Her family still operates an Illinois farm, but for the sake of “family harmony” they have a hired farm manager.

And it’s wonderful if you like it.” Sarah’s favorite Cookbook Corner recipe is a quick spaghetti carbonara. “It’s very impressive and yet easy,” she said. Sarah is no food snob. “Heck no, I am not a gourmet cook. I can eat the whole spectrum,” Sarah said. “I love those cheesy potatoes out of the box. And I sure love fancy food too.” Sarah is also a feature writer and What’s Cooking? columnist for Mankato Magazine.

Carolyn Van Loh is a history buff and retired English professor from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College in Owatonna, Minn. She has been a correspondent for The Land since 2009. Married to farmer Dave Van Loh, Carolyn has two grown children, and five grandchildren ages 10 to 19. She loves Carolyn Van living amidst the heritage of the family farm near WestLoh is schedbrook in Cottonwood County, Minn. uled to appear “I was never going to marry a farmer and I didn’t. On our at The Land’s 14th wedding anniversary we moved back to the Van Loh booth #2402 in family farm when my father-in-law retired,” she said. “It’s Ag Tent I on one of the best things I ever did.” Wednesday, Carolyn enjoys living in the country and admiring the Aug. 5, from 34 p.m. rural scenery in all seasons. In the past year, she took readers to a Brazilian farm. Her most memorable story was Christmas 2011 when she introduced readers to Mike and Connie Gunderson, a farm couple that had surmounted major medical challenges. “None of my stories are what kind of seed to buy. I like the people stories,” said Carolyn. She is the author of three books. “A Place of Interest: One Family’s Journey to the Farmlands of Minnesota” tells the story of a community growing up on the prairie based on her mother-in-law’s diary. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is a 50-year history of Pillsbury Baptist Bible College and “Strong Roots: The People of the Minnesota Farm Bureau” is a history of the organization’s first 90 years.

In the last four years, their son has added market lambs and pasture chickens to the place. Tim and Jan write many stories on organic and sustainable farms. This year, the Kings took us to Fox Farm Pork in Browerville, Minn., and a 200acre cattle ranch near Staples, Minn. Tim is also the reader behind The Land’s recurring Readers’ Retreat feature. The duo may be best known to Land readers for their frequent contributions to the Back Roads series, such as their visits to a treehouse in Long Prairie, Minn.; a grain mill in Caledonia, Minn.; a toy store in Kellogg, Minn., and many more. “I just went to a pow wow on Leech Lake,” said Tim. “Doing it alone would be a lonely experience, but doing it together, it’s a wonderful adventure with your wife of 45 years.”

Karen Schwaller

Since 2012, The Land readers have laughed, cried and connected with Karen Schwaller in her Table Talk column. Her down-to-earth stories tell the life of a farm woman with heart and humor. “I’ve been a farm girl for 50 some years,” she said. Karen grew up on a grain and livestock farm in Northwest Karen Iowa, attended college and lived in town for a year or two Schwaller is before she married Dave and went back to the farm for the scheduled to rest of her being. The Schwallers grow corn, soybeans and appear at The alfalfa and raise sheep on their farm near Milford, Iowa. Land’s booth “No one is sorry that we don’t have hogs anymore,” she #2402 in Ag quipped. On loading day, the kids would be crying because Tent I on loading hogs brings out the worst in people sometimes, but Wednesday, a doughnut on the way to the sale barn made everything Aug. 5, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. better. Now Karen’s twin sons and daughter are in their 20s. The boys are farming and have a cow-calf operation and her daughter is an agribusiness sales manager. Her role on the farm is keeping the farmer going, the family and house running, the finances in order, and being the main gofer person. Then there’s that “nasty laundry” and mowing that needs to get done. Still she is always up for helping out with the down and dirty work when called: lambing, calving, loading sheep, running the hay rake or baler. “Stacking hay in the barn — now that’s a bra tester, especially on those really hot days,” said Karen. A seasoned writer and speaker, she runs a business called Schwaller AgriStories. “The farm woman is a really important person on the farm. Her role is so varied,” Karen said. “And by writing about it, I feel like the rest of the world can understand the life we live.” Her best columns are collected in her book “The Dirt: Family Life on an Iowa Farm – Stories to Entertain and Inspire.” The books may be available for sale and signing at The Land’s Farmfest booth.

THE LAND — 2015 FARMFEST ANNUAL

For 22 years, Alan Guebert has been writing his weekly Farm and Food File column, nationally syndicated in 70 newspapers around the country. The Land has carried his column since 1994. Along the way, Alan has written about big ag, politics, farm bills, farm policy, food labeling and genetically-modiAlan Guebert fied organisms among other controversial topics. Contrary is scheduled to to popular belief, he says he is not against “big ag,” but appear at The insists the industry and farm groups could do things betLand’s booth ter. #2402 in Ag “I do journalism. I do hard journalism so when I write Tent I on something it’s what I believe and it’s what I can back up Thursday, Aug. with facts and figures,” he said. “No one’s lukewarm on me. 6, from 9 a.m. They’re cold or they’re hot.” 3 p.m. Farming is constantly changing and Alan said farming is due for another change — one in which the millions of people in this country who don’t farm are going to have something to say about where their food comes from. “A good meal, 2,000 years ago — lamb chops, lots of red wine and a loaf of bread. It was good enough for Julius Caesar,” Alan said. “And it’s still a good meal. Good food isn’t complicated, but boy we’ve sure made it that way.” Alan recalled his mother’s canned peaches in which opening a jar in winter was “July in January.” Guebert’s most beloved columns are memories and stories about growing up on a 720-acre, 100-cow southern Illinois dairy farm in the late 1960s. Those columns are now available in the book “The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey” published by the University of Illinois Press. He will be selling and signing “The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey” at The Land’s booth at Farmfest on Thursday, Aug. 6. Alan said he is fortunate to have so many stories to tell about life on the farm — such as learning how to drive a tractor. “I’ll betcha every farm kid remembers that,” said Alan. Alan’s daughter, Mary Grace Foxwell, conceptualized the book, as well as collected the columns and edited it. Each column recalls and reflects on the people, food and values her father learned on the farm. She also wrote the epilogue that details her own memories of her father and lessons from her grandparents’ farm. There was no shortage of hard work on the farm, and Alan and his brothers worked alongside the hired men. “You got up at 5 a.m. and milked with the hired man, Howard, then worked all day in the fields and then you milked that evening,” he said. “That was a good day. It built character and responsibility and the willingness to get up tomorrow and do it again.” Several stories center on Alan’s great Uncle Honey, who retired from his in-town job to “help” his father on their farm. Uncle Honey was a gentle giant, but a “throttle-breaking terror” on a tractor. “A good day to Uncle Honey was mowing hay, leaving the farm, having a little 7 Up or Budweiser and playing euchre,” Alan said. So what would Uncle Honey say about Country of Origin Labeling, GMOs and Chipotle? Uncle Honey would give a quick hand wave and say “Aaah” like the old Germans. “He’d nod and get on his Oliver 77 and go mow hay,” said Alan.

In 2014, the Minneapolis Star Tribune counted 12 grain bin entrapments in Minnesota through September. Safety and Security Consultation Specialists are partnering with Brock Grain Systems to conduct live grain bin demonstrations and educational safety this year at Farmfest. The demonstrations are designed to increase the awareness of the dangers of engulfment in flowing grain and the safety procedures that can save lives. Two Minnesota farmers were recently rescued from entrapment accidents in grain bins. If the first responders did not have proper training and equipment, the farmers may not have been saved. This demonstration offers critical education for producers and first responders to make them aware of the specialized equipment training needed to rescue someone entrapped in a grain bin. The chances of surviving an engulfment are greatly increased if a rescue tube is used. Grain bin dangers Jack Volz, president of SASCS, noted the human body is far more dense than the grain, and will sink to the lowest point. “It’s just like being shrink-wrapped, and it’s constantly pushing against you like quicksand,” he said. “Most victims are completely submerged in seconds. Ninety-two percent of people fully engulfed in grain do not survive. If a man is buried in grain to his waist, it will take 625 pounds of force over his body weight to free him from the grain.” The grain rescue tube was developed by Purdue University. It consists of a round tube made of interlocking panels. It’s jammed into the grain around the victim. This training is conducted for the fire and ambulance departments around the state of Minnesota. SASCS will be at the Brock Grain Systems Farmfest exhibit (Booth 620) doing live demonstrations all three days. The group will be doing “rescues” each day at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. as well as at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. using volunteers from the crowd. The demonstration trailer is self-contained and has a video camera and large screen TV to show what is going on inside the bin during the rescue. Plastic pellets are used instead of grain.
