Farming is where we ordsprog

Farming is where we started and our roots are still in farming. But our loan portfolio has become very diversified.

I started farming in 1948 and that was the first year I had my own crop. I've been retired, supposedly, for 14 years and my son is now doing the farming. Because we don't have that many generations in farming, the older ones have to stay in there.

We need young farmers to buy land, enter the business and stay in our rural communities to raise their families. One of the most difficult challenges for beginning farmers is gaining access to adequate capital. As farming changes, we need to update the programs to meet the loan needs of those that are contemplating a farming career.

Farming and agriculture is a high-tech business. There are machines that are doing the work of men. Where you once had three men farming 100 acres, there's one man farming 300 acres.

Farming now is a lot different than it was 20 years ago. If you want to get into a tractor, drive up and down a field and cultivate and harvest a crop and sell it, that's not where farming is headed.

Over the past 12 months, the major components of our loan portfolio have showed significant growth. We have increased residential construction loans 7% and commercial real estate loans 14% from a year ago. These components now make up 73% of the loan portfolio. In addition, we continue to let our installment loans drop off as they now represent just 8% of the loan portfolio compared to 9% a year ago.

The farming population has dropped more than half since I started. Of course, the size of the enterprises has increased accordingly.

White wheat is worth less today than when I started farming in 1972. The safety net, frankly, is gone.

I started in high school because of the way rainforests were being cleared for cattle in the Amazon. Factory farming is very detrimental to the environment in a lot of cases.

It seems like you have to make decisions earlier every year. When I first started farming, we wouldn't buy seed until a couple of weeks before planting. Now we find ourselves working on that during the harvest.

It's an industry that gives a huge boost to the state's economy, but it stays true to its roots by the sheer nature of the dedicated families who live, work and breathe farming and ranching. National Agriculture Week gives us a chance to recognize the people who consistently enrich our lives in so many ways.

When my husband retired, my son took over. My son and grandson are still growing sugar beets. I even have a great grandson who has started farming.
