2025 FLOATING CROSS DRAW SNOW PLOWS
Our unique Skid steer and Utility tractor snow plows feature a Floating faceplate and an innovative “cross draw” design, with a dual direction hydraulic cylinder, which allows this plow to sit much closer to the machine and faceplate than a traditional A-frame style plow with a dual ram set-up. Because of our proven design, these plows have substantial amount of free movement, or “walk” when going over uneven terrain like a dirt road, side hills, around a pond, a loading dock or handicap ramp.
These plows INCLUDE a cross over relief valve to help protect the hydraulics from damage.

Luck discusses drones, improving eld health
By Dan Wacker dan.w@dairystar.com
WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. — Developing new technologies to improve eld health is an ever-evolving eld. One of the latest strategies is using unmanned aerial vehicles to provide a bird’s eye view.
Using UAV technology, crop consultants and farmers now have a new tool to jump on potential issues in the eld and improve crop health. Earlier identication of problem areas leads to earlier treatments and improves the overall health of the eld.
Brian Luck, an associate professor in biological systems engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, presented his ndings on using UAVs to monitor eld health and regrowth at the hay symposium presented by the Midwest Forage Association in February.
Luck discussed how he and his team utilized UAVs to monitor crops, specically corn and soybeans. He said their conclusions could be useful for alfalfa health and persistence as well.
“Drones provide an overhead visual of your elds and can help you cover more acres, compared to walking the elds,” Luck said. “Beginning to use a drone is a big investment. It’s like buying a tractor, but it can help you cover more irregularly shaped elds, or elds that are harder to get to.”
Luck showed pictures of a corneld during the early stages of growth. In the drone photo, the audience could surmise

where there were potential issues during planting. People could see less plant density in the middle of the eld, potential effects from wheel trafc and even monitor the fertilizer application.
“In 10 minutes of ying the drone, we can get a better visual of where the potential problems in our eld are,” Luck said. “I’ve recommended using drones to crop consultants who have come back to me and said that using a drone saves them hours per eld because it can provide a more specic area to look for potential issues.”
The UAV is a way to present a more consistent approach than walking a eld to determine where the eld might need extra help.
“When we look at our eld from our drone, we can see where we might have had some planter issues,” Luck said. “You can see how the nitrogen application didn’t reach the edge of the eld. There are tillage lines.”
Using UAVs, Luck and his team attempted to determine alfalfa’s persistence between cuttings, dependent on wheel trafc. Luck and his team monitored all the machines that went in and out of the eld for a separate study about how tire treads can affect persistence. The team took overhead photos immediately after harvest and 10 days after harvest and saw differences.
“We saw a direct correlation between our GPS-tracked truck that went directly across the eld,” Luck said. “We only had one vehicle do that, and there’s a path cutting across the eld with smaller alfalfa plants that were clearly affected by the tire trafc.”
The clear visual on the regrowth of that alfalfa helped prove tire treads effect alfalfa persistence.
Luck also discussed the ability to utilize UAVs to spray elds with pesti-
cides, fungicides or herbicides. A person applying products and operating a drone weighing more than 55 pounds needs to be a licensed drone pilot with a Federal Aviation Administration Part 107 license.
Fully loaded UAVs used for spraying can weigh 130-140 pounds and are advertised as having the ability to spray 53 acres per hour. Luck and his team said a more accurate estimation is 40 acres per hour, depending on the time it takes to reload the UAV.
“The sprayer we worked with was an atomizer,” Luck said. “It had a gap with a spinning plate that spread out what we were spraying. It wasn’t a pressure nozzle like we’re used to seeing with sprayers. It covered about a 30-foot swath. We found it worked better with low-volume applications like fungicides or insecticides.”
To test the UAV’s effectiveness,
Luck and his team ran a test plot with soybeans. They determined the portion of the eld with no fungicide application saw a reduced yield, while the portions of the eld sprayed with a fungicide, both traditionally and with the UAV, saw a similar yield increase when compared to the no-spray group.
The drones combated prevailing winds and provided an even spray in the eld because the UAV props itself as needed to counter wind.
In summary, the UAVs provide new technology to help better maintain the overall health of the elds. From identifying specic problem areas of the eld to helping limit the amount of damage that could be done by pests or weeds, UAV technology can be used by the agriculture industry to continue to provide the best feed possible.

Understanding the right t
Pizón, Plaster share key considerations for robots
By Sarah Middendorf sarah.m@star-pub.com
PAYNESVILLE, Minn. — There are many considerations for dairy producers who want to upgrade to robotic milking units.
Carolina Pizón and Stephanie Plaster spoke about some of the factors to evaluate before robotic milking units are implemented. Along with others, they spoke about robots Feb. 26 during the “Milking Robots: Are they the future?” meeting at Shady’s 55 Pub & Event Center in Paynesville.
“We know technology is a big investment,” Pizón said. “Our goal is to help dairy producers prepare, and provide resources to help them make informed, strategic and economically viable decisions when considering transitioning to any sort of automation or technology.”
Pizón and Plaster both work for the University of Wisconsin–Extension. Pizón is the dairy outreach specialist and Plaster is the farm management, business development outreach specialist.
Pizón has been working on ways to help dairy producers make more informed decisions about robotic systems. She and her colleagues worked with several producers already using automatic milking systems to learn the good, the bad and the ugly.
To gather information, they started with farm interviews with those who have an automatic milking system. Based on the interviews, they put together considerations interested producers could use.
“What we wanted to know rst was what motivates people to do the switch,” Pizón said.
When they talk to farmers, they heard that being able to ask questions and gather information from various producers has helped teach producers about robotic milking units.
Through interviews, Pizón and her coworkers wanted to know what producers have learned through their process, what benets they found and what challenges they faced through adoption. They also wanted to get a better understanding of rst-year challenges, advice they received from others, advice they would give others and plans for the future.
Pizón said they are still in the process of improving and making sure the information they have collected is useful to producers. However, they have been able to come up with important considerations for producers looking at implementing automation.
“The key to transition to automation is starting with the right questions,” Pizón said. “If you say, ‘Yes, I want to have robots on my farm,’ but you don’t even know what to ask, where to go or
… what you’re missing.”
Pizón said there are nine categories to ponder when thinking about implementing robots: business goals, costbenet, infrastructure, connectivity, labor and training, support, adaptability, stakeholder management and production.
During the presentation, attendees were given time to complete a robotic milking unit adoption preparation wheel activity. Pizón said this can help gure out what and who producers need to know. The wheel which has ve concentric circles is broken into nine quadrants, one for each category.
As producers are reviewing each category, they drew a dot in the respective inner circle where they felt their operation was positioned. If they felt condent that their operation was ready for robots in a specic category, they placed the dot in the outermost circle. Pizón said inner circles 1-3 mean producers may not be ready and need to work more on specic aspects before jumping into robots. The outermost circles 4-5 mean producers have a good understanding in the category.
Once each category is ranked, producers drew a line connecting their dots to create their specic preparation readiness wheel. The goal is to eventually have the operation at a point where all categories are at a ve for a full, symmetrical wheel.
“This is not to help you say, ‘Yes I am going to implement an automatic milking system or a robot,’” Plaster said. “This is to help smooth the transition.”
Along with gathering key considerations, some of the farms they worked with said user groups are helpful. Joining user groups through social media allows producers to see what a day in the life with robotic milking units would look like.
“As much peer-to-peer learning that you can do is one of the most helpful things,” Plaster said.
Pizón agreed.
“We all learn from each other,” Pizón said.

Dairies considered essential work places during pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic has caused many disruptions in people’s daily lives, but dairy farmers have been deemed essential, and employees are to report to work. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have laid out recommendations to stop the spread of the disease. Emerald Springs Dairy near Plainview, Minnesota, and Grotegut Dairy Farm Inc., near Newton, Wisconsin, both employ more than 20 employees and encourage employees to social distance, wash hands frequently and stay home when they are not feeling well.
A clear dairy direction
Robert and Jeannette Sheehan have been leaders in dairy organizations along with running their dairy, Sheeknoll Farms, near Rochester, Minnesota. Their excellence in breeding and showing cattle and volunteering in the industry led them to receive the Golden Graduate Award from the University of Minnesota Gopher Dairy Club in February 2020. Then, in March 2020, the Sheehans were inducted into the Minnesota Livestock Breeders’ Association Hall of Fame. The couple met and graduated from the University of Minnesota in the 1970s. Since then, Robert returned to his family’s farm near Rochester. The couple has served on boards for the Minnesota Holstein Association, Olmsted County 4-H, Olmsted County American Dairy Association and World Dairy Expo.
Robots right choice for Leedles
Jason Leedle and his family installed eight Lely A4 robotic milking units in 2012 at their farm, Black Cat Dairy, near Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Jason, his wife, Lindsay, his parents, Tom and Jennifer, his brother, Ryan, and his sister, Kristin Love, milk 480 crossbred cows and farm 1,000 acres. The Leedles said they noticed an immediate improvement in cow health, with production and pregnancy rate increasing.
Trade shows canceled as COVID-19 crisis continues
The coronavirus pandemic has quickly spread across the country and is making an impact. The Central Plains Dairy Expo in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, set for March 24-26, 2020, has been canceled. Likewise, the Wisconsin Public Service has also canceled their show set for March 31- April 2 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Both shows typically bring in thousands of attendees and limitations have been put in place on social gatherings of large groups of people.

Making an investment
The Kerns — Ken and Lisa and their son, Andrew, and his wife, Allana — milk 50 cows at a farm site the family purchased eight miles from their farm. Andrew and Allana decided to come home to farm in 2013. The family built a new double-6 parlor and remodeled the existing freestall barn at the new site. Prior to the new barn, the Kerns milked in a tiestall barn at the 16acre site they purchased in 2001.

Skipping the parlor
Gary and Barb Schumacher and their son and daughter-in-law, Chad and Amy, and their children installed two Lely robotic milking units at their 111-cow dairy farm near Plainview, Minnesota. The Schumachers moved into their new barn in December 2014, transitioning the cows from their 55cow tiestall barn. Their new facility had a tunnel ventilated, sand-bedded, 3-row, 124-stall freestall barn. The Schumachers said their pounds of milk per cow increased by more than 20 pounds after making the switch to the new set-up.

Weathering the winter
Tim Anderson milks 80 cows with his parents, Gerald and Diane, near Evansville, Minnesota. In the fall of 2004, the family switched from milking the cows in a tiestall barn to a swing-12 parlor and the cows are housed on an outdoor bedding pack. The family built the new parlor on the farm site where
Tim lives, which is half a mile from his parents’ farm. The farm site at Tim’s place only had a hay shed for out buildings originally. In the rst month of the transition, somatic cell count dropped in half.
Hope for the next generation
As long as Tim Looney can remember, he has had a fascination with dairy farming. Growing up next door to the 60-cow dairy farm operated by his grandparents, Ron and Shirley Shelley, and his uncle near Princeton, Minnesota, Looney spent as much time at the farm as he could. When Looney was a toddler, Ron paid him $1 a week to feed calves. By the time Looney was 4-years-old, he was able to purchase his own calf. Looney had plans on farming full time with his grandpa and uncle after high school and taking over the family farm.

One-stop bird u resource center lls information gaps
News and guidance on avian inuenza is scattered across government and state agency websites, and rampant misinformation is spread across the internet. In response, Cornell has launched a comprehensive resource that offers a one-stop clearinghouse for the most current and trustworthy information on bird u.
A new online Avian Flu Resource Center provides reliable and accessible information for members of the general public, farmers, wildlife professionals, state and
public health agency partners, and veterinarians.
“We’ve tried to make it easy for people to go right to whatever their main interest may be; whether it’s human health, wildlife health, dairy, poultry, cats or dogs, they can readily access what they want,” said Alex Travis, director of Cornell Public Health and chair of the Department of Public & Ecosystem Health in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
The resource center provides an avian inuenza fact sheet; links to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and U.S. Department of Agriculture avian u sites; and pages for those interested in taking a deep dive into current information on human health, wildlife, dairy, poultry, cats and dogs, and research.
When it comes to wildlife, the new resource center aims to ll an important gap in providing information on different species.
“Because the virus can be transmitted between wildlife, poultry and cattle, it is important to have one place where you can get all that information” said Krysten Schuler, assistant research professor in the Department of Public & Ecosystem Health and director of the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab in CVM.
“Cornell is able to update maps of where the virus is found in wildlife based on results that we’re generating in-house at the Animal Health Diagnostic Center,” Schuler said. “Being timely with the information is important to let people know about wildlife health and risks of exposure to themselves, their pet cats and their livestock.”
The Cornell Wildlife Health Lab maintains key partnerships with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets, the NYS Department of Health and New York City Health, all of which help Cornell provide the most current updates, Schuler said.
Stearns County farm family named 2025 Groundbreaker of the Year honorable mention
Alex and Kirsten Udermann from Meadowbrook Dairy, Inc., in Stearns County, Minnesota, have been recognized as honorable mention recipients in the
2025 GroundBreaker of the Year awards by Compeer Financial, a Farm Credit cooperative serving the upper Midwest.
The awards program honors young, beginning or small operation farmers who demonstrate resilience, innovation and dedication to advancing agriculture and their local communities.
The Udermanns run a diversied, multi-generation farm with dairy cows, feeder steers and row crops, farming with their family including Alex’s parents, John and Mary Lou, his brother, Jake and wife Sam. They also provide custom manure hauling and custom no-till planting and cover crop seeding services, in addition to direct-to-consumer beef sales. Their leading conservation practices helped earn Kirsten the honor of Women Farmer of the Year at the 2024 Minnesota Farmfest event.
The farm has implemented a variety of conservation and regenerative agriculture practices to conserve water, improve soil health and biodiversity, optimize nutrient management, and educate fellow farmers and the public. They were recognized as the rst farm in the state of Minnesota to achieve all ve endorsements through the Minnesota Ag Water Quality Certication Program: integrated pest management, soil health, wildlife, irrigation water management and climate smart. Their farm also was awarded the 2024 Stearns County Outstanding Conservationist and the 2024 Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation District Outstanding Conservationist. They also were a top four nalist for the Minnesota Leopold Conservation Award.
“We believe that continuing to focus on these conservation practices will make for a better today and a better future,” Alex said. They host eld days, lead discussions at industry meetings and participate in local cooperative efforts to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable agriculture. They also donate meat to community efforts and volunteer their time to educate youth about how food is grown and how livestock are raised.

Alex served on a panel discussion at a recent Compeer GroundBreakers conference, sharing his success, lessons learned and advice for the other young, beginning and small operation farmer attendees.
Understanding farmers’ mental health challenges, seeking solutions
Farming is more than just physically demanding—it can be mentally, emotionally, and nancially challenging too. Farm families and rural communities navigate a complex web of nancial, social, and environmental challenges, which can contribute to elevated rates of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Recognizing the growing need to address this issue and provide resources, Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center research project teams are leading an innovative research project to better understand farmers’ mental health.
This rst-of-its-kind study focuses on how farmers decide to seek help, their help-seeking behaviors, and the factors—both personal and external— that inuence these decisions.
Farmers living in Minnesota (focus on Fillmore and Wright counties), South Dakota (focus on Brown and Minnehaha counties) or Wisconsin (focus on Clark and Dodge counties) are asked to conduct a one-hour interview via zoom or phone call. All participants will recieve $50 for their time and all answers will be kept anonymous.
Farmers can visit the UMASH website to schedule an interview or request more information and a paper sign-up form by contacting the project manager, Sarah Ruszkowski at sarah. ruszkowski@psu.edu; 814-865-4982.
National Dairy Shrine elects new board members, ofcers
At its annual meeting the National Dairy Shrine appointed two new board members and welcomed new leadership to the board of directors.
The person who will lead the organization as president in 2025 is Tina Larson, from Pine Island, Minnesota. Born and raised on Havana Heights Guernsey farm in Steele County, Minnesota, Tina is currently the senior advertising specialist with World Wide Sires. In this role she works closely with the marketing teams in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Switzerland and Canada to create and implement their advertising campaigns. In addition, she is the main graphic designer for the World Wide Sires corporate advertising campaigns and works closely with the rest of the advertising team to coordinate all global messaging for the company.
Tina joined the board of National Dairy Shrine in 2019 after a call from then executive secretary Dr. David Selner. Feeling the need to give back to the organization that had awarded her scholarships in her youth, she happily agreed. “Working with the rest of the board of directors, the executive board and the executive secretary has been a profound and valuable experience,” she says. “The mission of National Dairy Shrine toiInspire the future, honor the past and preserve the history of the dairy industry inspired me to serve as the president for the coming year.”
The organization also selected Jodi Hoynoski of Gill, Massachusetts as president-elect to lead the organization starting in 2026. Jodi grew up on Lost Elm Farm in Berlin, Wis. and began her career as a nutrition consultant for Vita Plus Corporation in Columbus, Wis. before moving to Brattleboro, Vt. for a 21-year career at Holstein Association USA, the world’s largest dairy breed organization. As executive director, identication & member services and
Holstein Foundation programs manager, she led many areas of the business from customer service and ear tags to legislative affairs and international marketing. She most enjoyed her role in running the renowned Young Dairy Leaders Institute. Jodi currently works as the global head of genetic excellence for Cobb-Vantress, a poultry genetics company owned by Tyson Foods.
Joining the board of directors are Nick Randle and Benjamin Styer. Randle is the U.S. senior marketing lead at Zoetis for dairy productivity and milk quality and a Red and White Holstein breeder from Sterling, Massachusetts. He lives there with his wife, Ashley. Originally from Indiana, he and his family have exhibited nationally through their operation, Starlight Genetics. They have been fortunate to have owned and exhibited All-American cattle while winning numerous championships and breeder and exhibitor awards. Nick also serves as president of Red & White Dairy Cattle Association and is on the noard of trustees for the Holstein Foundation.
A senior at the University of Minnesota studying animal science with a dairy production emphasis, Benjamin Styer is a student representative to the board of directors. Styer grew up on his family’s dairy farm, Alfalawn Farm, in Menomonie, Wis. Through 4-H, Ben’s team won the national contest at the World Dairy Expo, granting him the ability to judge internationally in Scotland and Ireland. At the University of Minnesota, he competed on the collegiate dairy judging team. Highlights of Ben’s judging career include being the high individual overall at the North American International Livestock Exposition and National Intercollegiate World Dairy Expo contests, both contests that his team won. Ben has exhibited at all levels of competition and enjoys being home to work with animals when time allows. He hopes to have a career related to dairy cattle genetics before eventually returning home to his family’s dairy farm.

Milbank
Milbank FFA members gather Oct. 31, 2024, in Milbank, South Dakota. The members were handing out candy to trick-or-treaters.
Number of members: 157 Milbank, South Dakota Grant County
Tell us about your chapter. The FFA chapter was established in 1943. We have a total of 157 FFA members, ranging from grades 8-12. We have eight Milbank FFA ofcers and seven junior FFA ofcers. We participate in many activities at the local, state and national levels. We have students who participate in Valley Queen Cheeseburger Day, summer leadership camps, making a homecoming oat each year, the Northeast Region Land and Range Contest, Jackrabbit Invite, Little International, Cancer Walk Project Donation, Lake Area College Weld Off, and career development events and leadership development events at the regional, state and national levels. We have also had students participate in the national FFA band.
How does your chapter volunteer in the community throughout the year? The Milbank FFA members volunteer at Cheeseburgers Day. Valley Queen organized this event to celebrate June Dairy Month. The FFA members helped wrap cheeseburgers and helped with the serving line. During FFA Week, the Milbank FFA ofcers serve an appreciation breakfast for teachers, volunteer remen, law enforcement and emergency medical technicians. The Milbank FFA ofcer team partners with the Milbank Chamber of Commerce agriculture committee for the agriculture appreciation breakfast, which occurs during National Ag Week. The agriculture committee prepares the breakfast and the ofcers serve it to the community.
Milbank FFA members assemble cheeseburgers June 4, 2024, during Valley Queen Cheeseburger Day in Milbank, South Dakota. This event celebrated June Dairy Month.

visor served was ve years. Two advisors have served in their role for over 30 years. The rst female FFA advisor, Sara Colombe, came in August 2022. Having consistent FFA advisors in this role has been essential in the success of the FFA chapter. Since 1947, the FFA chapter has made over 50 appearances with CDE and LDE teams at the National FFA Convention.
Tell us about your farm and family. The pre of my family farm is Don-Mil-Dale Holsteins. We proudly milk 40 registered Holstein cows and raise replacement heifers and cows we sell. My grandfather, Donald Schweer, and my grandmother, Mildred Schweer, founded our dairy farm in 1961 after my grandfather nished serving in the Navy for four years. They started off with 17 cows until an addition was built onto the barn in 1976, allowing 40 cows to be tied up over the years. We currently own 240 acres of land where we plant corn, soybeans, alfalfa and wheat. In 1982, my farm was the rst in Grant County to successfully complete an embryo transfer from a cow, which resulted in ve calves. My parents are Richard and Michelle Schweer. I have two siblings, Kendra and Kaden.
When was your chapter founded and how has it evolved? The FFA chapter was established in 1943. Throughout the years, there have been a total of eight FFA advisors. 2023-2024 was the rst year in which we added a co-advisor. We continue to grow in FFA members each year.
Kayla Schweer
OFFICER POSITION: SENTINEL
What is your role in the chapter? As the sentinel, my duty is to assist the president in maintaining order, keep the meeting room and paraphernalia in proper condition, welcome guests and visitors, and keep the meeting room comfortable. As a chapter ofcer, I bring up new ideas for our chapter to do.
Why did you join FFA? For years, it’s been a tradition for my family to be involved in FFA, which greatly impacted my decision. From older students in FFA and my family, I learned that this organization offered a variety of opportunities and skills. I mainly joined to increase my skills in public speaking, leadership, teamwork and other skills that would bene t my future. Coming from a farming background, I have been active in the industry but saw FFA as a way to become more involved in the future of agriculture.
How has FFA shaped you as a person? FFA has shaped me as a person in various ways. This organization has taught me more than agricultural knowledge; it has impacted my personal development. It has made me procient in my leadership, teamwork and public speaking skills. Additionally, it has given me more career options and experience in different areas. FFA has affected me in the long-term and will help me throughout my entire life.
What FFA contests do you compete in? In the past, I have participated in the dairy cattle evaluation and management and chapter conduct of meeting contests. As of right now, I compete in the veterinary science and employment skills contests. In 2023, I competed at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis for dairy cattle evaluation and management, where my team received a silver medal. Along with that, I competed in the FFA contest at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. For the next few years, I hope to try more contests.
What do you look forward to most in the upcoming FFA year? In the upcoming FFA year, I look forward to competing. During my competitions, I have a chance to learn more about that area and gain more knowledge, which I enjoy. Not only that, but I meet new people at almost every contest I attend. I love getting to know people more who have the same hobbies as me. I’m very grateful my chapter is able to attend multiple contests for this. Additionally, I look forward to all of the community service opportunities my town has to offer, allowing more projects to be completed. I enjoy giving back to the community that helps out a lot with my chapter. I believe that we are lucky to have very active alumni and volunteers who are willing to step up and help support the future of agriculture.
What are your duties on the farm? My duties in the morning on weekends or no-school days consist of feeding bottle calves, heifers and cows. I either run the skid steer or the tractor with the total mixed ration mixer. I normally watch gates if someone else is running the equipment. Next, my evening duties include feeding bottle calves once again and making sure they have water and clean bedding. Occasionally, I help my parents with milking if I am not working or do not have extracurricular activities. After milking, I wash milkers, push feed up again and uff the bedding for the cows again to make sure they are comfortable for the night. During the summer, I drive hay racks around the elds when we pick up bales. Lastly, I help ll our loft with straw. Overall, I mainly ensure the cattle are in a clean space with the stuff they need and are comfortable. I make sure my parents are well taken care of, and I try to help as much as I can with anything.
What are your future plans? After high school, I currently plan on attending South Dakota State University for animal science. Afterward, I will further my education in my desired eld. Right now, I have shown interest in genetics and the veterinary eld. My parents have played a huge role in my interest in genetics for numerous years, as we breed for type cows and certain characteristics. As my dad says, “I like to milk pretty cows.” When we have veterinarians out at the farm, I enjoy learning from them and what they do. Working at my local veterinary clinic has taught me a lot and has exposed me to the environment. Additionally, I have a huge heart for animals and want to help them as much as I can. Overall, I plan on going into a eld for something that I can bring back to our farm and put more work into it to make it even greater.
When do you do chores? I milk cows every night and sometimes in the morning.
What is your favorite and least favorite chore? Vaccinating cattle is my favorite chore and my least favorite is forking out pens.
What project do you enjoy helping your parents with on the farm? Picking up parts at stores.
Tell us a fun memory you have of living on the farm. When I was around 5 and my little sister, Marnie, was 3, we were chasing the cows up with my dad in the back of the milking barn. One cow tail was sticking straight up and Marnie walked under it and
the cow pooped all over her. Then my dad had to wash her in the sink of the parlor.
What is your favorite animal on your farm? I don’t have a favorite, but I have a least favorite, and that is No. 94. She always kicks me and is horrible getting in the parlor.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I have no idea what I want to be. I would like to work somewhere with agriculture though.
If you had a farm, describe what it would look like. If I had a farm, it would be run completely by robots so there
is less work for me.
What is your favorite game to play on the farm? I enjoy when we play hide and seek with our cousins.
What is your favorite meal that your mom or dad makes? I enjoy when we grill hamburgers.
What is your favorite thing to do off the farm with your family? I enjoy participating in our 4-H club and FFA chapter.

Protecting with biosecurity, knowledge
Culhane, Schuft discuss H5N1 at the
Carver County Dairy Expo
By Emily Breth emily.b@star-pub.com
NORWOOD YOUNG AMERICA, Minn. — As farmers and researchers continue to learn more about H5N1 and how it spreads and affects animals, Marie Culhane, DVM, and Abby Schuft, Ph.D., shared ndings within the dairy industry.
The pair presented Feb. 17 at the Carver County Dairy Expo at Central High School in Norwood Young America. They discussed what the virus is, the effects of the virus, how it transmits between species, and, most importantly, how to stop the virus with biosecurity and prevention.
How viruses change and adapt was the rst thing Culhane discussed. She said a virus can adapt with every new host it infects. When the virus adapts, this can cause bigger issues because the virus can become more virulent or stronger, take less time to infect a host and have greater potential to spread to humans or a new species.
“I want everybody to understand u viruses are shared between multiple species and
that’s something I’ve studied my entire career as a veterinarian,” Culhane said.
Culhane explained the ways a virus can transfer between humans, pigs, chickens, turkeys, wild birds and now cattle. She also explained how viruses moving between species has been going on for over 30 years with H5 and longer with other types of u viruses.
conceptual, structural and operational.
She said the H5N1 virus was initially introduced into dairy herds by wild birds. This was accomplished through droppings of a carrier bird that contaminated water or feed sources, were carried on clothing, or through direct contact with an infected animal or a tool used for manure or milk. Once H5N1 was on the farm, people, animal and equipment movement spread the virus.
“It’s not just for emergencies or just an extreme practice, but it’s also not wearing a hazmat suit,” Schuft said. “It’s everyday prevention, like routine vaccination, pest control and having a sick or hospital pen.”
Schuft said conceptual biosecurity includes knowing the physical landscape of the farm, including water sources, nearby farms and their animals, and knowing what vehicles regularly enter the farm and from where.
Structural biosecurity is looking at how things are built and structured on the farm. Schuft encouraged attendees to look at their milking and housing facilities.
spreading. Schuft said there are many regular practices farmers do that are considered biosecurity.
This includes using teat dip, washing down the milking systems, having a hospital or sick pen and quarantining animals. These practices all help prevent viruses or lessen the blow of a disease caused by a virus.
“This is the least dependable aspect of biosecurity because we all can make our own decisions,” Schuft said. “We might know we’re supposed to wear clean clothes to the farm, but we choose not to one time. That’s a conscious decision that could change the outcome.”
“It is not good to get it, but there are things you can do to prevent it and things you could do to stop the spread,” Culhane said.
Schuft then took over the presentation to talk about biosecurity and what farmers might already be doing or what they could start doing to help protect their herd. She said there are three main types of biosecurity:
“(An example is the doors to the) milking parlor,” Schuft said. “There’s a door from the outside, then there’s going to be a door to the inside. Those doors are going to be structural things that can contribute to biosecurity.”
Operational biosecurity is the practices farmers, employees and others who are commonly on the farm do to prevent disease from entering the farm or
She also said it is important to wear clean or non-barn clothes when going out in public. This is important because it can reduce the risk of bringing anything farmers might have on their farm to others. In return, having barn-specic clothes can help farmers know they will not be bringing anything into the barn with them.
The pair said it is important to make sure people on farms communicate what their policies are for biosecurity, so everyone knows what they need to do. Keeping animals healthy is a top priority on all farms and new ways of doing this are always being researched to improve routines and processes.
“We all need to do our part,” Culhane said.
