Why did you decide to represent the Morrison County dairy industry? I ran because I was told by three different people on the same day and I took it as a sign that I should.

What is your favorite memory from the farm? My favorite memory from the farm is probably when one of our friendliest cows, number 54y, was in the dry cow pen. We were able to climb up on her back and ride around. One time I was laying on her back and she walked past the neck rail. As she walked by, my boot got caught on a bolt that was sticking out but she didn’t care and kept walking. I was hung up there for a while because I couldn’t get my boot off of my foot.
How do you plan to use this position to promote the dairy industry? I plan to be seen by others not only as a dairy farmer but a promoter of dairy. I can use this position to do so. Over the course of this summer I plan to attend as many dairy princess events as possible; this will allow me to reach out to more people.

Describe your farm and what your role there has been: My dad’s farm is just outside of Freedhem. I am the fifth generation on the farm. We don’t milk many cows, just about 60. On the farm, my role is to help my sister with evening milkings, feed milk babies and make sure our young stock is fed and watered. I also scrape barn, mix feed and dry cows when needed, among other chores.
Why did you decide to represent the Morrison County dairy industry? I ran to promote what dairy farmers do on a daily basis. It seems as though not many people know where exactly their food comes from. My older sister was a dairy princess a few years ago and it was a great opportunity for her and since I had the opportunity to run, I took it.

Describe your farm and what your role there has been: My farm is a tie stall barn that holds 72 cows. My main jobs are to take care of all our young stock and keep their living space clean and keep them well fed. I also help my parents milk our cows and push in our cows’ food. What is your favorite memory from the farm? My favorite memory on the farm was the first time I ever got to ride my cow, Rosebud. She stood still and loved when I petted her back.

Why did you decide to represent the Morrison County dairy industry? I did run last year but due to COVID, we missed out on some amazing opportunities and I wanted another chance to participate. How do you plan to use this position to promote the dairy industry? I’ve been in the dairy industry for five years now, so I look forward to sharing some of my knowledge during class visits and hopefully inspiring some future dairy princesses.
Describe your farm and what your role there has been: I work for a large family-run dairy in their calf barn. I help feed and care for the young stock; I also help manage and maintain our five auto feeders. What is your favorite memory from the farm? All of them, but if I have to pick one, it would have to be the first calf I helped nurse back to health. It was a heifer and she had been extremely sick. I worked with her every day for a week and seeing her run up to me after thinking she wasn’t going to make it was when I knew farming was what I wanted to do.
