Stishes welcome fall visitors by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

ROYALTON – The autumn season has many themes. The leaves turn colors, the farmers are out harvesting their crops, and Halloween is getting ever closer. Carving pumpkins and drinking pumpkin spice lattes are also a natural Àt for the season. A local spot for all things pumpkin is Triple S Farms on the outskirts of Royalton, particularly in October. Dave and Polly Stish have owned Triple S Farms for 37 years, since before they were married. But it wasn’t a pumpkin patch then. “When we bought the farm, we started with planting Christmas trees for 15 years” Dave said. From there, they changed it to a pick-your-own strawberry patch for 17 years. That’s when the Àrst idea of pumpkins came about. “We’ve always enjoyed

the thought of pumpkins and we’ve embraced everything about fall,” Dave said. “It just felt like right step to enhancing the fall experience.” Many of their pumpkins at that time were sold to Wal-Mart stores in the area. It wasn’t until 2011 that they decided to make the full switch on the farm. “We were kind of in the mode for entertaining at that point,” Dave said. “We had already had a number of groups come through and we already had the pumpkins started.” Walking around Triple S today, you can Ànd kids running around in the barn, climbing up hay piles and sliding down slides, petting a variety of animals at the petting zoo and walking through the corn walk looking for scavenger hunt items. “We’ve always had a slide for the kids, but over the years, we’ve added more and more activities for them,” Dave said. Oftentimes, families are

able sizes and types –from wean-to-Ànish to sows. “I’ve worked with clients who raise potbelly pigs to those who raise pigs as a hobby, and kids in 4-H,” Mueller said. “Anyone who needs help I’m here.” Mueller’s interest in swine developed as an undergraduate student at Iowa State University (ISU), where he worked with swine diagnostics and research. That experience led to a fulltime job with a contract research facility studying cattle and swine, and then an animal health company focused on swine research and development, before returning to ISU to study veterinary medicine. “Becoming a vet was always a long-term goal of mine,” Mueller said. “While in vet school, I met [Dr. Winkelman] and we kept in touch. During my fourth year, I did an externship with Swine Services Unlimited, Inc.” After receiving his doctorate in veterinarian medicine, Mueller joined WinkelPHOTO BY JENNIFER COYNE man to pursue a career in the Dr. Adam Mueller is a veterinary at Swine Services Unlimited, Inc., in Rice.

American Harvest spotlights St. Joseph farm By HERMAN LENSING Staff Writer ST. JOSEPH – Josh and Liz Fiedler both know they wanted to live in a rural area. They also don’t mind telling people why. This year their story and reasons for doing so is one of the story lines on Season 2 of the CarbonTV.com original series, American Harvest. Josh and Liz recently became the Àfth generation of the family to be living on their family farm. Josh quickly notes there is a difference. “Our family has had the land going back to 1888,” said Josh. “Liz grew up in Lake Benton, between Pipestone and Marshall. She is more used to rural life than I am. There is not one stoplight in Lincoln County. The unique part as it relates to my wife and I is, it is the Àrst generation where the primary income is not from working on the farm.” Josh works in agricultural Ànance. He also does color commentary of local high school sports. Liz is a nurse at the St. Cloud Hospital. She is also working

towards her doctorate of nursing degree. They closed on a 40-acre purchase of the 160-acre farm in September from his father, Ray and Mary Fiedler who operated a dairy herd on the farm from 1978 to 2007. Mary passed away in 2007. Ray, who has since built a home on the farm, will continue to farm and run a Holstein steer operation. Starting next year, Josh and Liz will purchase beef cattle from her father and begin a small beef operation. The Fiedlers had wanted to live in a rural area, and Josh had a mild interest in living on his home farm; but he never really thought much about it. “We had planned to look for rural property when she was Ànished with her graduate work,” said Josh. “Then in 2014, my dad approached me about purchasing some of the land. I was open-minded to that idea.” Josh and Liz discussed the proposal and they agreed the numbers worked for them. Coming back to a home farm might not be all that unusual, but the producers of American Harvest’s second season found

it worked well with the show’s theme of learning about the younger generation of farmers. “We went out to dinner with some friends,” said Josh. “One of their friends was the producer of American Harvest. We talked

Mueller’s work encompasses on-farm operations and providing suggestions for each producer, along with recordkeeping services, the veterinary ofÀce is also known for their work in swine research. For more than 20 years, Winkelman has evaluated vaccines and antibiotics of different pharmaceutical companies and aided in their approval from the USDA and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Winkelman also patented DLI – a process for vaccinating Lawsonia intracellularis, which is a common cause for diarrhea in mid- and late-Ànishing pigs. “Because of our skills and experience in research, we do a lot of contract research with pharmaceutical and biological companies for new vaccine and antibiotic development,” Mueller said. Partaking in various research allows Mueller and Winkelman to grasp new tools and technologies in the Àeld that can now be used to drive the industry. “Research gives us a heads up, although it’s all conÀdential,” Mueller said. “It shows us what’s new and what challenges we might face.” As of lately, Mueller has worked extensively with producers to educate them on upcoming changes to the in-

dustry. “It’s so important to keep everyone informed of what needs to be done so that we’re all abiding by those changes,” Mueller said. A signiÀcant change within the swine industry, and all sectors of livestock production, will begin Jan. 1,

2017 as the new Veterinary Feed Directive takes effect. This ruling will provide further veterinary oversight of antibiotics used in animal feed. “These are all good things, but it always takes some adjusting,” Mueller said.

“That all happened by chance. There was someone who needed help and it’s stemmed from there,” Mueller said. “I’m excited to broaden my skillset and interact with poultry producers and improve their farms, too.” Similar to his swine clients, Mueller will work with poultry producers to change management practices in order to Ànd ways to improve production and health within the Áock. Day in and day out, Mueller continually promotes the development of agriculture and enjoys his time spent with those involved in the swine industry. “The industry is full of great people – producers, veterinarians and other professionals,” Mueller said. “The best part of my job is the interaction I get with producers on a daily basis. They work hard to take care of their animals and provide a good source of protein for the world.”

Triple S is only open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on weekends during October, but they will often set up appointments with groups during the week. “We have a lot of groups that come from all over,” Dave said. “That just adds to our attendance.” Dave and Polly are humbled as they watch the farm Àll up with 75 to 80 cars at any given time, bringing in hundreds of people. “It’s fun knowing we are a destination of sorts,” said Dave. “People really like our pumpkins and our squash, but they seem to enjoy the activities even more. That’s the reason we keep doing what we’re doing it, for the kids and the families.”

Assisting pork producers in a management change has allowed operations to eradicate disease on their farm, such as Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PEDv), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), Mueller said.

BENTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REGULAR MEETING MINUTES – OCTOBER 4, 2016 The Benton County Board of Commissioners met in regular session on October 4, 2016 in the Benton County Board Room in Foley, MN with Commissioners Warren Peschl, Jim McMahon, Jake Bauerly, Ed Popp and Spencer Buerkle present. Call to order by Chair Buerkle was at 9:00 AM followed by the Pledge of Allegiance to the Áag. Peschl/Bauerly unanimous to approve the agenda as written. No one was present to speak under Open Forum. Popp/McMahon unanimous to approve the Consent Agenda: 1) approve the Regular Meeting Minutes of September 20, 2016 as written; 2) approve addition of incentive language in the existing Benton County Health and Wellness Program/approve incentives offered for remainder of 2016; 3) accept and Àle Veterans Service OfÀcer quarterly report for the period May 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016; 4) accept 2017 Natural Resources Block grant payment; 5) adopt Resolution 2016-#32, accepting donation from members of Solid Rock Church of St. Cloud to the Sheriff’s OfÀce K-9 Program, and authorize the Chair to sign; and 6) adopt Resolution 2016-#33, accepting donation from Fraternal Order of Eagles Ladies Auxiliary 622 of St. Cloud to the Sheriff’s OfÀce DARE Program, and authorize the Chair to sign. Marilyn Novak, Benton County Recorder, announced her retirement effective December 31, 2016 after a combined 30 years of service to Benton County. Board members thanked Novak for her dedicated service to Benton County and wished her well in her retirement. George Fiedler, Benton County Veterans Service OfÀcer, explained that, during the 2013 legislative session, the Minnesota Department of Veteran Affairs, County Veterans Service OfÀce Operational Enhancement Grant Program, was modiÀed and the state funding increased. He noted that the grant program provides an annual base grant to all 87 counties of $7,500; in addition, each county gets additional money based on the veteran population in their county (Benton County’s veteran population is cited as 3,345, so Benton County will get an additional $5,000). Fiedler indicated that the money can only be spent for speciÀc items; his recommendation is to use the money for marketing, training conference expenses and associated travel; software maintenance for VIMS, and notebook computer. Bauerly/McMahon unanimous to adopt Resolution 2016-#34, accepting the grant from the State of MN, providing Benton County $12,500 to spend on veteran services activities as outlined in the list of approved items from the State of MN, and authorize the Chair to sign. Chris Byrd, County Engineer, explained that the Public Works Department has had an established policy with regard to snow/ ice removal on Benton County roads and highways; he stated that he has rewritten this policy to make it easier to read. Byrd highlighted a number of sections in the abridged version of the winter maintenance policy, requesting Board approval. McMahon/Popp unanimous to approve the Benton County Winter Maintenance Policy with regard to snow/ice removal on Benton County roads and highways as presented, and authorize the Chair to sign. Byrd will post this approved policy on the county website. Engineer’s Report: 1) “3 Up the Hill” in Sauk Rapids (curb and gutter complete on prepared areas; hope to pave from 3rd Avenue to Summit Avenue later this week; contractor hopes to complete

all paving, including the wear course, this year (deadline date is October 28th); 2) Overlay projects on CSAH 4, CSAH 6 and CSAH 7 are complete, except for the permanent striping; 3) CSAH 8 reclaim project is complete; 4) getting equipment ready for winter; 5) Foley City Council meeting tonight to discuss joint 4th Avenue project (sidewalk concerns relating to ADA compliance); and 6) Watab Township meeting tonight to discuss the possibility of interchanges at TH 10 and some of our county roads (would be a required cost participation from the county). Karri Thorsten, Auditor-Treasurer, informed the Board that her ofÀce received a letter from Lunis and Barb Katterhagen stating they would like to donate parcel 18.00164.00 to the County; the parcel is located in the City of Sartell in an R-3 zone and contains no structures. Upon questioning of other county staff, Thorsten noted no foreseeable use of this property. Board members inquired of the parcel size, market value and taxes. McMahon inquired of accepting the parcel for possible future economic development purposes. Following brief discussion, Bauerly/ McMahon unanimous to table this item to allow Board members to view the parcel. Commissioner Popp questioned the status of the parcel (the “island” property in Langola Township) which was conveyed to Benton County from the State (in previous discussions, the Board had inquired if the County could convey/sell this parcel to another party—directly or indirectly). Thorsten noted that she had previously sought a legal opinion from the County Attorney’s OfÀce; she will reach out to the County Attorney’s OfÀce again in this regard. The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:35 AM to conduct a Human Services Board meeting. The Regular County Board meeting was reconvened at 10:05 AM. Brian Koester, representing the BeneÀts Advisory Committee, presented the Committee’s recommendation for non-union employee health insurance contributions and plans for 2017 (Benton County received a 7.5% rate increase from Health Partners for 2017 which will remain Áat for 2018 should Benton County choose to renew with Health Partners). Koester presented a proposed premium structure for 2017 for non-union employees (county contribution and employee contribution) that reÁects a 50/50 split of the stated increase between employer and employees. Koester also stated the Committee’s recommendation that no new enrollees will be allowed into the $500/$1,000 deductible plan or the $1,500/$3,000 deductible plan with VEBA, from and after January 1, 2017; this recommendation applies to nonunion employees only (employees currently enrolled in these two plans may continue their coverage in these plans). He noted that the rationale behind phasing out these two plans is, for the most part, to reduce administrative costs (Benton County pays administrative costs for each individual plan). Noting that there are very few employees enrolled in those two plans, Bauerly inquired of phasing out those plans for existing employees as well over time. Koester noted that, at some point, these plans may become cost-prohibitive for employees. Monty Headley, County Administrator, noted that the county could attempt to negotiate the elimination of these plans with the unions in the short term. McMahon stated his belief that employees were previously assured (through negotiations) that they could stay in these lower deductible plans as long as they desired. Buerkle pointed out

Sample ballot continued from previous page

PAGE 5B that the two plans which are being proposed for phase out (for non-union employees only) are the plans with the lowest county contribution to premium. Lee Katzmarek, Human Resources Director, commented that the issue of “cadillac tax” must be considered in the overall costs for those two plans. Koester noted that the premium structure for all four plans was intentionally designed to move employees to the higher deductible plans to help control plan utilization. Bauerly stated his agreement that the two high deductible plans “make people more accountable for their own wellness”. McMahon/Peschl unanimous to approve the 2017 health insurance premium structure for non-union employees as presented; further, that no new enrollees will be allowed into the $500/$1,000 deductible plan or the $1,500/$3,000 deductible plan with VEBA, from and after January 1, 2017--this applies to non-union employees only (employees currently enrolled in these two plans may continue their coverage in these plans). Board members reported on recent meetings they attended on behalf of the county. Topics discussed under Commissioner Concerns: 1) Concern with future of the State of MN deÀned beneÀt program; 2) Watab Township Board meeting tonight (Commissioner of Transportation will be in attendance); and 3) Additional Highway signage request (CSAH 12). Peschl/McMahon unanimous to set Committees of the Whole: October 17, AMC District V Meeting; December 1, Benton Economic Partnership Quarterly Membership Meeting; and December 5-6, AMC Annual Conference. Bauerly/Peschl unanimous to adjourn at 10:40 AM. Spencer C. Buerkle, Chair Benton County Board of Commissioners ATTEST: Montgomery Headley Benton County Administrator R-43-1B Absentee Voting Hours The ofÀce of the Benton County Auditor-Treasurer in the Government Center at 531 Dewey Street, Foley, Minnesota, will be open Saturday, November 5th, 2016 between the hours of 10:00 am and 3:00 pm and Monday, November 7th, 2016 from 4:30 pm to 5:00 pm for the purpose of accepting Absentee Ballot applications and casting Absentee Ballots.

Daylight savings

People don’t like their clocks changed without having a say in the matter. Yet once The again, we’ll be turning our clocks back one hour on Nov. Business 6 and in the spring we’ll move of Farming them again. Benjamin Franklin and farmers are the ones most often by blamed for the yearly ritual. But Roger Strom it wasn’t Ben. He wasn’t a fan Ag __________ of the sun waking him up at 6 Columnist__________ a.m. so he wrote an essay that suggested there could be huge savings if people changed their sleep schedules so they wouldn’t need to buy so many candles. Contrary to popular opinion, he did not propose changing the clocks. Another misconception is that daylight saving time is for farmers. Supposedly the extra hour of daylight let’s farmers get more done. Maybe before electricity and batteries that was true, but in today’s world, nobody gets out of doing chores because it’s too dark, cold, wet or hot. Historians tell us farmers we were actually the ones most opposed to daylight saving time when it was first implemented in 1918. They had a powerful lobbing force that fought “tooth and nail” against messing with the clock. Most farmers would prefer we leave our time pieces alone. Especially dairy farmers who have to deal with cows that may not know how to tell time but do have an internal clock that tells them when it’s time for milking. Cows don’t like changes in their daily schedule and it can impact how much milk they produce. In the spring when clocks are moved ahead, some farmers will slowly ease the girls into an earlier schedule a half-hour at a time. But in the fall, asking a cow to hold onto her milk for an extra hour not only frustrates the cow but can actually cause health problems. Supposedly, the real reason for daylight saving time is to save energy. With more daylight, we spend less on electricity for lighting. However, there have been several studies that show the clock changes have had the opposite effect. The folks with the National Bureau of Economic Research found that the warmer hour of daylight caused higher demand for air-conditioning, more than offsetting the gains from reduced lighting. So if daylight saving time doesn’t benefit farmers, make for happier cows or save electricity, who wins? Apparently, it’s the retailers and the recreation business that gain the most. People shop more when it’s lighter at night. And they stay outside longer doing fun stuff. Past studies by the golf industry estimated that an extra month of daylight saving time was worth $200 to $400 million. During that same time the U.S. barbecue industry increased profits by $150 million. Maybe that’s the reason daylight saving time has been stretched from six months to seven months to now eight. So if you’re one of those who like things “just the way they are” don’t blame Uncle Ben, the power company or farmers. The real culprits are those darn shoppers and golfers!

Fiedlers continued from page 2B________________ “We had no desire to be TV stars, but we had a desire and were willing to participate in a show that has everything to do with wanting to tell a positive story about agriculture,” he said. Getting that information out is something he sees as more than just the work of people growing the food consumers eat. He thinks everyone involved in the agricultural business should be letting people know good things about the business. “So many have desire to share the negative side of agriculture. It is reliant on folks, like yourself (the media) to tell that story. Business needs to tell the story. The farmers are out numbered,” he said. The Fiedlers joined the show with a commitment to just being themselves, and to discuss how their life on the family farm is progressing. “They started filming this spring and finished in early October,” said Josh. “What I liked about it is that nothing is staged. We weren’t asked to hold hands or stand in front of cows. This is more a documentary than something like Reality TV.” The filming was usually done with two cameras, sometimes only one and the taping sessions became friends sharing a story – well sort of. “It was a free-flowing conversation, with people who have a camera in their hand,” said Josh. “Although, it can be hard to

forget the camera is there.” The filming of their portion of the show recently concluded. They are waiting to watch the series. “We are just a part of it,” said Josh. “They have three or four stories and some minor ones.” What the Fiedlers are really glad about is that they were able to tell their story, together, and share their perspective on agriculture.

“We got to tell a positive story about agriculture,” said Josh. American Harvest Season 2: “The Next Generation” debuts for free on

Air King industrial air cleaners are a valuable tool for capturing most airborne nuisance particulate. Our self-contained filtration units continuously pull contaminated air through multiple stages of highly efficient micro-glass filters. The filtered air is then re-circulated back into the working environment without the need for duct work. This results in a cleaner, healthier atmosphere for employees, while saving you money by keeping heated or air-conditioned air inside your facility.
