Farm News: Jackson County Couple Wins Achievement HonorscommentsPosted: 12.06.2010 Jackson County dairy farmers Nathan and Karen Kling were selected as the state's Young Farmer & Agriculturist Achievement Award winners on Sunday in Wisconsin Dells at the 91st WI Farm Bureau Federations annual meeting. Nathan said he examines the costs of each component of the farm operation. He attributed their success to analyzing the farm’s internal growth over the past decade. To minimize their costs, they have done much of their own construction work on farm projects. They raise Holstein steers and rotationally graze their heifers.
Nathan’s brother, Joel, is one of four full-time employees on the farm. They also hire one additional part-time employee.
Nathan has served on the Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s dairy, legislative and Young Farmer & Agriculturist committees. He has served on the Jackson County Farm Bureau Board of Directors since 2000, and Karen once served as the county secretary. Both are past participants in Farm Bureau’s Discussion Meet contest.
Aside from competing at the AFBF annual meeting in Atlanta - the Klings will also be guests of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation at next year’s WFBF Young Farmer Conference to be held next December in Wisconsin Dells. They also will be guests of GROWMARK, Inc. at its annual meeting in Chicago this August. Dodge Truck provided a $500 cash award, FABCO Equipment Inc. provided 40 hours use of a FABCO 226 skid-steer loader, and Rural Mutual Insurance provided a free financial plan.
