ag literacy across the state.
There are many different lesson opportunities in the Ag in the Classroom toolbox, including germination necklaces, or ‘cornhusker necklaces’ as Nebraska Farm Bureau calls them. Many members helped to cut and tie yarn around necklace bags and packaged them into groups for classroom visits.
To round out the visits, staff bring bundles of pencils with ag facts on them to leave behind with the students. Attendees helped to make over 300 pencil bundles, serving over 300 classrooms! Lastly, members made over 100 ‘Sigma Alpha Coloring Books’ which included 5 different coloring pages featuring farm-related images and handwritten facts about agriculture. These were also donated to the Nebraska Farm Bureau to use as part of their Agriculture in the Classroom Program.
Considering Sigma Alpha Sorority’s National Philanthropy supporting Agriculture in the Community, this project was a great way for our members to be encouraged that even small projects can have a large impact. Sometimes organizations that we support have limited resources in terms of personnel and time, thus our time commitment to them is extremely valuable.
This service project served as a reminder to our chapter representatives that service projects do not have to be elaborate, they can be completed in collaboration with other organizations either locally or on a state level, and that philanthropy events can be completed with little to no financial commitment. The National Sorority Board sincerely appreciates the Convention attendees that were able to assist with the service project, and we look forward to seeing the great work your chapters continue to do in your local communities.

For Kathryn Paulson, ag was everywhere. It was what she grew up around and what she knew best. However, when she came to South Dakota State University, she didn’t feel like she belonged in agriculture. She was not interested in obtaining an agricultural business or animal science degree, but instead she loved discussing leadership and psychology but had yet to learn how that related to agriculture or her future career.
She quickly realized that there was a need for mental health professionals who understand the unique struggles of individuals within the agricultural industry. From there, she knew that pursuing a degree in human development and family studies and being involved in Sigma AlphaOmega would be the perfect combination to pursue her passion. After obtaining her undergraduate degree, Paulson decided to continue her education by obtaining a master’s degree in counseling and human resource development, specializing in clinical mental health in 2022.
After being active within the Omega chapter for two and a half years, Paulson decided to give back to the organization by speaking on mental health at the 2023 Sigma Alpha Convention.
Paulson’s goal throughout all her sessions was to educate the Sigma Alpha sisters to manage the stressors in their lives and how to prevent burnout.
“I think that mental health is such an important topic, especially for women in agriculture,” said Paulson.
Her first session, “Let’s Talk About It,” focused on discussing the difference between mental health and illness, the warning signs and symptoms, conflict management, and available resources. This session allowed sisters the opportunity to learn warning signs and symptoms to be able to look out for each other, as well as learn how to conquer conflict effectively.
Paulson’s second session, “Your Greatest Asset: A Healthy Mind,” focused on personal mental health and well-being, tips on how to recognize signs of burnout and fatigue, strategies to manage stress and prevent burnout, and how to navigate burnout in relationships within your life. This session allowed sisters to learn how to overcome burnout in their lives and how to navigate it with those around them.
Paulson’s session allowed sisters to learn about a more prevalent topic in our society today and taught them how to
overcome obstacles. In each of her sessions she encourages everyone to allow themselves the opportunity to rest.
“As women in ag, you must work twice as hard for the same opportunities and fight for a seat at the table, said Paulson.
“Remember that you are human and not a machine. Doing your best every day looks different; do not be afraid to discuss it. We cannot advocate for agriculture if we cannot take care of ourselves.”
Currently, Paulson works for the South Dakota Department of Human Services at the South Dakota Development Center as a Behavior Therapist for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. She is still continuing her education by working towards becoming a licensed professional counselor.
Paulson said she would love the opportunity to speak at any Sigma Alpha chapter interested in learning more about mental health and illness, farm and ranch stress, burnout, or self-care.

As I sit here to write this piece, I realize how much I take for granted about the industry that raised me. Of course, after graduation and finding a foothold in the professional world, I don’t interact with the sweet potato industry near as much as I used! Hey sisters, my name is Clemmie Weddle, I’m an alumna of the Beta Upsilon Chapter at Mississippi State University, and with this article it is my privilege to share with you a story about sweet potatoes!
I grew up in the Sweet Potato Capital of the World! That’s right, my small, caution-light town of Vardaman, Mississippi, is well known for the quality of sweet potatoes our farmers grow for family, friends, and customers like you! We didn’t earn this title based on volume grown, but rather the taste of our sweet potatoes. When you take a national look at this industry, there are several states that out rank us by the number of sweet potatoes grown, both in acres planted and bushels harvested. However, the soil in our area affords farmers the opportunity to raise some of the best tasting sweet potatoes!
I’m not, nor do I claim to be, a soil scientist, but the silty loams within about a 50 miles radius of Vardaman are preferred by sweet potatoes. “They don’t like having wet feet,” was my grandfather’s response when I asked, “why is our dirt so special?” years ago! While I may not work on the farm now, in my adolescent years, I was the fifth generation to live and work on my family’s farm laboring towards raising a sweet potato crop.
My grandfather also proclaims that June potatoes make the best crops, by that he means sweet potatoes planted in June. I must agree with him, June potatoes usually make a fine crop. The transplanting slips get to wait a little longer and build strength before they are cut and moved.
Once in the field, the plants get the early to mid-summer rains that can make or break
harvest yields. Sweet potatoes planted in June are also just meeting the 120-day mark that signifies maturity by fall harvest time.
After maturing, there’s several ways to get them out of the field. My family used a piece of equipment we called “the digger.” As its name suggests, a blade is put in ground at the end of the row, pulled by a tractor. As it inches forward, clusters of sweet potatoes are dug up and rolled on a conveyor belt to people who then pack the sweet potatoes in designated crates. More commonly used now are bucket crews. Still, a piece of equipment overturns the sweet potatoes out of the ground, but this time, individuals move through the field with 5-gallon buckets picking up potatoes and depositing them in a trailer at the end of the field.
Out of the field, sweet potatoes start the journey to your plate in a processing facility. Here they are kiln dried to extend their shelf life, and most will be “washed and waxed.” No, farmers don’t wax sweet potatoes, but the washing process does leave them with a shine. During the wash process sweet potatoes will be sorted again based on size and imperfections. Grades termed “1s and 2s” are usually what makes it to your grocery store shelf, occasionally you will get access to “jumbos.” “Canners” are hauled to another processing facility and can become any number of products like baby food, dog food, canned/jarred puree, and so much more.
My little town is quite proud of the products we grow; decades ago, we celebrated these feats with a harvest festival.
Today, these accomplishments are still celebrated on the first Saturday in November with a similar festival. Craft vendors flood the street, music floats in the air, food vendors and fun activities are posted at every turn! Growing up, the highlight of the festival was the Sweet Potato Cooking Contest held the Saturday following the festival. Goodies entered would be served later in the evening at the harvest banquet as winners are called for each category and we all waited on the mayor to present his favorite dish with the Mayor’s Cup!
I hope this has given you a brief glimpse of the industry that helped raise me. It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to give back in this way. I am thankful for my time on the farm, my time at MSU, and all my career pursuits within the ag industry!
To finish this piece here’s one of my favorite recipes I have entered in the cooking contest over the years!
Ingredients:
Sweet potatoes
Mini Marshmallows
Individual Soft Caramel Candies
Sea Salt
Instructions:
Bake sweet potatoes completely (time will depend on size of sweet potatoes).
Remove from oven, and carefully make one slice to open immediately; do not allow to cool.
Place 2-3 caramel candies inside the opened sweet potato and top with salt.
Place as many mini marshmallows as desired on top. Allow sweet potato to rest until inclusions are melted. Serve warm & enjoy!

Sisters at the University of North Dakota will be hosting and participating in the Regional Professional Development event on Saturday, November 18, 2023. Held in Fargo, North Dakota, this event will include breakout sessions, networking opportunities, guest speakers and hands-on activities.
“We are excited to offer another professional development opportunity for our members,” said Kim Nuemann, President of the Sigma Alpha National Sorority Board. “This event will help our members grow in their leadership roles and we hope to add more regional events in the future.” Join sisters from across the country as they grow in their professional endeavors and see what Fargo has to offer. After the event is over, enjoy downtown Fargo with sisters and explore the numerous restaurants and boutiques.
“Whether it be seeing sisters, meeting future peers or gaining insight from a different perspective, professional development events allow us the opportunity to cultivate what matters to us, as individuals, and apply it to bettering ourselves and our communities for tomorrow,” said Rachel Walker, professional development director for the Sigma Alpha National Sorority Board.
Registration will be available in October. For more information about the event or any questions, contact Joelle Moorehouse, NDSU chapter president, at jelle.moorhouse@ndsu.edu.
Sigma Alpha Sorority is only as strong as its members. Alumnae can continue to be involved in a variety of ways on a national and/or local level. Alumnae involvement allows sisters to not only continue to grow on their journey and sisterhood experience, but can also enhance and strengthen the experience of collegiate sisters both now and for years to come. Whether Alumnae choose to be involved on a local level, on a national level or both, is up to the individual.
Sign into the Greenhouse for dues payment options (select the ’National Dues/Invoicing’ tab), search for and stay connected with sisters, and keep up-to date with collegiate and alumnae chapter events. Visit the Greenhouse today to set-up your account!

Each year our friends at SiteOne visit a number of campuses across the country to recruit for full time and internship opportunities. They’d love the chance to connect with your chapter. There are a few remaining visits this school term if you’re interested in having them come out to a chapter meeting while they are on your campus, have a chapter officer reach out to reach out to Recruitment Director Michele Posehn mposehn@siteone.com to get the ball rolling and set up a meeting! If the dates below don’t work or if your campus isn’t listed, and you’d like to have a SiteOne representative come out have a chapter officer connect with Michele to determine if/when that could happen.
When Sigma Alpha Sorority began its strategic planning process last year, the Sigma Alpha Educational Foundation launched its planning as well. Annually, the Foundation’s budget has been modest, with most of its revenue coming from corporate partners in the Agriculture sector. In order for the Foundation to increase funding for scholarship and grant opportunities available for the sisters of Sigma Alpha and for all women in Agriculture, it is imperative that it increase the money that it generates each year.
To do this, the Foundation is focusing on growing donations into 2028 through two main channels – increasing support from corporate partners and increasing donations from individuals. At Sigma Alpha’s 2023 National Convention this past July, Kelly Lawler, past Sigma Alpha National President and current Sigma Alpha Foundation board member announced the kick-off of an individual giving campaign. Lawler shared with attendees, “One thing I am personally passionate about is service on the National Leadership Team and how in that role we can help you build on your personal growth and increase the sister network nationwide so that you can benefit from an expanded network of professional women in Ag. This is why I chose to kick off an individual giving campaign in 2023. My goal is to get 100 sisters to give at least $100 before the Sorority’s Conclave next summer!”
When met, Lawler’s goal will translate into at least $10,000 in new donations in one year. She is already well on her way to reaching the dollar value – with a single social media post she hit 10% of the goal for number of donations and nearly 25% of the dollar value of the goal with some donors donating $500 and $1,000.
Help the Sigma Alpha Foundation surpass this goal and make your donation today to support scholarships and grants for current and future women leaders in agriculture!
