Agripreneurs Live Here

October 5th, 2011

I’ve been watching farmers for a long time. Growing up as a farmer’s granddaughter and daughter I had no other aspirations than to not spend the rest of my life tied to this land. But being a farmer’s wife, mom to farmers, mother-in-law, sister, friend and now “Grandma” to up and coming young farmers has taught me a deep appreciation of local agriculture here in Miner County, SD where I make my home.

Less than 2% of us

I used to put 100 pennies in a line on the kitchen table and explain that the first penny and about half of the second represented the number of farmers and that these few, in turn, grew the food for all the rest of us. Today’s farmer feeds an average of 155 people so I need to revise my teaching tool! We all need to be paying more attention to our young farm families.

Above Average

I also believe really good farmers are well beyond the average. It’s not enough to academically understand all that goes into farming from soil testing to crop planning to machine maintenance and storage. It’s not enough to have the ability to think generations ahead in a breeding program, plan for proper nutrition and health, drive facilities design, construction and management. Today’s agriculture is all of those things and more. You have to be a marketing expert,financial planner, strategic thinker and a resilient soul. You have to consider your neighbors – the wildlife and plant life with which you share space and resources and your human neighbors who look to you for help and assistance.

More than making a living

I recently learned a new phrase and I think I’m going to love it –“agripreneur”. This is a new phrase and just being developed but I will add that I hope it begins to describe the business, entrepreneurial and comprehensive ability components of today’s successful young farmers. It’s a competitive world pitched against large ag corporations and the number of young farmers is fewer and fewer. You have to be good at what you do. You have to keep learning and growing in your work. You have to love it so much that you attend to it every day, 365 days a year. Hopefully you are so devoted to it that you teach your children to love it just as much as you do. The other 153 plus of us are counting on you!

Education: Recognizing the Connections

June 28th, 2011

At the Rural Learning Center we believe there is a connection between strong schools and strong rural communities. And that connection starts in the classroom. Just as every teacher should be able to answer why the subject they teach is important for their students to learn, we believe that every teacher should be able to identify how what they are teaching helps build a stronger rural community. Unfortunately, that’s not a question many teachers are prepared to answer. Last week, however, I learned of a school where the teachers and administration appear to understand the connections I reference above. Thanks to an article written in Education Week by Diette Courrege, I learned about the Walton Rural Life Center of Newton, KS (pop. 235). (see "Rural School Relies On Agriculture, Attracts National Attention," Education Week blogs, June, 22, 2011.) With dwindling enrollment threatening closure, the school reinvented itself. They jumped head-first into project based learning and made agriculture the focus of the curriculum. Today, every class in the K-5 school uses agriculture as the backdrop for learning.

What does this mean?

When I was trained as a teacher, we were taught to rely heavily on a textbook and stay focused on our subject matter. Project based learning, however, takes a project or topic (in this case agriculture) and makes it the purpose for learning multiple subjects. Courrege pulls a great example from an article that originally appeared in the Wichita Eagle:

[Teacher Kathy] Murphy was the school's fifth-grade teacher last year when her class pulled off a salsa project. But it went far beyond just raising the ingredients — garlic, tomatoes and peppers — and selling them. In between, the students used math to map out a garden, kept production records, balanced a checkbook, developed a business plan, and learned how to combat an infestation of white flies and aphids that attacked their plants without using chemicals. They also made a PowerPoint presentation of their project to convince their principal to let them tap into the charter funds for start-up money. "They were doing everything with a purpose," Murphy said. "They were reading for a reason, researching ways to treat the plants.” "When there's a reason for learning, it really matters to them. They take ownership." (source: “Agriculture focus helps rural Kansas school,” Rick Plumlee, Jan. 4, 2011.)

And the results are

Since adopting this model, school personnel have noticed significant improvements with student achievement. Absences and discipline have dropped, and test scores place the school in the top 5% of schools in Kansas. Why the success? Teachers believe it’s because students are taking ownership of their education and are more motivated to learn. I bet there’s also a relationship between students having fun and seeing the relevancy of what they are studying.

How can this build stronger communities?

The school decided to use agriculture as the focus of their curriculum because agriculture has a strong economic impact within the community. While it’s a mistake to assume that a large percentage of these young people will enter the field of agriculture, I think that the curriculum will help students see a connection between what they are learning and the community where they live. And if they understand their community better, they will also be more likely to recognize opportunities that exist within the community and to develop a stronger appreciation for it. The Walton Rural Life School offers a great example of a school and community trying to grow stronger together. There are many other ways as well. But it starts with educators in the classroom who recognize that what and how they teach has an impact on the larger community that the school serves. We feel fortunate to have met many future teachers in our GoTeachSD program who are beginning to recognize these connections. Are you one of them?

Local Foods: There is help

February 15th, 2011

There's a lot of economic opportunity for individuals in the local foods movement. Whether it's growing, producing, or baking food that is grown locally, the financial impact on individuals and communities is significant. But getting started in the food industry can be scary. Navigating through the rules and regulations of starting a food business may cause many to stop before they even start. There is help, however. First, I'd recommend that you begin following Rebecca Terk's blog Big Stone Bounty. Rebecca talks from experience. She owns Flying Tomato Farms and was instrumental in establishing the Vermillion Farmers Market. At Big Stone Bounty, she shares great tips for local food producers, as well as recipes and general food information. Second, become engaged with Buy Fresh, Buy Local South Dakota. They are a leading organization in the effort to grow the local foods industry in SD. They are currently holding "fact finding" meetings across South Dakota. For more information on these meetings, check out their website. Third, participate in one of the three upcoming "Food to Market" Workshops being sponsored by the SD Cooperative Extension Service. These one-day workshops are intended to help people learn about subjects such as: product testing, SD food safety standards, market feasibility, product promotion, direct sales, restaurant & institutional sales, social media, and connections with service providers. Upcoming meetings include:

Feb. 22-Montrose -- United Methodist Church, 109 2nd Ave
Feb. 25-Hot Springs -- Canyon Cottage, State Vet's Home, 2500 Minnekahta Ave
Feb. 28-Sisseton --To be announced

This is just a quick list of resources. But hopefully, they help someone who is sitting on the fence, wondering if they should start their own local food business. Photo credit: Natallie Maynor - Flickr

Buy Benicar Without Prescription

May 12th, 2010

Buy Benicar Without Prescription, Move over corn. Look out beans. A new study by an Iowa State University professor suggests local food production could produce $882 million in sales and add 9, cod online Benicar, Benicar for sale, 300 jobs in the Midwest. It also notes that demand for these foods already exists. So much for the argument that local foods initiatives don't make economic sense in the Midwest. (Read the study here.)

Before going on, let me assure my farming friends that my opening paragraph is not meant as an attack on traditional agriculture. In my opinion, Benicar price, coupon, Buy cheap Benicar, rural communities need a strong farm economy. But we also have to open our minds to the idea that local food development should be a part of that economy as well.

I first learned about the study from a Daily Yonder article titled "The Benefits of Local Food in the Midwest." Interested parties should also check out an article in the Los Angeles Times titled "Study finds Midwest could profit by growing fruit, Benicar in uk, Buy Benicar without prescription, vegetables to meet demand for local food."

Building the local foods economy will not be an easy task. The Los Angeles Times notes the following, citing report author David Swenson:

It won't be easy now for farmers to switch to other crops, free Benicar samples, Online buying Benicar hcl, Swenson said. Expertise in the Midwest tends to be in livestock or commodity crops such as corn and soybeans, order Benicar from mexican pharmacy, Benicar overseas, not produce. The states don't have policies to encourage expanded fruit and vegetable production, Benicar buy, Purchase Benicar, and many consumers don't think much about where their produce is grown." (source: Michael J. Crumb, Benicar in japan, Buying Benicar online over the counter, "Study finds Midwest could profit by growing fruit, vegetables to meet demand for local food, Benicar paypal, Next day Benicar, " Los Angeles Times, May 7, where to buy Benicar, Rx free Benicar, 2010.)

This means we have a lot of capacity building work to do to take advantage of the opportunity.

I know people like Rebecca Terk at the Flying Tomato Farm and Pat Garrity of the Buy Fresh Buy Local South Dakota project are leading this effort, alongside many others, Benicar from canadian pharmacy. Benicar medication, Now the rest of us need to figure out what we can do to help.

Note: There are a lot of good sessions on local foods at the Grassroots and Groundswork conference. I'm not sure if I'm going to get a chance to attend, buy Benicar without prescription, Order Benicar from United States pharmacy, but I'm sure others will share resources on Twitter via the #G&G2010 hashtag.

Buy Chantix Without Prescription

January 13th, 2010

Buy Chantix Without Prescription, There's no doubt that good restaurants are important to rural communities. They make rural communities more attractive places to live. They often serve as "informal meeting places where community is built" (e.g., third places). And they often improve the local economy by giving people a place to spend their money locally.

My guess is that Reuben Wentz must appreciate the importance of a good restaurant. The 93-year-old retired farmer recently gave $500,000 to his hometown of Napoleon, North Dakota (pop. Buy Chantix online without a prescription, 857) to create a new community-owned restaurant.

The restaurant replaces the old, deteriorating building that housed the community's previous community-owned restaurant. It sounds like they've got a good thing going with the restaurant. Its features include:

6, where can i buy cheapest Chantix online, Chantix prices, 000 square feet

New, brightly lit kitchen

TV monitors

Wireless mikes for presentations

It's also home to the Logan County Economic Development Offices, cod online Chantix, Chantix medication, which set up the foundation that manages the restaurant. I bet many of Napoleon's neighboring communities are envious.

It's important to attract people

It sounds like the community is excited about the restaurant. The Bismarck Tribune quotes foundation board member Jennifer Schumacher:

"It was such a moment of joy, Chantix in canada. Chantix prescriptions, I thought - I think we all thought - this is such a turning point for Napoleon," she said, Chantix to buy online. Buy Chantix without a prescription, Without much debt to service, the new venture should succeed, buy Chantix from mexico, Chantix from international pharmacy, she said.

"We have a new drug store, young people are moving in and wind towers are going up, Buy Chantix Without Prescription. With such a beautiful restaurant here in Napoleon, buy Chantix online no prescription, Purchase Chantix online, we can do it," Schumacher said, where to buy Chantix. Fast shipping Chantix, (source: Lauren Donovan, "Napoleon benefactor builds restaurant for community" Bismark Tribune, Chantix in japan, Chantix for sale, 12-2-09)

That's economic development

Any community seeking to attract young people (Gen Y) has to evaluate the availability of local food services. It's something they look for when choosing a community to call home.

With this in mind, I've been thinking about how the Napoleon might leverage this restaurant effort for further economic development. Two thoughts have emerged:

First, Chantix trusted pharmacy reviews, Saturday delivery Chantix, what can be done to foster a true "third place" atmosphere, making it a place where people of all ages and backgrounds meet for conversation? We know that conversation between people of varying backgrounds in third places can lead to greater community trust (e.g, order Chantix online overnight delivery no prescription. Buy cheap Chantix no rx, bridging social capital). But third places don't magically emerge. They take thoughtful consideration and effort.

Second, buy Chantix online cod, Ordering Chantix online, could the community-owned restaurant be leveraged to create a local foods initiative? Perhaps, they could make a commitment to buying locally raised foods. The kitchen could also be a "shared use kitchen" that helps entrepreneurs develop new food products.

Both of those ideas will take more effort and possibly more financial capital. They may or may not be right for Napoleon. But rural communities need to think like this to maximize their economic development efforts.

Small towns also need people like Reuben Wentz who are willing to invest in their community's future.

Note: Thanks to John Crabtree of the Center for Rural Affairs for making me aware of this story in their January newsletter. Readers may also be interested in past ReImagine Rural stories about community owned grocery stores.

Buy Geriforte Without Prescription

December 16th, 2009

In a post titled Buy Geriforte Without Prescription, "Eating Local, Eating Rural," Lisa R. Pruitt recently shared her experience of eating locally grown food in her home state of Arkansas, Geriforte for sale. Geriforte pills, In doing so, she provides a little inspiration to small town entrepreneurs who have a green thumb and a little culinary expertise.

Specifically, buy Geriforte online no prescription, Geriforte buy, she highlights a "new-ish, upmarket-ish Fayetteville restaurant, Geriforte san diego, Next day Geriforte, The Greenhouse Grille," that purchases food directly from farmers in the region around Fayetteville, buy Geriforte online with no prescription, Purchase Geriforte online no prescription, AR.

The Greenhouse Grille is an example of an urban restaurant that prepares foods grown in rural areas. It's also a great example of the rural-urban linkages that economic development professionals always talk about.

Pruitt's article, however, buy Geriforte without prescription, Buying Geriforte online over the counter, causes me to wonder: Where are the rural restaurants selling foods grown in the region. I'm not aware of any in rural South Dakota, Geriforte craiglist. Where to buy Geriforte, Are rural people willing to patronize restaurants with a local theme if it means they have to pay more for their meals? Or is it just of a fanciful fad for upscale urbanites.

I've always looked at the locavore movement (like farmers markets and Buy Fresh, buy Geriforte without a prescription, Order Geriforte online overnight delivery no prescription, Buy Local campaigns) as an extension of a buy local mentality. I think it's also an excellent economic development strategy that focuses on poverty reduction. At the same time, I realize some rural advocates see it as more of an urban thing that conflicts with a rural lifestyle.

I, Geriforte price, coupon, Geriforte tablets, for one, would much prefer to support restaurants like The Greenhouse Grille that are found in rural settings. Hopefully, Geriforte medication, Where to buy Geriforte, bloggers like Pruitt will inspire more entrepreneurs to take up the challenge.

Buy Speman Without Prescription

December 11th, 2009

This is the 3^rd in a series of posts offering my thoughts about an article Gwendolyn Bounds wrote for the Wall Street Journal titled "Green Acres is the Place to be." Buy Speman Without Prescription, Her article highlights a small but hopefully growing trend of young people moving to rural places. When I started writing, I only intended one article. But the story continues to garnish my attention. Speman to buy, (You can read previous post here and here.)

The people highlighted in the Bounds' article all purchased small tracts of land in Rural America. They are raising animals, buy Speman from canada, Speman craiglist, growing crops, and hunting animals for food, real brand Speman online. Buy Speman from mexico, It's interesting to me that none decided to live in a town or hamlet.

I think I understand why these young people, called Gen Y, where to buy Speman, Rx free Speman, are attracted to purchasing a house and land in the countryside, and I think it's a good thing - at least in the Midwest, purchase Speman online, Speman in australia, where the countryside has been depopulated. I do recognize the potential problems around urban sprawl and the conflict between hobby farms and production agriculture. But in general, I think the positives outweigh the negatives in my part of the country.

I also think there's an opportunity for small, buy Speman online with no prescription, Order Speman no prescription, rural towns to position themselves as places where Gen Y wants to move. Previously, order Speman online overnight delivery no prescription, Speman buy, I've written about that subject in a series of posts tagged "attracting college educated." Regardless of whether they live in town or outside, however, buy cheap Speman no rx, Next day Speman, I think there are things that rural communities can do to prepare for and maximize the movement of younger people to Rural America. And I'd like to share my thoughts on that subject below.

5 tips for preparing your community for a Gen Y

Following the theme of understanding the characteristics of Gen Y, I'd recommend rural communities consider the following activities:

1) Help create economic opportunities. Yesterday, I highlighted that individuals moving to rural places were seeking a variety of opportunities, Buy Speman Without Prescription. The subject is mute if economic opportunities for the rural transplants don't exist, over the counter Speman. Speman overseas, To some people that means rural communities need to recruit businesses for new job growth. And that's good strategy for some communities, Speman san diego. Speman in canada, But I've long been a fan of entrepreneurship training programs, like economic gardening, Speman pills. Buy Speman Without Prescription, Developing and marketing a good entrepreneurship program could be a boon for attracting Gen Y. Buy Speman without a prescription, After all, Gen Y is known to be very entrepreneurial, where can i order Speman without prescription. Buy Speman online without a prescription, (Read more about Gen Y's entrepreneurial tendencies here and here.)

2) Make sure your community has third places that help introduce newcomers. We've talked previously about the importance of pubs, order Speman online c.o.d, Purchase Speman, coffee shops, cafes, buy Speman online cod, Speman trusted pharmacy reviews, and community centers that function as "informal meeting places where community is built." (Ray Oldenburg, The Great Good Place) If you don't believe me, buying Speman online over the counter, Speman tablets, check out this blog produced by Gwendolyn Bounds about a little pub in Garrison, where can i buy Speman online, Buy cheap Speman, NY. Bounds credits the sense of community she experienced while visiting the pub as part of the reason she moved to the region from NYC.

3) Develop good broadband internet capacities and wi-fi hot spots. No doubt about it; Gen Y is very techy, online buying Speman hcl. In fact, some experts say young people look at technology like cell phones and other wireless devices as extensions of themselves. That's hard concept for many older people to grasp, but not having good Internet access in your rural community will drive young people crazy - and possibly somewhere else.

4) Help young people figure out "What am I going to do in this town?" In case you haven't noticed, Gen Y is very social, Buy Speman Without Prescription. Speman in usa, Granted, some of that social activity is on-line, where can i buy cheapest Speman online, Speman medication, but they love to get together for a good time as well. That's what led college student Morgan Andenas to write a blog post last summer titled "What am I suppose to do in this town?" in which she recommends inviting young people to be a part of community projects that include social opportunities, buy Speman online without prescription. Buy Speman online no prescription, Another idea for helping young people fit in can be accomplished by creating Young Professional Groups.

5) Rethink how you "engage" Gen Y in your community. Too often, older generations treat young adults like kids, fast shipping Speman, Free Speman samples, which is a real turn-off to them. They firmly believe they have something valuable to contribute, Speman discount, Speman gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, and are sometimes offended when you don't ask them to do so. I still think this post titled "How to Engage Gen Y in Rural Communities" is an excellent guide for any person or organization that wants to make younger people feel a part of their organization or community, buy Speman no prescription. Cod online Speman, Younger people today want to feel valuable.

Before wrapping up this post, I'd like to make one more point. I realize that most small town residents in the Midwest and Great Plains probably don't believe there's a significant opportunity to attract Gen Y to rural communities through entrepreneurship, buy Speman without prescription, Speman to buy online, third places, technology and engagement. I too have some doubts about it growing into a full-fledged movement. But I do believe we can make our rural communities more attractive to younger people if we are intentional in our efforts. In fact, order Speman from mexican pharmacy, Online buy Speman without a prescription, I believe that's something we have to do in order to have a future at all.

And if you want a proof that intentional efforts of this nature can be successful, take a look at what they are doing at Energize Clinton County in Wilmington, Speman in us, Speman in mexico, Ohio. Their efforts are already starting to attract Gen Y.

Buy Ultram Without Prescription

December 9th, 2009

In an article titled "Green Acres is the Place to Be Buy Ultram Without Prescription, ," Gwendolyn Bounds of the Wall Street Journal hints that we might expect to see a movement of Gen Y to rural places. Motivated by an uncertain economy, the young people Bounds describes in her article are jettisoning their hectic urban lives by purchasing small tracts of land in Rural America. They are, in Bounds' eyes, the young modern-day equivalent of "Mr. Douglas" of TV's "Green Acres" fame.

But what's really their motivation? Were they burned out by the fast paced Park Avenue life, buy Ultram online with no prescription, Ultram to buy, like Mr. Douglas, where can i buy Ultram online. Where can i buy cheapest Ultram online, Partly. Several do admit to aspiring to a slower pace of life.

But more significantly, many of these rural migrants feel burned by the Park Avenue investors who contributed to our country's recent economy collapse by turning investment banking into something more akin to investment gambling. If there is any single factor linking all the rural migrants together, order Ultram no prescription, Ultram prices, it would have to be fear over how quickly they saw investments disappear in the recent economic recession.

For that reason, many of the young people Bounds describes are purchasing land in rural places instead. They see it as a more stable investment than either the stock market or the overinflated urban housing market from which they emerged, Ultram from international pharmacy. Purchase Ultram online no prescription, And if things go really bad, at least they'll still be able to grow their own food, Ultram overseas. Buy Ultram online cod, It's tough to tell if the people highlighted in the article suggest a growing movement or a temporary reaction, soon to reverse course. Personally, Ultram in uk, Ultram trusted pharmacy reviews, I lean toward thinking it has a real opportunity to grow into a movement. But then, I've always been known as guy who believes "the glass is half full."

Buy Elimite Without Prescription

October 2nd, 2009

Buy Elimite Without Prescription, Why would Neal Wanless, the 23-year-old who won a $232.1 million Powerball prize last June, want to buy a ranch in western South Dakota rather than move to a mansion in Beverly Hills. (read more about Wanless here.)

While I don't really know for sure, purchase Elimite online, Free Elimite samples, I suspect that we can find the answer to this question in videos like the ones I've embedded below.

Ellingson Angus Ranch - St, order Elimite from mexican pharmacy. Buy Elimite without prescription, Anthony, ND

Will Feed, Inc, saturday delivery Elimite. Next day Elimite, -- Cozad, NE

I discovered the videos on a website called The Working Ranch Channel, thanks to a link at the bottom of this post by Caleb Schultz, order Elimite from United States pharmacy, Order Elimite online overnight delivery no prescription, which I talked about yesterday.

The videos on the site focus on cattle ranching, buy Elimite online with no prescription, Buy Elimite online cod, but cover a wide range of topics. They are well worth watching.

As I watched the two I've embedded above, sale Elimite, Cod online Elimite, however, I was struck by the passion and love each family has for their cattle operation. I suspect if they won the lottery, Elimite discount, Buy cheap Elimite, they'd stay on the ranch, just like Wanless.

I think the videos (as well as others on the site) also speak to the central question that Caleb Schutlz is wrestling with on his blog - how do we help urban America understand agriculture and rural life.

Living in rural places and making one's living off the land is an experience that most urban dwellers don't get a chance to experience. Videos like the above should definitely help urban dwellers understand why some of us prefer a ranch in western South Dakota to a mansion in Beverly Hills, Elimite from canadian pharmacy.
