Berryman Rd. resurfaced, ready for recreation Construction on Berryman Road, also known as Washington County Road 207, has been completed and the road is now open again for public use. Berryman Road is the main access to the Berryman Campground and National Recreation Trail, located at the site of a 1930’s Civilian Conservation Corps camp of the same name. The construction project was the result of a partnership between Washington County, the Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, Missouri Department of Transportation, and the USDA Forest Service. The Washington County commissioners applied for and received a Federal Lands Access Program grant in 2015. This program provides funds for projects on Federal Lands Access Transportation Facilities that are located on, adjacent to, or provide access to federal lands – in this case Mark Twain National Forest. The partners either provided matching funds or engineer-
ing expertise for the design and construction of the road. Mark Twain National Forest supported this project from the start and helped secure additional funding for the project. Reconstruction work was designed to improve the road’s driv-
ing surface to Berryman Campground and Trail, and addressed safer access for school buses, emergency services, mail carriers, and local residents. Prior to construction, Berryman Road was paved for only about one mile from
Highway 8 before switching to a gravel surface. It had become rutted, the asphalt surface had been broken down, and the edges of the road were soft. It is now paved from Highway 8 to Berryman See Road on Page 7

Lady Eagles 2017 basketball tournament a tough one by Brian Ingalls Sports Writer brian@mvstandard.com
It was really anybody’s ballgame. The Lady Eagles basketball team entered the Liberty Girls tournament last week as the fifth seed in a tournament that featured a slew of good teams and several close contests. The Lady Eagles came up on the short end of two of those contests, however, falling to Hartville 40-31, and eventually getting edged out 59-54 by the Eminence Redwings for Consolation. Both games, could have easily gone the other way. It was a strong collection of teams, especially at the top. First-place in the tournament belonged to the Bay Yellow Jackets whose closest game was a 13-point victory over Alton in the semi-finals. They advanced to defeat Thayer 6133 in the championship. On the other side of the ledger, the Koshkonong Blue Jays struggled in their two losses. In the middle, however, were five teams including the Liberty Lady Eagles that were all capable of beating the other. Hartville, Alton, and Thayer came into the tournament with winning records and some impressive victories. The Lady Bobcats from Thayer were also undefeated. The Eminence Lady Redwings were playing some of their best basketball of the year as well. The result was an evenly matched field, and
the Liberty Lady Eagles were right in the mix. The Eagles continued to have the one-two punch of Piper Francis and Jaci Mantel. Francis averaged 26 points a game, never scoring less than 20 points in any contest. Mantel was a force inside all weekend and averaged 13 points a game. The Eagles got good contributions from Kamryn Gastineau who scored eight against Koshkonong and nine more against Eminence. Marissa Berry, Madison Berry, Trinity Clark, and others also added baskets, while Kinley
Richards and Taylor Randolph saw some action as well. The most glaring problem for the Lady Eagles, however, was free-throw shooting. In the opening loss to Hartville, the Lady Eagles made just eight out of 23 free throw attempts. They finished the tournament shooting 45 percent from the free-throw line, something that certainly could have changed the direction of the tournament in the first game at least. In fact, a few breaks here and there, and the Lady Eagles would have been playing Bay in the championship. Instead,

after falling to Hartville in the opening round, Liberty was edged out by Eminence in the Consolation game. Meanwhile, Bay handed Thayer their first loss of the season in the championship and did so convincingly. Hartville escaped with a win over Alton 54-49 to take third place, in a game that became a free-throw war. The two teams combined to shoot 67 free-throws, but despite sinking an amazing 27 of 31 from the line, Alton couldn’t quite catch Hartville. Speaking of close games, the Lady Eagles were frustratingly close. In the opening game against fourth-seed Hartville, both teams started slowly, playing to a 7-7 first quarter tie. Mantel had two of those baskets, while Francis added another and a free throw shot. In the second quarter, Francis started to catch fire, hitting a three-pointer and two more baskets as the Eagles took a 1715 halftime lead. Marissa Berry was the only other player to score for Liberty in the second quarter. Third quarters have been difficult this season for the Lady Eagles, and last week was no exception. Sadie and Emily Chisum combined for 10 points for Hartville in the third as Liberty was outscored 12-4 and Hartville took a six-point lead. Liberty was only two of nine from the free throw line in the third. They improved in the fourth as Francis made four of five from the line, but the two

Chisum girls combined for all 13 of Hartville’s points to advance with a 40-31 victory. On the left side of the bracket, the Eagles took care of business against Koshkonong on Friday night, jumping out to a 21-7 lead. Francis had all but two of those points, hitting three, three-point shots and five more baskets in the first quarter. She scored nine more points in the second as the Lady Eagles took a 54-15 halftime lead over the Blue Jays. Francis wasn’t alone as Mantel erupted for 14 points in the second quarter, and Gastineau added six more. The bench got involved in the second half as the starters took a break. Richards came off the bench for five points in the second half, and Randolph added a fourth quarter bucket as well. Liberty coasted into the Consolation game with a 79-24 win over Kosh. The Eminence Lady Redwings were waiting for them, and it was a better Redwings team than the one Liberty had beaten by 15 points on December 8. Thursday night, Eminence took third-seed Alton down to the wire before falling behind and losing 68-58 at the end. The Lady Redwings took out their frustration on Dora the following night, crushing the Falcons 68-48 and advancing to face Liberty. The first quarter went back and forth as senior Madison Keeling led Eminence with five baskets for 10 points and the Lady Redwings took a 1514 lead. Liberty got two threepoint shots from Francis, plus two baskets by Gastineau, and another from Clark. Madison Berry added two free throws. Liberty needed to keep it up and did in the second quarter after Marissa Berry and Clark
each sank a three, and Mantel and Francis made three baskets each. It was a 34-30 Liberty lead at halftime. But here came the third quarter. The Eagles came out of the locker room stone cold, making just one basket and getting outscored 15-4 as Eminence suddenly led by seven, 45-38 as the fourth quarter started. Again the Redwings were led by Keeling who had eight points in the third, with another five coming from Sydney Williams. In the fourth quarter, Williams sank six out of eight free throws, and the Lady Redwings were 10 of 14 overall in the fourth quarter as they tried to put the game away. The Eagles countered with baskets from Marissa Berry, Gastineau, Richards, Mantel, and Francis. One of those baskets by Francis was a threepoint shot as the Eagles cut the lead to just four in the final minutes. Even a questionable fifth foul that sent Mantel to the bench didn’t stop the Eagles as Richards came into the game and immediately drove for an inside basket. In the end, however, the eight fouls called against the Eagles in the fourth quarter and free-throw shooting of the Redwings, gave Eminence a 59-54 Consolation victory. It was close, though. Anyone’s ballgame.

Based loosely on the poaching of the large bull that was killed and mutilated a bit over a year ago, it addresses many concerns of the repatriation of the elk herd to Missouri as well as the responsibilities of all who enjoy the outdoors. The book will be the first in a series
of mystery novels set in the Ozarks. Mansfield will read some select passages and also address some of the issues raised in the novel. He will sign books and answer questions about the research involved in the book’s writing. The event will take place at the Mtn.

Plains Bank and Trust Company. Gohn added, “Together, we put the best interest of our customers above all and provide the best financial solutions coupled with a high touch service. “This partnership is built upon a strong foundation as both companies have been locally owned and managed since inception and share a dedication to remaining independent. Our two companies have longevity in, and remain committed to, the communities that we serve,” said Gohn. “Central Trust Company has always adhered to the “fiduciary standard”, meaning we always put the best interest of our clients first. Because our services are not commission based, we are always able to provide
customized investment and planning advice without conflicts of interest. These tenants are the very foundation by which West Plains Bank and Trust Company and Central Trust Company operate.” said Scott Kellett, President and Chief Executive Officer of Central Trust Company. The new partnership with Central Trust Company was approved during West Plains Bank and Trust Company’s November Board of Directors meeting. Central Trust Company is now accepting appointments in West Plains and will conduct client meetings upon request, and at regular intervals, to ensure that clients never have to travel to meet with their wealth management team.
Hang in there America
“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.” That is the oath I stood, raised my right hand and swore to uphold before god and the American people this Tuesday as the 115th Congress convened. This oath is something I take very seriously. Hearing those words this week reminded me that our 45th President, Donald J. Trump will very soon raise his right hand and take an oath of his own in less than 14 days. Soon thereafter he will layout his vision for rebuilding our economy, restoring personal freedoms and liberties and getting the government off the backs and out of the lives of so many families, farmers and small business owners. This week started the congressional work needed to lay the groundwork for our new President to hit the ground running on day one. The very first action we took was to strengthen the balance of power outlined in our Constitution and give power back to the people by taking the authority to legislate and regulate out of the hands of federal bureaucrats. Over the past 8 years, unelected Washington bureaucrats have run amuck under the Obama Administration, imposing thousands of unnecessary federal regulations that are crushing American families, small businesses and all of rural America. Americans simply cannot continue to survive under the weight of the heavy hand of the federal government. In fact, the Obama administration has attempted to force through hundreds of “midnight regulations” on their way out the door. That is why I helped pass two pieces of legislation this week that will stop the outgoing administration from further hurting the American people. The passage of the Midnight Rules Relief Act and the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act paved the way for the restoration of the Constitution under the Trump administration. President Trump will also hit the ground running on day one in the White House following his inauguration. Instead of spending Inauguration Day parading through the streets of Washington DC for hours before hopping from one celebrity filled Inauguration ball to the next as his predecessor did, Trump has promised to spend the first few hours of his presidency actually doing the job he was elected to do – changing the direction of this country for the American people. Trump has broken with tradition by requesting that his inauguration parade be shorter than presidents of the past and reducing the number of public events and appearances. In comparison, President Obama attended a whopping 10 balls following his second inauguration in 2009. In a meeting I had with Vice-President elect Mike Pence this week, I heard the same eagerness to get to work – the same refreshing zeal for putting the needs of Americans first, not the needs of a bloated government. We have a lot of work to do to clean up the mess the Obama Administration created in our country, but President-elect Trump will waste no time on January 20th getting to work. You won’t see President Trump basking in the glory of his new title as commander and chief of the United States atop a float in Washington or rubbing elbows with celebrities at fancy inaugural balls. Instead his first hours in office will be behind a desk, repealing some of the worst unconstitutional regulatory overreaches President Obama and his liberal allies have concocted. Congress began the process of restoring the power of our Constitution this week, paving the way for President Trump once he takes the oath of office. Americans only need to hang in there for a few more days, then it’ll be a matter of hanging on as we watch a President who is excited to get to work at a rapid pace to make America great again.

State Rep. Robert Ross to lead House Professional Registration and Licensing Committee State Representative Robert Ross was recently selected by House Speaker Todd Richardson to chair the House Professional Registration and Licensing Committee for the 99th General Assembly. Richardson delivered an Opening Day address that emphasized a need for improving Missouri’s businesses climate. Richardson said he has tasked Ross’s committee with examining the state’s regulation and licensure requirements with the goal of crafting legislation
to remove the unnecessary government regulations that stifle innovation and job creation. Ross said he is excited to have the opportunity to take on an issue that impacts so many people across the state, and one that is so vital to Missouri’s economy. “I share Speaker Richardson’s vision that the role of government isn’t to create jobs, and we’ve seen numerous examples over the past eight years of how government can regulate businesses out of our state.
Hard-working Missourians create jobs. Government’s role is to create a stable foundation that balances consumer protection while promoting entrepreneurship and innovation.” said Ross, R-Yukon. He added, “I look forward to the challenge of working with my committee to thoroughly examine our regulatory and licensing framework with the goal of making improvements that will remove the barriers that are stifling growth. Missouri is open for business.”

Disability awareness theme of 2017 film series in West Plains Films that bring attention to the daily experiences of people with disabilities is the theme of the 18th annual February Film Series hosted by the University/Community Programs (U/CP) Department at Missouri State University-West Plains. All films will be shown free of charge beginning at 6:30 p.m. Thursdays in the civic center theater during the month of February 2017, organizers said. Doors will open at 6 p.m. “This year’s theme was chosen with the idea of inclusiveness in mind,” said U/ CP Director Brenda Polyard. “We hope these films and the discussions that follow
will give attendees an idea of what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes.” The series begins Feb. 2 with a showing of the Academy Award-winning “The King’s Speech.” The film, which stars Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter, is based on the true story of the Queen of England’s father, King George VI (Firth), and his remarkable friendship with maverick Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Rush). When George unexpectedly becomes king following the abdication of his brother, Edward, Logue helps the king find a voice with which to lead the na-
tion into war. Nominated for 12 awards, the film received the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Direction, Best Writing/Original Screenplay and Best Actor for Firth’s portrayal of King George VI in 2011. The film is rated R. On Feb. 9, the series will continue with another Academy Award-winning true story, “The Miracle Worker.” Based on William Gibson’s Broadway play and retaining its acclaimed cast, including Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, Arthur Penn’s film tells the story of Helen Keller (Duke), an Alabama girl struck blind and deaf as a baby after an elevated fever. Several years later, her
Missouri’s road struggles continue by Benjamin Herrold Sports Columnist These are strange times for Missouri basketball. Missouri lost 71-66 at Georgia Saturday, but the game was most noteworthy for a scuffle as the teams left the court at halftime. A few assistant coaches even got involved in the shoving and verbal exchange. Missouri (5-9, 0-2 in SEC through Sunday) led at the half after a sleepwalking, turnover-filled first half by Georgia (10-5, 2-1 SEC). But the emotional altercation appeared to wake Bulldogs up. Realizing in horror they were losing at home to the worst team in the conference, Georgia quickly went to work addressing that situation, supported by a freshly energized crowd. Missouri showed some fight themselves, pardon the pun, hanging in the game until the end. But continuing the strange theme, the Tigers, statistically one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the country, nevertheless heaved an astounding 36 three-point attempts, tying a single game school
record. Missouri made just six of them, which begs the question why they kept shooting them at such a furious clip. Players not named Terrance Phillips made just 1 of 24 threes. In any event, it was Missouri’s 24th straight SEC road loss and 27th straight road loss overall. After the Georgia game, Missouri’s road win drought stood at 1,076 days, nearly three full years. But for pure oddity, few aspects of the program compare to home games at Mizzou Arena these days. The crowds are almost comically sparse, understandable given the team’s three-season swoon. These are the grim diehards, perhaps people who live nearby and got free tickets, or unfortunate people who have already bought tickets, and darn it, they’re going to use them. Through Sunday, Missouri had lost four home games in a row, which not too long ago was a two- or three-year home loss total. Players warm up before an almost vacant arena. Some concession stands are closed for being spectacularly unneeded,
parents employ Annie Sullivan (Bancroft), a partially-blind woman who teaches Helen how to communicate through sign language after first separating the girl from her over-protective parents. Nominated for five Academy Awards in 1963, the film earned two Oscar statuettes – one for Bancroft for Best Actress and another for Duke for Best Supporting Actress. “The Miracle Worker” is not rated. The series will continue on Feb. 16 with “The Soloist,” another true-life story starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey, Jr. Directed by Joe Wright and written by Susannah Grant, the film tells the story of Nathaniel Ayers (Foxx), a former cello prodigy whose bouts with schizophrenia landed him on the streets after two years of schooling at Juilliard. A disenchanted journalist whose marriage to a fellow journalist has come to an end, Steve Lopez (Downey, Jr.) comes upon Ayers playing a twostringed violin while wandering through Los Angeles’ Skid Row. The more Lopez learns about Ayers, the greater his respect grows for the troubled soul. How could a man with such remarkable talent wind up living on the streets instead of performing on stage with a symphony orchestra? Later, as Lopez embarks on a quixotic quest to help Ayers pull his life together and launch a career in music, he gradually comes to realize that it is not Ayers’ life being transformed, but his own. “The Soloist,” released in 2009, is rated R. The series will conclude Feb. 23 with a sensory-friendly showing of Pixar’s Academy
and the ones that are open often feature bored workers standing listlessly, hoping one of the few fans might show up and buy a hotdog to alleviate the boredom. Every now and then, the small-but-feisty crowd gets riled up over a show of hustle from the Tigers, or a perceived missed call that hurts the home team. It’s nowhere near as loud, but such outbursts call to mind a rapidly bygone era, just five years ago when Kansas came to town for the last time and the place was packed and as loud as thunder. Speaking of noisy venues, Missouri will experience one Saturday when the Tigers travel to Bud Walton Arena to play Arkansas (5 p.m. on SEC Network). The Razorbacks (12-3, 1-2 in SEC play through Sunday) got off to a hot start with a manageable nonconference schedule, but had a tough start to SEC play while facing some of the conference’s better teams. Missouri occupies the opposite end of the spectrum in the SEC, and Arkansas will be a big favorite.

Scholarship, which honors the former Grizzly Cheer Team who passed away in 2015. Beach experienced high school and collegiate cheerleading from nearly every angle. She was a member of the West Plains High School Zizzer cheer team before joining the Grizzly Cheer Team in 2003. As a sophomore, Beach was named captain of the squad and served as an assistant coach following her graduation from Missouri State-West Plains in 2005. She was head coach of the squad during the 2007-08 athletic season and later volunteered her time to serve as a tryout judge and cheer camp consultant for the program. She also was head coach of the area’s Mighty Mite cheer teams.
The new scholarship will be open to recent graduates of West Plains High School, regardless of financial need, with preference given to a former member of the Zizzer cheerleading squad, Peterson said. “We know there are many children in the area who love cheerleading and would be excited at the opportunity to cheer at halftime of a Grizzly game,” Peterson said. “This is a way to give those little ones the chance to do that and to honor Samantha’s passion for cheerleading and children. The funds raised for this scholarship could certainly impact the lives of college students, as well. It’s a win-win!” For more information, contact Peterson at 417-255-7978 or RachelPeterson@MissouriState.edu.

Award-winning animated film “Inside Out.” Featuring the voice talents of Mindy Kaling, Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black and Richard Kind, the movie tells the story of a little girl whose emotions run wild when she is uprooted from her peaceful life in the Midwest and forced to move to San Francisco. Young Riley was perfectly content with her life when her father landed a new job in the West Coast city and forced the family to move across the country. Now, as Riley prepares to navigate a new city and attend a new school, her emotional headquarters becomes a hot bed of activity. As Joy (Poehler) attempts to keep Riley feeling happy and positive about the move, the other emotions like Fear (Hader), Anger (Black), Disgust (Kaling) and Sadness (Smith) make the transition a bit more complicated. “Inside Out,” which received the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film in 2016, is rated

Help for Seniors with Bladder Control Problems Dear Savvy Senior, What are the best treatments recommended to help seniors with bladder control problems? Leaking Linda Dear Linda, Incontinence is very common in older adults. According to the CDC, more than half of women and 30 percent of men ages 65 and older are affected by it. Fortunately, there are a wide variety of treatment options that can help, as well as a number of absorbent pads or underwear you could use for leakage protection. Here’s what you should know. See A Doctor If you leak unexpectedly (also known as stress incontinence) or sometimes have such a strong urge to urinate (urge incontinence) that you fear you won’t make it to a bathroom in time, your first step is to make an appointment with your primary care doctor, or see a gynecologist, urologist, or urogynecologist. A doctor can determine if a medication side effect or a condition like diabetes or a urinary-tract infection might be causing urine leakage. They can also set you up with a treatment plan. Depending on the reason or the type on incontinence you have, here are some common treatment options. Non-drug therapies: There are a number of exercises, bladder training techniques and lifestyle strategies that should be the first line of treatment. Kegel exercises (repeatedly tightening and relaxing the muscles that stop urine flow to strengthen them) are especially helpful for women with stress incontinence, or leaking when they laugh, cough, sneeze, lift heavy objects, or exercise. Bladder training involves keeping a diary of urination and accidents, then slowly increasing the time between bathroom visits. It’s most effective for those with urge incontinence. There are also a number of lifestyle strategies that can help, such as cutting down on caffeinated and alcoholic drinks, which cause the kidneys to produce more urine. Getting sufficient fiber in your diet to keep yourself regular, because constipation can contribute to incontinence. Losing weight if appropriate, because excess weight puts pressure on the abdomen and bladder, and being overweight can also lead to Type 2 diabetes, which causes damage to the nerves that control the bladder. And if you smoke quit, because smoking leads to excess coughing which can cause urine leakage. Medications: Several drugs are approved for urge incontinence (or overactive bladder), such as prescription mirabegron (Myrbetriq), oxybutynin (Ditropan XL and generic), solifenacin (Vesicare), and tolterodine (Detrol and generic). While drug treatments are effective for many people, you also need to know that more than half of those who take incontinence drugs stop within six months because of side effects including constipation, drowsiness, dry mouth, blurry vision, and dizziness. Injections of Botox into the bladder muscle are also approved for this condition and may reduce the urge to urinate. This is usually prescribed to people only if other first line medications haven’t been successful. Medications should only be considered for those who continue to have bothersome symptoms despite having tried lifestyle changes and therapy exercises. Electrical stimulation: Mild electric shocks to nerves in the lower back or the pelvic area can stimulate and strengthen muscles that are involved in urination. This can help with both urge and stress incontinence, but it requires multiple treatments over many weeks. Surgery: Several surgical procedures are available for stress incontinence. The most common is sling surgery, where strips of synthetic mesh are implanted to support the urethra. This surgery is very effective in most patients, but should be a last resort.

OMC offers an effective way for smokers to overcome their tobacco addiction Ozarks Medical Center (OMC) and the American Lung Association will be offering the Freedom From Smoking program, an 8-week smoking cessation class for adults. Meetings will be held every Wednesday during the session beginning on Wednesday, January 11 at 9:00 a.m., in the OMC Pulmonary Rehab Conference Room in the Shaw Building. There is no cost for the program, but enrollment is required. As America’s gold standard smoking cessation program for over 25 years, Freedom From Smoking helps participants create personalized plans to overcome their tobacco addiction. With a recent new edition, the program is based on the latest research on addiction and behavior change. It approaches the difficulties of
quitting with a sensitive, supportive style. Studies show that people who use the program are six times more likely to be smoke-free one year later than those who try to quit on their own. According to Ruth Nabors, Pulmonary Rehab Coordinator at OMC, the program is especially helpful because it is taught by a trained facilitator who helps participants learn what triggers their smoking, when they are most likely to smoke, and the best way to approach the quitting process. The public can enroll in this free program by calling Ruth Nabors at 417257-5959, extension 6905. Please leave your name, phone number, and address on the voicemail and you will be contacted. The classes are limited to the first 15 to enroll.

Heart of America Dairy Expo program Dairy farmers from all over the southern Midwest will be gathering in Springfield, MO, January 19-21, 2017, for the fifth annual Heart of America Dairy Expo presented by Hiland Dairy Foods. The Heart of America Dairy Expo features four nationally known dairy speakers, and the largest dairy specific trade show in the southern Midwest, at the Ramada Oasis Hotel and Convention Center. “We are moving forward after a very challenging year of economic conditions caused by depressed milk prices at the farm,” says Expo Chairman and dairy farmer Ted Sheppard of Cabool, MO. Sheppard also serves as president of the Missouri Dairy Association which is the official host of the Heart of America Dairy Expo. “Our program will provide attendees with new directions on dairy nutrition, finance, commodity prices and consumer demand for 2017,” says Sheppard. “First, we are pleased to welcome back Gary Sipiorski, Dairy Development Manager from Madison, WI, to our Thursday evening Grand Opening Buffet Reception at 6 p.m. and Early Bird Seminar in the trade show. After the buffet, Gary will address “How did the business of milking get to 2017” including dairy business conditions, interest rates and our competition in
world dairy markets. “Friday’s program starts at 9:30 a.m. with “Moving Ahead with Dairy Nutrition Technologies” with Randy Asher, Animal Science Consulting, Brookings, SD, sponsored by Alltech. Following him will be a live recording of Dr. Scott Brown, Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics, University of Missouri, presenting his “Weekly Market Outlook” for the Brownfield Radio Network. “Rounding out the morning program will be long time dairy farmer favorite Dr. Mike Hutjens, University of Illinois, Champaign, IL, who will cover “Feed Strategies with 2017 Milk and Feed Prices” sponsored by Multimin USA. “Friday’s Pork Chop Luncheon, sponsored by Hiland Dairy Foods and the Missouri Pork Association will feature a key note presentation by Gary Sipiorski on “Dairy Outlook for the Next Five Years—how to position the farm financially” sponsored by Central Life Sciences,” says Sheppard. “After lunch, dairy farmers will get some tips from our producer panel, sponsored by BMO Harris Bank, addressing “Managing during Tough Financial Times”, moderated by Regan Bluel, University of Missouri. “Cindy Sorenson, Sr. Vice President Business Development, Midwest Dairy Association, concludes our
