Brandon FranckParents: Randy and Elaine FranckHometown: DeWitt, IowaCollege: Iowa State University

Tell us about your home farm. We milk 80 registered Brown Swiss cows. We also run about 500 crop acres, raising corn, soy-beans, and alfalfa. We also do

some showing with our cows, going to the Mississip-pi Valley Fair in Davenport, Iowa and the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines every year, as well as World Dairy Expo in Madison.

What are your plans after you graduate? I plan to return home to farm with my family. I also plan to work part time off farm for a few years while I try to nd cropland to rent as well as save money to buy into the dairy.

Where do you want to be in your career in ve years? 20 years? In ve years I want to be farming full time with my family. In 20 years I would like to expand our current operation both in number of cows and crop acres.

What would you tell someone contemplating at-tending college? What are the bene ts? To go for it. Even if you only go to a community college for two years, it is worth it. The classroom is only part of college. The people you meet and the experiences you have outside the classroom will teach you just as much and have a major in uence when you graduate.

What did you learn in college that will be most helpful in your career? The why for some of the things we do on the farm. Coming from a farm back-ground and going to college, I knew a lot of what you do on the farm. What I really learned in college were the reasons why we do these things.

What was the most bene cial non-classroom ex-perience you had in college? My participation in the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge competition. During my time preparing for this com-petition and participating in the competition. I learned how to evaluate a dairy operation not only by looking at the physical structures on the farm and looking at the cows, but also using records and nancial infor-mation. After analyzing all this data, I then learned how to make accurate recommendations on how to improve operations and how to save money without making major changes.

Of the interviews or job offers you've had so far, did the prospective employer feel that your farm background was a positive for you? Very much so. Employers recognize the amount of work that is needed to run a successful farming operation and ap-preciate the work ethic that comes along with that. That work ethic is viewed as a huge positive when interviewing for jobs.

Erin Elizabeth MillerParents: Tom and Lisa MillerHometown: La Crosse, Wis.College: Southwestern Wiscon-sin Technical College, Fennimore, Wis.

Tell us about your home farm. The family farm has been in the family for over 100 years. We

milk 80 cows in a double-eight herringbone parlor. We milk a unique blend of Holsteins, Brown Swiss and crossbreds. We farm 240 acres and grow all our feed. Our farm isnt just limited to dairy cows. We also keep busy with our horses, goats, and chickens.

What are your plans after you graduate? Right now my plan is to go home and help my parents with the farm. I would like to own part of the family op-eration within the next two years and start building a herd of registered cattle of my own. I am also consid-ering nding a job with a genetics company.

Where do you want to be in your career in ve years? Twenty years? In ve years I see myself owning a share of my parents operation and hav-ing at least 20 cows of my own. In 20 years I would like to be the owner and operator of the family farm, with the help of my brothers and parents. Someday I would like to ful ll my dads dream and mine of showing registered cows from our own herd at World Dairy Expo. I would very much like to expand our dairy operation in the future.

What would you tell someone contemplating at-tending college? What are the bene ts? To do it. I bene tted so much from my college experience. I learned a lot of job skills that will be valuable to me when I am out working in the industry. College is also a lot of fun. I made many new friends and really en-joyed my time here.

What did you learn in college that will be most helpful in your career? I learned a lot of nancial and business management skills and techniques that will be valuable to me when I own and operate my own dairy farm. I also learned valuable information about managing the health and reproduction of my future dairy herd.

What was the most bene cial non-classroom ex-perience you had in college? I really enjoyed the eld trips we took to tour other dairy operations. It was interesting to see how other people are managing their operations. The eld trips also gave me useful tips and ideas that I can take home to improve our operation.

Of the interviews or job offers you've had so far, did the prospective employer feel that your farm background was a positive for you? I have dis-cussed jobs with people from major genetics com-panies. I was told that my farm background would be very bene cial to me when it came to this line of work. Farming teaches you good organization and time management skills, as well as the ability to work well with other people and animals.

Tyler EgelandRoger and Joan EgelandHometown: Ossian, IowaCollege: Northeast Iowa Community College

Tell us about your home farm.E&M Farms is operated by mydad, Roger Egeland, and my un-cle, Dale Monroe. We have about

400 cows which we milk in a double-10 parlor. We also have a feedlot with 1,000 steers. We grow corn and alfalfa on about 1,200 acres. My brother, Dustin, and I are working into the farm operation.

What are your plans after you graduate? I have come back to the home farm and my plan is to slowly work my way into the operation with my brother. Ourplan is to eventually take over. I am concentratingon learning all about what my Uncle Dale does on the dairy side of the operation and Dustin is focusingmore on the beef.

Where do you want to be in your career in veyears? 20 years? In ve years I hope to own at least ve percent of the farm shares. In twenty years I hopeto still be right here as the co-owner of E & M farms.

What would you tell someone contemplating at-tending college? What are the bene ts? Its de -nitely worth it. You learn a lot. I would say to look ata two year school as well as a four year, because it cansave you money. Also, shop around for your books.Make sure you take everything in that you can not just in classes, but on the trips. We traveled to World Dairy Expo and Louisville as well as visiting farms.You also end up knowing a lot more about up to datetechnology. Talk to your teachers; they know a lot.

What did you learn in college that will be most helpful in your career? One of the most helpful things I learned is ration balancing. I learned about how the different feeds work together, and the many ways to arrange a ration to get the most out of a dairycow.

What was the most bene cial non-classroom ex-perience you had in college? The most bene cial non-classroom experience I had was networking.The teachers know many people and can help get you hooked up for jobs or to the information you are look-ing for. You also meet many people when you go ontrips. Networking is very important.

Of the interviews or job offers you've had so far,did the prospective employer feel that your farmbackground was a positive for you? Absolutely. They love it when you have a farm background. Theylike to see the common sense you start to learn fromthe rst day start following Dad on the farm, andall the things you start to learn when you are young and keep learning until you are done with school all comes into play. The degree isnt as great without allthe hands-on experience that you have.

900 cows milking... all fresh animals get Udder Comfort... less irritating, more convenient, very effective.

Jim Rickert

Weve been using Udder Comfort for 4 years on the udders of all fresh animals, particularly two-year-olds. It is less irritating, more convenient, and very effective, says Jim Rickert. Brothers Jim and Greg are partners in Rickert Brothers, LLC, home to the Rickland Holsteins, a high genomics herd sending 6 to 8 bulls a year to A.I.

Jims son Andrew serves as full-time feed manager at the Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin dairy farm, where 900 cows are milked 3 times a day.

The benefi ts of Udder Comfort are obvious, explains Rickert. This past year, weve been using it on prefresh two-year-olds, starting a week before their due dates. We spray it on the udder twice a week, prefresh, and then once a day, postfresh, aiming for at least 8 to 10 total applications per animal. This alleviates the swelling for udders that are much softer.

Udder Comfort is very important for udder quality here. By softening the udders and removing the swelling quickly, we dont see the breakdown in udder attachments.

Udders are softer, attachments stay stronger, heifers are easier to work with, and overall milk quality is improved. Udder Comfort is a key part of our quality management here.

For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.

OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE

CONGRATULATIONSTo New Heights Dairy on their new equipment

I am very happy with the individual indexing and individual release parallel stalls that Gary installed for me. The cows are positioned very nicely in the parlor. Gary is the most knowledgeable and innovative milking equipment dealer that

I know of. He always does his best to stay on top of new technology and new research and fi gures how to incorporate it into my dairy.--Brent Czech of New Heights Dairy/Foley, MN

Dogs somehow make life a little rich-er, especially life on a farm. When I look back at the dogs who have been a part of our life, its like each dogs time with us is a chapter in a book. Since weve been here, weve had a Rosco chapter, an Annie chapter and a Skippy chapter too many chapters by my standards, but thats how life goes sometimes. Skippys chapter ended recently, but his chapter is lled with many fond mem-ories. We started a new chapter this week with Suzy. Im hoping its one of those chapters that lasts for half a book. But before I start sharing stories about Suzy, heres one last excerpt from Skippys chapter. (And an entry for the chapter about pets in general.) It was Easter Monday. The kids were still exhausted from the busy weekend and the effects of the spring snif es. Monika had fallen asleep in the skidload-er while mixing feed with Glen and was transferred to her stroller to nap there. With no sister to play with, Dan asked if he could go in the house and watch a movie. I agreed, thinking he could use the down time to rest and recuperate. I went with him to the house to start the mov-ie and get him a snack. After Dan was settled into the recliner, I returned to the barn to continue my chores. A little while later, Dan came back outside to ask if he could wake Monika up so that she could come in the house with him. I told him he could not, so he hung around for a couple minutes and then went back to the house. A bit later, Dan showed up in the barn and again asked if he could wake Monika. My answer was the same, so he returned to the house and I kept working. By the time Dan came out of the house the third time, I was standing at the milk house sink lling bottles for bull calves. That sink has a window in front of it which gives me a view of our front door. I watched as Dan stepped out of the house and set Betty Kitty a young, super-friendly, black-and-white barn cat down on the steps. Betty Kitty bee-lined for the barn and Dan came strolling after. I quickly put two and two together and met Dan at the milkhouse door. Did you have Betty Kitty in the house with you? I asked. No. No, I didnt, he replied, shak-ing his head vigorously. Are you sure you didnt have Betty Kitty in the house with you? Im sure. Im sure, he red back. Dan, you have to tell me the truth. You wont be in trouble if you tell me the truth, but if you lie, youre going to be in trouble. In a voice a full octave lower he slow-ly said, Yeah, I had her in the house. Did she poop anywhere? I asked. No, she didnt. Im sure. Dan, honey, barn cats need to stay outside. They dont know how to be house cats, I tried to explain. OK, he said solemnly. I just want-ed somebody to keep me company. After I nished up the last of my chores, we went to the house and I quizzed Dan again about his house guest. Where was Betty Kitty while she was in the house? In the living room with me, he said. How did you keep Betty Kitty in the living room? I asked. I closed the door, he answered. (We have a sliding pocket door between the kitchen and living room, which is seldom

closed.) Where did she sit while she was in the living room? Right here and right here and right here, Dan said, pointing to a spot on the oor, the recliner and a couch cushion. I inspected the living room and didnt nd any trace of cat hair or cat poop. I decided that Dan was at least responsible enough to keep Betty Kitty locked in the living room with him, but explained again that barn cats need to stay outside. The next night, I caught Dan and Monika throwing eggs a transgression that makes my blood boil and something they had already been disciplined for just a few days earlier. I only had a few minutes left of chores, so I marched them to the house while reciting my lecture about respect-ing the chickens and the food they give us. I sat them down on the bench in the porch and told them not to move while I nished up. When I returned to the house, I was surprised to nd both children still sit-ting in the porch. However, the gate to the kitchen was open, so I knew they hadnt been in the porch the entire time. I was about to leave Dan and Monika in the porch and head down to the base-ment to change out of my barn clothes, but decided they should sit in the living room instead. Im not sure why I didnt just leave them in the porch, but it was a good decision. Maybe it was mothers intuition. I escorted them to the living room and found the pocket door closed. Both children were remarkably silent. I slid the pocket door open. There, right next to the recliner, looking up at me, stood Skippy. It took everything I had not to laugh at the situation. Apparently, I should have made it clear the night before that all out-side animals need to stay outside not just the cats. I turned around to nd Dan watching me with look of sheepish worry. Monika helped, too, was all he said. I called Skippy to the door. He seemed more than eager to get back outside. I can only imagine how much effort it took Dan and Monika to get Skippy into the living room, because when he didnt want to do something, hed just plop down on the ground and play statue. With Skippy safely back in his do-main, I repeated my explanation from the night before about outside animals in the house, this time emphasizing that all out-side animals need to stay outside. I went to bed that night glad the kids cant catch chickens. Yet. Sadie and her husband, Glen, milk 70 cows near Melrose, Minn. They have two children Dan, 5, and Monika, 3.
