By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Inevitably farm shows get down to“bragging rights.” And invariably thatrelates to how many people attend aparticular event, as well as how manyexhibitors shows their wares.

Farmfest, doing its 23rd annualshow, is now the fourth largest agri-cultural show in the country. FarmProgress Shows, the biggest in Amer-ica, is at Decatur, Ill., this year, soattendance at Farmfest is likely toswell even more.

Farmfest 2013 is Aug. 6-8 at the Gil-fillan Estate in Redwood County,Minn.

“We’re excited. We’re very pleasedwith the growing number ofexhibitors that are now buying intoFarmfest. And our farm attendancehas been terrific. We modestly callthis the biggest three-day ‘fun at thefarm’ conference in America,” said

Ray Bianchi, vice president of CygnusExpositions, the firm that conductsfarm shows in Minnesota, SouthDakota, Texas and Illinois.

New at Farmfest this year is a newWicks building that replaces the for-mer “Forum Tent.” “This new centerwill be the location for all the educa-tion forums plus Lynn Ketelsen’s (Lin-der Farm Network) Noon Time Jam-boree radio shows. It’s a big redbuilding right in the middle of ourgrounds,” Bianchi said. This new facil-ity will be climatized so that winterevents can also be staged on the Farm-fest grounds.

Farmfest is “sold out” in terms ofadditional space for additionalexhibitors. Bianchi said they are 120percent sold out, meaning there iswaiting list of exhibitors.

FARMFEST, from pg. 2Fcoordinated by Kent Thiesseof MinnStar Bank inLake Crystal, Minn.,has even more varietyfor 2013, Bianchi said.For example the opening session on Aug. 6, is on grainmarketing. In view of concerning questions about theaccuracy of U.S. Department of Agriculture projec-tions for the 2013 crops, this will be a lively session.(See Page 22F for a schedule of forums.)

“Reaching an Endpoint on a New Farm Bill” on Aug.6 continues the unrest in agriculture with a paneldiscussion about the pending new farm bill. Panelmembers include U.S. Reps. Collin Peterson and TimWalz, Roger Johnson of the National Farmers Union,Dale Moore of American Farm Bureau Federationand Bob Worth, Minnesota grower and vice presidentof the American Soybean Association.

Bianchi said national media coverage plus all theTwin Cities TV channels will be on deck. “So thisshould be a very exciting session.”

The afternoon forum might also be filled with ver-bal fisticuffs since that session focuses on renewableenergy policies currently in place in America and newproposals to expand the role of renewable energy inAmerica, and perhaps elsewhere. U.S. Sen. AlFranken will provide major insights from a govern-mental point of view.

At 3 p.m. on Aug. 6 the interest and intensity is notlikely to lessen, with the forum “Enhancing Ag Pro-duction and Water Quality with Managed DrainageSystems.” Energy issues even continue into theevening of that first day with a biodiesel tractor pullscheduled at 6:30 p.m. at the Redwood County Fair-grounds.

The 10: 30 a.m. forum on Day 2 will deal with agri-culture from a media perspective.

Tom Rothman, former farm radio man and nowdirector of ag stakeholder outreach of the Universityof Minnesota College of Food, Agricultural and Nat-ural Resource Sciences, will moderate this forum. Theoverriding question: Is agriculture getting a fairbreak in the media?

That afternoon’s forum will look at “How We RaiseOur Livestock — Who Should Decide.” Speakers frompork, beef, poultry and milk producer groups willoffer their insight.

What’s ahead for students majoring in agriculture?An Aug. 8 session will present the nuts and bolts ofjust how big a future is ahead for students gettinginto agriculture.

At 1:30 p.m. Aug. 8, the Minnesota Farm Families ofthe Year will be honored.

Technology nerds should have a blast at this year’sFarmfest. Bianchi said more than 30 exhibitors willbe putting the focus on technology. All told over 1.3million square feet of exhibit space will be on parade.Two tractor companies are using Farmfest for the

Farm bill forum expectedto draw national crowd

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

The story of Farmfest’s home at theGilfillan Estate began in 1882 whenCharles D. (C.D.) Gilfillan invested in13,000 acres west of Morgan, Minn.Born in New Hartford, N.Y., in 1831,C.D. was a prosperous St. Paul busi-nessman, attorney and political leader.

C.D.’s legacy to St. Paul was his lead-ership and financial support in build-ing the city’s first underground watersystem. His fiscal responsibilitiesincluded 37 years on the board ofdirectors of First National Bank, 17years as the bank’s vice president andfounder of the First Trust Co. of St.Paul.

Charles O. (C.O.) Gilfillan succeededhis father in managing the RedwoodCounty farm system after the elderGilfillan’s death in 1902 at the age of71. He and his wife, Anna, amassed afortune by building on the foundationlaid by C.D., but they generously gaveof their resources to area communitiesfor a hospital, park or museum.

C.O. died in 1962 at the age of 90.When Anna died in 1990 at the age of95, her will bequeathed the Gilfillanfarm site to the Redwood County His-torical Society in honor of C.O. to pre-serve the history of the estate and thesurrounding area.

The will stipulated that the historyshould be available to the public, sothe historical society began conductingtours in 1993. A number of volunteersorganized the Friends of Gilfillan, agroup that oversees maintenance andtours as well as private and publicevents.

Ten years after C.O.’s death whenVernon Center, Minn., hosted theworld plowing contest, the seeds ofFarmfest were planted. In 1977,Marlyn Buss bought Farmfest’s nameand records after the organizationwent bankrupt. In 1982, he organizeda Farmfest on his dad’s farm east ofLake Crystal, Minn. The summerevent stayed there for eight years

GILFILLAN, from pg. 31Fbefore moving to the Austin, Minn., area for fouryears.

Location and expenses presented major chal-lenges for Farmfest. The site was “bad from thestart,” Buss said.

After an interview by Brian Langeland of Red-

wood Falls KGLR radio the last day of Farmfest in1992, the two men were discussing the future of theshow. Marlyn mentioned he was looking for a newlocation.

“I asked him if he had ever considered the Red-wood Falls area because it was between the top twocorn and soybean producing counties of Minnesota

(Redwood and Renville counties),” Langeland said.The following week Langeland and radio station

manager Mike Neudecker guided Buss on a tour ofthe area. They also introduced him to Pete Iverson ofthe Redwood Area Development Corp. He connectedBuss with the Gilfillan Estate.

“Pete really stepped forward and helped us getestablished,” said Buss, who continued ownership forfour years.

The arrival of Farmfest in 1993 motivated Friendsof Gilfillan volunteers to erect a pavilion to servehomemade ice cream made the old-fashioned hand-crank way. Income from sales of the refreshing sum-mer treat and hot lunches goes back into improve-ments of the grounds and buildings which provide atranquil setting for weddings, family reunions andpublic events.

A two-cylinder engine club arranges for historicalexhibits and demonstrations during the three-dayfarm show.

Billed as one of the largest agricultural events inthe world, Farmfest currently functions underIDEAg, which also manages similar events in SouthDakota, Texas and Illinois. ❖

Thurston is active in 4-H, specifically in the swineproject. She loves showing her pigs at the county andstate level. She takes pride in educating the fairgo-ers when she is there. “I usually stand by my pigsand ask anybody walking by if they have any ques-tions.”

AMBASSADORS, from pg. 38Fance and support so that they growinto people who are passionate aboutagriculture,” Schwartz said.Levi Becker, Martin County

Levi Becker would like to be theMinnesota Pork Industry Ambassadorbecause pigs have always been a partof his life. He has grown up aroundpigs and has learned a lot over theyears from his family. He feels confi-dent that he would be able to promoteand share his knowledge with con-sumers.

Becker is the fourth generation onhis family farm. When he completesschool he wants to return to the fam-ily farm to work alongside his dad,uncle and grandpa. “I look forward tofollowing the footsteps of my familybecause they have taught me a lot ofwhat I know,” he said.

Educating the future generationsand those removed from farms is oneof the biggest struggles the porkindustry faces. Many people do notunderstand why farms do what theydo. “Encouraging and supporting agri-cultural classes in school, FFA and 4-H will be most valuable in the future,”Becker said.

Becker was active in 4-H, FFA, base-ball, basketball and football in highschool. He also helps out on the farm.Emily Wagener, Martin County

Emily Wagener will be a senior atFairmont High School. She is active inher school and community and is amember of FFA and 4-H. These organ-izations have helped her find her pas-sion for agriculture and the swineindustry.

Wagener would like to be the Min-nesota Pork Industry Ambassadorbecause she likes to talk with peopleand promote the pork industry.Wagener believes there are a lot ofpositive aspects of agriculture thatneed to be shared.

One of the issues that Wagenerbelieves the swine industry is facing isthe price of feed. In order to reducesome costs on the farm, Wagener sug-gests a switch to wet-dry feeders toimprove feed efficiency. This is goingto be vital this year in Minnesota, dueto the weather that we have had.

4-H has had a great impact onWagener that will be helpful for herfuture. “Twelve years ago when Ishowed at my first livestock show, Iknew it was something I really lovedand was passionate about. This hasgiven me a passion that I will carry

into my future career,” Wagener said.Dillon Welter, Olmsted County

Dillon Welter plans to attend SDSUin the fall majoring in agriculturalsystems technology. Welter believeshis options will be wide open for acareer when he graduates, becausetechnology is always changing andimproving.

He wants to become active in theSwine Club, Block and Bridle Cluband many other campus activities.

One issue in the pork industry isconsumer confidence and trust. Welterbelieves that consumers do not likewhen they do not know where theirfood is coming from. He has helpedwith the effort to improve confidencein consumers by handing out samplesin grocery stores, and having conver-sations with people. He thinks this isa great way to gain trust and get con-sumers to consume more pork.

Raising and showing pigs at thecounty and state level have been Wel-ter’s favorite part of being in theswine industry. He has enjoyed beingable to raise all of his own show pigs,and it has taught him a lot aboutresponsibility. When it is time to show,he gets to see that all of his hard workpaid off.

In high school, Welter was an activemember of his FFA chapter, 4-H club,soccer, golf, band, choir, NationalHonor Society, BPA, pork producersand Farm Bureau. He also took partin many community and leadershipactivities.Jaden Carlson, Pipestone County

Jaden Carlson would enjoy being theMinnesota Pork Industry Ambassadorbecause she has been active in theagricultural industry.

Over the years, she has acquired apassion for the swine industry andwould like to spread a positive lightand communicate to the public aboutthis great industry.

“I know how to talk to consumersand spread a positive message to con-sumers,” Carlson said.

Carlson feels that one of the difficul-ties that the industry has encounteredis antibiotic use. “Educating con-sumers about the on-farm practiceswe have is going to help deal with thisissue,” she said. She enjoys workingwith consumers to develop an under-standing of how pork is raised.

Carlson is a student at NorthDakota State University, where she ispursuing a bachelor’s degree in micro-biology. Upon graduation, she will con-

tinue her education to pursue a mas-ter’s and doctorate in microbiology.She hopes to operate her own businessin animal vaccination research anddevelopment one day.Richard Breeggemann, ScottCounty

“I would like to be the MinnesotaPork Industry Ambassador so I can bean advocate for Minnesota porkfarms,” Breeggemann said. “I realizehow important it is that consumersknow the many benefits of pork.”

One of the issues that the swineindustry faces is the use of pork inschool lunches, he said. He believesthat we need to work to get pork backinto school lunch programs because itis a lean protein that is healthy forchildren to consume.

Breeggemann has been involved in4-H, FFA, football and church festival.In college he is active in Scott CountyPork Producer’s Burger Stand andPost Ag Secondary where he promotesagriculture to the local community.

At a young age, Wicker startedworking on her family farm, whereshe learned many skills and devel-oped her passion for agriculture andswine. She has learned the value ofhard work and honesty, as well as theimportance of agriculture.
