Farming one-handed
Brockpahler recalls round baler accident
By Meghan Kropp & Mark Klaphake meghan.k@dairystar.com
SEBEKA, Minn. — Farm safety stays close in mind for Tyler Brockpahler, who knows how quickly injuries can happen. Brockpahler lost part of his right arm to an accident involving a round baler roughly eight years ago.
“I’m more thoughtful now about what I am doing,” he said. “I was a lot younger then too, so you think nothing bad can happen. Getting older adds that to you either way.”
At the time of the accident, he was starting his dairy career. Today, Brockpahler milks 65 cows in a partnership with his father-in-law, John Malone.
As a child Brockpahler was out helping his father with many different jobs on the farm. After the accident, however, he has been a little more cautious in having his four children doing some of the same chores he had done.
“Dad was happy for the help. But I have been a lot slower at getting them to do that stuff,” he said. “They haven’t done hardly any tractor driving.”
pahler said was worn out at the time of the accident, dislocated his elbow and was starting to cut through the skin above by the time he had pulled his cell phone out of his pocket with his other hand. He called his dad, who was home, then called 911.
Brockpahler’s father and rst responders used bars to release the spring tension in the baler to get his arm out.
“The ambulance came out there and I was in there for a little while,” he said. “Then a helicopter picked me up in the eld and took me to Robbinsdale.”
When he arrived, doctors worked to x the damage to his arm.
“They tried to save it for a while that night,” he said. “It wouldn’t circulate blood again so they took it off.
After a few days in the hospital, Brockpahler was sent home.
“They don’t really keep you; I was surprised,” he said. “Once you’re done bleeding, they want you out of there. One reason I had to be there that long was a lot of skin grafts, and that takes time. They don’t do them all in one day.”
When Brockpahler went back for a check-up, he was readmitted for a few more days before being sent home for good.
Brockpahler’s accident was in July when he was out baling hay at his father’s farm. He had stopped to unclog the machine when the baler pulled his arm in between the rollers.
At the time of the accident, Brockpahler said his oldest two children were roughly 5 and 4, and the youngest two had not been born yet. For them, he said, their dad having one arm is the way things have always been.
“It was between two rubber rollers so there’s no slipping back,” he said. “There wasn’t a lot of blood loss or anything because the belts burned it instead of cutting, so it was getting cauterized as it was coming off.”
The Gehl baler, which Brock-
Along with learning how to now do everything with one hand, Brockpahler also had to switch to his nondominant left hand.

Tyler Brockpahler holds his prosthe c arm Sept. 23 on the dairy he operates with his father-in-law John Malone near Sebeka, Minnesota. Brockpahler lost part of his arm in a round baler accident.
“You never become truly lefthanded,” he said. “ You can’t change your brain.”
He added, “I’m sure you could do most things one-handed anyways. I guess it’s just getting things back to normal again afterwards.”
The accident did not slow Brockpahler down. The following winter and spring he worked on a barn on his property.
“The barn was unnished,” he said. “At that point, it hadn’t been milked in since the ‘80s so I was working on getting all that going. “I already had cows. I had friends that were milking them for me.”
Brockpahler said the barn will be a hundred years old next year. Currently, he has a few heifers at his property, but most of his herd is at his father-in-law’s place.
Brockpahler’s hobbies have been affected by the accident. Brockpahler was mid-season playing center eld for the Nimrod Gnats amateur baseball team when the accident happened.
“Obviously I’m not throwing anymore,” he said. “This kind of ended that sooner than I would have liked, but now I’m too old.”
Brockpahler is still part of the team, lending his experience to coaching instead.
He also has had to adjust to how he would normally hunt.
“I shoot a little different than I used to (and) not as well either,” he
said. “You’ve got to have a rail to set it on. There’s no freehand shooting anymore.”
Even with these changes, Brockpahler has gotten a few deer in recent years.
“I did nd a company that makes a trigger that you hook on the trigger and put it in your mouth so you can pull,” he said. “I haven’t ordered one yet, but I think I might do that one of these days.”
Around the farm, Brockpahler only uses a prosthetic for milking cows.
“I’ll hold the milker while I put it on,” Brockpahler said. “Otherwise, I never wear it. … That prosthetic seems to be more of a danger if you’re trying to use it.”
Brockpahler said the prosthetic gets caught on everything.
“Even milking cows, when they are swishing their tails, you always get them hooked in the hook so you’re always pulling that out,” he said. “I just don’t feel good wearing it around other than milking.”
To help with chores and tasks around the farm, Brockpahler said he uses vice grips and makes tools to help with everything from welding to greasing machinery and more.
“I can do almost anything,” he said. “The only thing I haven’t gured out yet is how to A.I. cattle again. I still can’t do that. I haven’t gured out a way to rig that up. That takes two hands.”

A future on the farm
Six years after Darren Keranen’s family stopped dairying at their farm near Osage, Minnesota, he started it up again. During the restart, improvements were made. A 120-stall freestall barn was one of these improvements. The original at 12-stall parlor that had been upgraded to a swing-10 parlor was again renovated to a swing-15 parlor using repurposed materials. Keranen said at the time that cow comfort and quick ow were the biggest things they had noticed about the new facilities. Help on the farm came from Keranen’s wife, Sonya, and their kids, Matix, Charity and Arber. He also got a hand from his dad, Arnold, and brother, Andrew.
Stommes never waivers from cows despite turbulent markets
Not far from Albany, Minnesota, Brandon Stommes could be found milking 76 cows at a farm he rented. During this time, Stommes had made careful decisions to keep the farm going. This was not the rst time Stommes had had to withstand dropping milk prices. In the dip around 2009, Stommes raised feeder steers, custom-harvested round bales and worked a full-time job to keep himself out of the red. One thing Stommes never lost sight of was the milking cows and their health. Making it through the times, Stommes appreciated conversations with his nutritionist, his veterinarian and other farmers.
Adding value to their milk
Near Shullsburg, Wisconsin, Joe and Amber McComish could be found diversifying their farm. The couple had three kids — Hunter, Killian and Meara — and managed a 200-cow dairy. To diversify the family wanted to be able to process dairy products. The family rst investigated producing cheese, but then a friend recommended making gelato. After doing some research Amber started making gelato in her kitchen with purchased whole milk, an ice cream maker and a countertop freezer. She had been working to get their gelato into stores and restaurants and she had also been catering events, providing her gelato as a special dessert. Looking toward the future the McComishs hoped to be able to create a certied kitchen in a refrigerated trailer.
Dairy momʼs hobby becomes thriving business
Lynn Hicks, an organic dairy farmer from Gilman, Wisconsin, started with a hobby and ended with a business, Lynn’s Barnyard Boutique. While trying to nd a way to keep herself occupied during her kids’ nap time she discovered refurbishing wooden furniture. Originally, she started with chairs, fabric and paint and then expanded from there. As people learned about her talent, they gave her items, and eventually, things started showing up on her lawn. One of her requirements is that her pieces be functional and useful. When starting a piece Hicks rarely had an image in her head about what the end outcome was going to be.

A dangerous industry
When the hay got rained on for nine days, Jason Reber from Mantorville, Minnesota, was anxious to get it off the eld before the next rainfall. When the chopper plugged up, Reber was quick to identify the problem. However, when he went to unplug the blower, he did not realize it was still turning even though the machine was decelerating. Right away Reber pulled his arm out but not before his forearm was injured. Reber was own to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and told he would only have 10% usage of his hand, which he said was better than not having a hand as he had expected.
A dairying retirement
Don and Henrietta Bednarek from Cameron, Wisconsin, continued to milk their herd of 70 cows in a tiestall barn at the ages of 80 and 72. Each morning the couple was in the barn by 3:30, with Henrietta milking and Don and their son, Tom, feeding. Don bought the family farm, which started in 1898, in 1966. Throughout the couple’s years of dairying, they have seen many changes in the dairy community, especially in milking equipment, moving from hand milking and buckets to a pipeline. That spring when Don broke his leg, Henrietta was not willing to sell the cows, and they found a way to continue dairying. At the time Don said he was not planning on selling the cows or farm anytime soon.

Love what youʼre doing, doing what you love
Joyce Orton became herdsperson for Gerald Herzog’s 70-cow dairy near Upsala, Minnesota, after years in and out of the dairy industry. Orton always knew she wanted to be a dairy farmer but when she and her husband, Dwight, sold their 60-cow herd in 1989 she had to make other plans. The couple moved close to Orton’s parents and bought their herd and rented their barn in 1992. By 1995, the cows were then sold again leading Orton to nd a job at Herzog’s dairy farm. At the same time, she and Dwight transformed their farm into a hobby farm with steers and horses.
Henning lives life to the fullest
Near Adrian, Minnesota, Laverne and Rosalia Henning raised his family and continued to farm with his youngest son, Andy. Laverne’s farming career started when he lost his dad at the age of 10 and started farming with his 11 siblings and mom. By the late 1940s, as he and Rosalia were planning their wedding, he signed up for the Air Force. In 1950, he was called back into active duty just three days after their wedding but was sent back home before getting deployed. In 1969 Laverne built a 48-stall stanchion barn that he and Andy upgraded years later in consideration of Andy’s 18-month-old son.
To help Wisconsin Spanish dairy workers and the Spanish dairy community to get the most current and up-to-date research information, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Division of Extension has developed the Dairy Spanish Webinar El “Break” Info-Lechero 2.0.
This Webinar series offers updates on a variety of dairy topics covering: reproduction data management, animal welfare, animal nutrition, genetics selection, environment and more. These webinars will occur every Wednesday, September through November from noon until 1 p.m. CST. The dairy Spanish webinars are going to be in Spanish only. For more information please visit dairy.extension.wisc.edu/.
Match Made In Heaven: Livestock + Crops is a collaboration of over 50 agriculture and natural resource groups in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. Participating organizations include crop and livestock associations, state and federal agencies, universities, soil and water groups, and both crop and livestock farmers. This project is a collaboration among groups that don’t always get to work together: crop and livestock associations, universities, public agencies, and conservation organizations. They are nding common ground and putting our heads together to move shared interests forward.
The eld day will take place, Oct. 3, 9:30 a.m. – 3 p.m., near Lodi, WI at the Ron Schoepp Farm. The events of the day will feature year-round custom grazing dairy heifers, grazing crop residues, cover crops in corn-soy-wheat-cover crops rotation and preventing soil nutrient loss next door to Lake Wisconsin.
Healthy calves are the foundation of a healthy, productive dairy herd. The 2024 Calf Care Connection workshop presented by Professional Dairy Producers will focus on the latest research and practices to prevent and manage some of the leading challenges to calf health, including pneumonia, scours and biosecurity risks.
One-day sessions of the workshop will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland, Wis., and again on Wednesday, Oct. 16, at Southwest Wisconsin Technical College in Fennimore, Wis. Each day, registration begins at 9 a.m. with the program concluding at 3:45 p.m. Simultaneous Spanish translation will be provided for the entire workshop.
Economic markers for dairy cattle reproductive performance headlines the Oct. 24 Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council webinar at 1 p.m. Victor Cabrera, University of Wisconsin-Madison professor and extension specialist in dairy management, will serve as the instructor for this free, one-hour webinar.
During the webinar, Cabrera will discuss how reproductive improvement results in higher milk productivity and, therefore, higher milk income over feed cost, more calf sales, and lower culling and breeding expenses. Therefore, as the reproductive efciency improves, the dairy herd’s net return increases. To help dairy managers and consultants make objective herd management decisions, customizable decision support tools should be used. These tools help users calculate the value of a pregnancy, the cost of a pregnancy loss, the economic value of improving the 21-day pregnancy rate, the cost of a day open, and their interactions with milk production and other productive, economic, and management traits.
Iowa dairy professionals, farmers and industry stakeholders are invited to join a unique two-day event this fall. The Iowa Dairy Industry Doubleheader will take place on Nov. 1-2, featuring a professional development workshop and a social networking tailgate co-hosted by the ISU Extension and Outreach Dairy Team and the Dairy Science Club at Iowa State University.
On Friday, Nov. 1, the event kicks off at the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association headquarters in Ankeny, with an afternoon session titled “Professional Development for Iowa Dairy Industry Consultants.” Beginning at 1:30 p.m., the program will offer hands-on learning opportunities and presentations from expert speakers on cutting-edge topics in dairy management. Space is limited, ensuring a highly interactive learning experience.
On Saturday, Nov. 2, the event moves to Jack Trice Stadium in Ames for the Iowa Dairy Industry Tailgate, a fun and casual gathering for students, faculty, industry professionals, farmers, and alumni. The tailgate will be held before the Iowa State Cyclones football game, with food, refreshments, and plenty of time to connect and network. The Iowa State Dairy Science Club will also be hosting its annual alumni reunion as part of this event. This event is sponsored by the Iowa State Dairy Association.

Tell us about your chapter. We are a rural school in northeastern Wisconsin. Erica Eickert, our advisor, came back to agriculture in Brillion this year, so we are in a growth phase in the chapter. Our goal for this year is to get students actively involved with all the opportunities FFA has to offer. We have 341 students enrolled at the high school and offer a wide variety of courses in agriculture to our students. Students will grow and manage our school greenhouse this year, have business and industry professionals come in to talk about potential career opportunities, grow lettuce and other produce via our hydroponics and aquaponics systems, and spend time in our school forest learning about our natural resources.
How does your chapter volunteer in the community throughout the year? Each year around the holidays, our chapter “adopts” local families in need to help them have a joy-lled season. We also host “Thank-a-Farmer” day at
our local Culvers and provide educational materials and activities to the public while visiting Culvers. We do highway clean-ups and are currently working on planning an agriculture day for younger students in our district.
What fundraisers does your chapter do throughout the year? Which is the most successful? We have two major fundraisers each year. In the fall, we sell fruit, meat, nuts and cheese. In the spring, we have our annual plant sale from our students in our greenhouse class. The fruit sale has been a long-standing tradition in Brillion and is our most successful fundraiser.
What are the biggest events of the year? Each year, we run a bingo night during National FFA Week in which we invite all members of the community and raise money for local places and/or individuals in need. Prizes are donated by local businesses for all in attendance. In the past few years, there have been several hundred members from the community in attendance.

What is unique about your chapter? One thing that stands out is that our FFA advisor was a student in Brillion. Mr. Gordie Gasch was her ag teacher, and he is still very active with our FFA. Each year, Mr. Gasch volunteers many, many hours to coach our poultry career development event team. Brillion FFA has won the state contest in poultry evaluation 19 times, dairy evaluation twice, meat evaluation twice, farm business management three times and market plan four times. We have also represented Wisconsin at the National FFA Convention. We are very blessed to have members of the community use their time and talents to serve our FFA members. This year, we currently have eight members training for the poultry CDE, and our goal is to continue to grow our chapter’s participation and eld at least ve CDE teams this year at the state event.
Tell us about your farm and family. In my family, I am the youngest of three boys. My family has a passion for agriculture. My oldest brother is an agronomist, my other brother is a rural loan specialist and my parents are very active in local agricultural organizations. I share my family’s passion for agriculture. I am a member of the Brillion FFA Chapter and New Horizons 4-H Club. My family and my uncle’s family are co-owners and operators of our family farm, Grand View Dairy Farm Inc. We have a milking herd of 1,400 dairy animals and crop 2,250 acres of land. My greatgrandfather purchased the family farm in 1917. My grandfather took over the family farm in 1955. In 1992, Grand View Dairy Farm Inc.
When was your chapter founded and how has it evolved? Our FFA chapter was founded in 1940. Like many chapters, it has evolved throughout the years from being all “farm boys” to being a very diverse group of students. In early years, FFA was centered on production agriculture, but currently our chapter has very few students who have lived on a farm their entire life. Sixty percent of our membership is female and about 40% of our membership are rst-year members. We fully expect our membership to increase over the next few months. Students involved in agriculture today have many exposures to things like leadership conferences, community service, business and industry tours, leadership development and career development events.

PRESIDENT
was formed. My dad and uncle are currently the third generation on the family farm.
Why did you join FFA? I joined FFA because of my older brothers. I watched them as they participated in FFA, and I liked seeing what they were doing. They attended chapter events and leadership workshops and were able to travel throughout the nation. When it was possible, I participated with them. I remember one year, the FFA had a oat in the Brillion Parade and the ag teacher gave me an FFA T-shirt to wear on the oat. I was so ecstatic to have an FFA shirt just like my brothers.
What is your role in the chapter? I have been a member of the FFA since I was in seventh grade. I have served as an FFA ofcer since my sophomore year in high school. I have also served as a committee chair for our chapter’s fruit sale fundraiser and community service bingo night. This year, we have a four-member ofcer team. Being a small team, we all work together to plan and carry out the chapter’s meetings, activities and events.
What FFA contests do you compete in? I have competed in several FFA contests. In middle school, I was on the FFA quiz bowl team. As
a freshman in high school, I was on the poultry evaluation judging team. Our team won the state competition, and we competed at the National FFA Convention placing silver. As a sophomore and junior, I competed in the extemporaneous speaking contest, and I plan to compete in it as a senior as well.
What do you look forward to most in the upcoming FFA year? This coming FFA year, I look forward to rebuilding our FFA chapter. Our chapter is in a transition phase. I look forward to getting students involved in our chapter by sharing what opportunities FFA has to offer and the experiences that I have had in FFA.
How has FFA shaped you as a person? FFA has shaped me as a person through the opportunities I participated in. By participating in career and leadership development events, leadership conferences and state and national conventions, I have learned about the diversity of agriculture, how to be a leader and how to network with people throughout the nation.
What are your duties on the farm? I am very fortunate to learn and experience different duties on the farm. I get to help out wherever needed. I help with working land, planting crops, cutting hay, packing haylage and corn silage, covering feed piles, equipment maintenance and lawn care.
