Capitalizing On Change
Alongside numerous small family dairies that dotted the rural Wisconsin landscape, the Breitenmosers made the long journey from Switzerland to America wanting a better life. Hans Sr. and Margrit Breitenmoser arrived in 1968 with the hope that hard work would result in a prosperous farm and happy life…
2025 Farm Kids for College Scholarship Winners
Graduation – the word sparks mixed emotions. Sadness for the ending of those things familiar, excitement for what lies ahead. National Farmers has always supported our farm family’s agricultural journeys. But nothing warms our hearts more than lending a hand to high school seniors who are embarking on…
President’s Message
National Farmers Organization is celebrating our 70 years birthday. From humble beginnings in Northwest Missouri and Southwest Iowa, what began as an idea driven by drought in those areas of the country along with falling farm prices-especially for cattle and hog producers, to where we are today…
Dairy Marketing Signals
Today, there is a lot of uncertainty in markets and the long-term effects of on-again, off-again tariffs and resulting trade disputes. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some unpleasant surprises for National Farmers members as things play out. I’m especially worried about Dairy Margin Coverage, or DMC payments. Let me explain…
Cattle Marketing Signals
February was the last time I gave my advice in this column. In February, I wrote about record high prices, strong demand and uncertainty that tariffs might bring. In June, cash prices were on fire for both feeders and fats. The biggest issue producers are talking about to me now is having locked in prices at…
Grain Marketing Signals
The agricultural industry and particularly grain producers, are experiencing significant marketing challenges. Traditionally, marketing opportunities for fall crops are more attractive in the spring and early summer due to planting issues, weather, and crop conditions in other parts of the world. Unfortunately, this…
Lessons Learned
Livestock has been a staple on the J&A Frieler Farm, LLC in Melrose, Minnesota, since the start. This land, which evolved into a small farm with a diverse mix of crops and livestock, has supported the Frieler family for over 100 years. The towns surrounding the farm and the agriculture industry itself have weathered many changes…
8 Board Members Retire
March 19, eight members of the national board retired at Convene ’25. President Paul Olson thanked them for their commitment to the organization and their exemplary service to America’s farmers and ranchers. National Farmers began a board reorganization process more than 24 months ago that was approved by…
Convene ’25
At National Farmers annual winter meeting March 18, President Paul Olson thanked attendees traveling to Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and he welcomed those watching via livestream on the organization’s website. National Farmers board of directors voted two years ago to livestream the event to members who can’t get away from…
President’s Message
Greetings from the Upper Midwest. Spring is definitely starting to make an appearance with several days in the 60s & 70s, along with some badly needed moisture. It’s the second year in a row for us with very little snow to help replenish our moisture deficit. It was great to see many of you at our national convention. We had some…
Dairy Marketing Signals
Thanks to all of you who participated in this year’s Dairy Workshop at national convention. I was once again reminded of why I love working for National Farmers Organization—you, our wonderful farmers and staff. There was a lot of good news to report. We continue to grow our program in both membership and…
Cattle Marketing Signals
Another national convention in the books. I especially want to thank the staff and producers who attended. I know it’s not easy getting away from all the farm work. I also congratulate the Top 5 Collection Points on their awards. There are between eight and ten who are in the running each year, which says our livestock staff…
Grain Marketing Signals
Looming large over grain markets is the impact of tariffs imposed by the United States and the reaction of other countries to them. The immediate result for agriculture was a significant reduction in prices received for our production. The long-term effects are still to be realized. Farmers have once again borne the burden of…
Passionate About Dairy Cattle
Having children in 4-H has undoubtedly led many families down paths they never imagined. One Illinois family’s 4-H journey lit their passion for dairy cattle. In 1984, Jim and Wanda Bohnert purchased a couple of older registered Jersey cows from the local sale barn for their boys…
National Farmers Convene ’25
