Motivated by the next generation
Schefers named Goodhue County Farm Family of the Year
By Amy Kyllo amy.k@star-pub.com
ZUMBROTA, Minn. —
Seeing their children’s appreciation for the dairy community is part of what keeps Tony and Maizie Schefer farming.
“Our kids are very, very involved, and that makes it easy for us to want to keep doing it because they enjoy it too,” Maizie said.
The Schefer family was named the 2024 Goodhue County Farm Family of the Year. The Schefers milk 140 cows and farm 130 tillable acres on their farm near Zumbrota.
“We farm because we enjoy working with cows,” Tony said.
Tony and Maizie both work full time on the farm and Maizie also works off the farm as a nurse at the Mayo Clinic. Both grew up dairy farming.
“More than anything, we just are really proud of being dairy farmers,” Maizie said. “When I go to work, I really enjoy all my coworkers who often have ... questions for me, and I enjoy teaching them
about agriculture and dairy farming.”
The Schefers farm as a family and each member of the family has their role. Tony works with breeding, milking and herd health. Maizie works on nancials, bookwork and milking.
Their oldest, Owen, works off the farm but helps evenings and weekends as he is able. Evie, who is in college, helps in the summers and on weekends with feeding calves, milking, cleaning the barn, herd health and other tasks. Matt mixes feed and does mechanic work and Ben feeds calves.
“Our kids are so passionate about ag,” Maizie said. “They’re at the farm all the time nding something to do.”
Not having to hire outside labor is one of the things the Schefers said is part of their success.
“We do a lot of our own work,” Maizie said. “It’s not like we’re going just to check on things.”
The Schefers have spent almost a decade focusing on genetics. They use genomics to aid in their breeding decisions. The Schefers use beef sires for older cows and the bottom cows in the herd from a genetics standpoint. They consider a blend of traits Tony said.
“We want a really balanced animal that’s very functional,” Tony said. “We want them to

look nice and then, of course, they have to be able to produce some milk and components.”
The Schefers use CowManager activity monitors as a tool to track their cows. Maizie said it can detect an issue before
they can see it visibly, and it has been an extremely useful tool.
“They’re good for heat detection, but they’re even better for health-related issues,” Maizie said.
They also work with a nutritionist who is quick to respond when there’s an issue, Tony said. Turn to

MAIZIE SCHEFFLER, DAIRY FARMER
“We work with a nutritionist who we respect, and we feel like he respects us too when we say something’s wrong,” Tony said.
Outside the farm, the Schefers are active in their community. They have worked as coaches for 4-H and FFA dairy judging for about 25 years and have also assisted with several collegiate teams. In their coaching career, they have sent four teams overseas for dairy judging.
Maizie said their family’s life revolves around 4-H and FFA as all their children have been active in these organizations as well as the junior Holstein association.
“It has made them well rounded, condent,” Maizie said. “They’re not afraid of hard work. They see that hard work pays off. They’ve become much better public speakers. ... They’ve
gained a ton of leadership experience.”
The Schefers said their children have also met many new people through their involvement in these organizations.
Besides showing at the Goodhue County Fair, the Schefer children also help friends at their fairs. This year they helped at fairs in Fillmore, Wabasha and Rice Counties. One year they helped at eight county fairs. Maizie said they receive calls with requests for their children’s help with show strings for open shows along with the state fair.
Looking to the future of their farm, the Schefers are open to the next generation returning.
“We’d like to give any or all of our kids the opportunity to come back, ... if that’s something that they would like to do,” Maizie said.

Invest in the future of your dairy business by building a strong understanding of farm nancials and how those numbers impact today’s protability and the operation’s long-term sustainability. Registration deadline is nearing for the 2024-25 PDP Financial Literacy for Dairy, featuring two levels of training tailored to today’s dairy industry and taught by renowned dairy nancial experts.
Level One of Financial Literacy for Dairy provides four days of training in two sessions: Nov. 12-13, and Dec. 4-5. All participants will complete an online assessment at registration to determine the course level best suited to them. The online assessment must be taken before Nov. 7.
Level Two of the program is available to those who successfully complete Level One or those who test into this course. Beginning in January 2025, this phase provides six days of training over three sessions: Jan. 22-23, Feb. 5-6, and Feb. 26-27, providing a deeper look at more comprehensive nancial tools and reporting methods.
Both course levels are taught by dairy nancial experts with focus in on-farm management and farm lending.
All sessions will be held at PDP headquarters in Juneau, Wisconsin, with each class limited to 30 participants. The multisession courses are designed for dairy farmers, veterinarians, nutritionists and other agribusiness professionals to learn key skills and strategies they can put to work at their business before returning to the next session.
Do you have more questions than answers about what the carbon market means for your farm? Are you curious about the impact cover crops or no-till are having on your sustainability score? What happens to your farm’s data and information when it’s submitted to a sustainability program?
All these topics and more will be covered at the November Carbon, Crops + Cows sessions, presented by Professional Dairy Producers. The one-day, farmer-focused program will bring together experts on carbon market and sustainability reporting, and farmers who have experience in this arena to answer questions and provide actionable strategies to managers of any-sized dairy.
The one-day program will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day with lunch and training materials included. The program will repeat at three locations:

Tell us about your chapter. The Clear Lake FFA Chapter is a well-known organization in our community. We love sharing our experiences in FFA with other members and the community. We have a strong, kind and supporting chapter from all perspectives. Our members love trying new challenges and going out of their comfort zone. We always push our members to go to new conferences or try out a different competition. The Clear Lake FFA Chapter is a family and everyone has each other’s backs throughout their time in FFA.
How does your chapter volunteer in the community throughout the year? Each year we strive to give back to our community. We have always cleaned the roadside on our town’s highway each year. During Christmas, we love ringing bells at our local grocery store and welcoming people into the store with our smiles.
What fundraisers does your chapter do throughout the year? Which is the most successful? Our chapter does an annual fruit sale in the fall. Our community loves buying products from our students to help our FFA chapter. The fruit sales are always our No. 1 fundraiser for both beneting our chapter and the most looked forward to in our community. In the springtime, we also provide a strawberry sale that our members love participating in. Another annual event we hold is our community pancake breakfast. The ofcer team cooks and serves guests. Each year at our town’s festival, Clear Lake Days, the FFA alumni along with FFA members staff a cheese
curd stand. We enjoy providing homemade delicious Wisconsin cheese curds to our town, and they are highly looked for at the event.
What are the biggest events of the year? Our biggest events for our members each year would be our Food for America Day and FFA Awards Banquet. The Food for America Day is an event we put on for elementary students at a local farm. FFA members set up various stations with livestock, crops and other ag topics to teach to stu-

dents. We also take them on a tour of the farm. It is a fun day for both our FFA members and our friends at the elementary school. Our annual FFA Banquet takes place in April and is where we award our members with a variety of FFA degrees and chapter prociency awards for their projects and recognize individuals and teams that competed in events throughout the year. It is a big event and one that is anticipated throughout the year. Another big hit for our chapter was donkey basketball. This event took place in our high school and the stands were full. We fundraised at this event to send members to the Washington Leadership Conference. We loved watching different staff and students ride the donkeys across the gym. We had amazing reviews and compliments from the community.
What is unique about your chapter? Our chapter is unique in that we have a diverse background of students and many members are heavily involved in many areas of our school. For most of our membership, FFA is not the only club. Many members are three-sport athletes; student council members; Family, Career and Community Leaders of America members; National Honor Society members; and 4-H members. Many attend youth
Tell us about your farm and family. I’m the oldest and have one little sister, Grace, and live with my parents, Corey and Angie Hornick. My grandpa was the owner of our farm. We went out of the milking business three years ago. We used to milk 120 head and had about 50 dry cows. We kept my cow and switched to Shorthorn and Longhorn cattle. When we sold, I was asked by a neighbor who was looking for help on their dairy farm and I have been working there for about two years.
groups and church activities, community clubs and more. We enjoy being involved in multiple activities and, in a smaller school and town, we all tend to get involved as much as we can.
When was your chapter founded and how has it evolved? Our chapter was founded in 1936 and started as many FFA chapters did — focusing on the boys living and working on the farms in the area. Over the years, we have seen the program grow to include multiple FFA advisors and teach about many agricultural subject areas beyond the family farm. We added an FFA alumni and supporters chapter in the 1970s (that is still a very active part of our chapter’s success) and opened membership to women in the 1960s. Our FFA chapter now has more than 100 members and is about 50% of our school’s total population. Girls hold a majority of the leadership roles in our chapter and the chapter as a whole is about half male, half female. While we are still very rooted in agriculture, we have a big focus on leadership, career skills (for both ag and non-ag careers) and community service.
Kaylee Hornick VICE PRESIDENT
Why did you join FFA? I joined FFA because I’ve always heard stories from my dad and wanted to do the things he did and never got to do. FFA allows me to create my own story. I’ve always been a farm girl and thought that FFA was all about farming, but there is really a lot of leadership involved.
What is your role in the chapter? I help run committees, coach meats evaluation career development event meetings and run a fundraiser for the chapter. I brought a new candle fundraiser for our chapter last spring, am consistently a top salesperson, and encourage other members to do SAE projects and prociency awards.
What FFA contests do you compete in? Meats evaluation career development event, discussion meet leadership development event.
What do you look forward to most in the upcoming FFA year? Our yearly FFA banquet, because I always love watching everyone achieve the things they worked hard for. I remember sitting at the rst banquet and getting a pin and being so excited. I want members to achieve their goals.
How has FFA shaped you as a person? FFA has really gotten me out of my comfort zone. I used to be scared of talking to people, even if they were people I knew. My advisor told me when I was in eighth grade that I should try this leadership conference. I went to the conference and had a blast and wanted to do more. Each year I try to do more FFA activities and encourage more members to join and do activities.
What are your duties on the farm? I was fully in charge of calves — feeding, bedding, giving medicine and overall care. As I got older, I started milking along with feeding calves. I help raise and maintain the Longhorn herd of 12. At my neighbor’s, my job is to care for the calves by feeding, bedding, giving medications and taking care of any other problems they may have.
What are your future plans? I plan to go to college for welding and own a hobby farm with beef, horses, pigs and chickens.
When do you do chores? I help with raking hay in the summer. I mow grass as well.
What is your favorite and least favorite chore? My favorite is raking hay. My least
