By Anne Marie Moss
O
n a March morning,
Kevin Richards of Jefferson County Farm Bureau
played host to a group of
90 8th graders on his family farm in
Madras. With Mt. Jefferson visible in
the distance, he explained how Fox
Hollow Ranch is a diversified, second-generation farm growing hybrid
carrot seed, mint, wheat, hay, and
grass seed.
“For a lot of these kids, this may
be the first and only time in their
lives they’ll get first-hand exposure
to what a production farm is really
like,” Richards said. “A lot of people
get their perspective on farming from
visiting a pumpkin patch or doing
u-pick berries. That’s good, but that’s
not all agriculture is.”
Communicating about agriculture
has been a recurring theme for
Richards since he left his family’s farm
as a young adult.
As recently as two and a half years
ago, his audience wasn’t middle
school students, but members of Congress and reps from federal agencies
like the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and
Environmental Protection Agency.
2
In 2013, Kevin Richards returned to his family
farm in Madras after 10 years in Washington
D.C. Now he farms full-time with his dad.
Richards worked for the American
Farm Bureau in Washington D.C. on
public policy and regulatory issues.
Fine suits, meetings with dignitaries,
and a mile-a-minute schedule were
the norm.
Today, his workday uniform includes
something from Carhartt, sturdy boots,
and a baseball cap. Most meetings
are with his dad Martin about crop
planting, harvest, or irrigation. Instead
of a briefcase, his dog Gus is always
by his side. And the commute is short
since he, his wife Natalie, and two
young children live where he works.
After almost a decade of working
on Capitol Hill, in 2013 Richards
moved back to Madras “in time for
planting” to start a life as the second
generation on his family’s farm.
Madras to D.C. & back
Richard’s journey from a central Oregon
farm and back again is remarkable.
In 1988, his parents purchased
the farm and moved the family from
Clackamas County to Madras. As
Oregon Farm Bureau
soon as he was old enough, Richards
got involved in agriculture education
programs, first 4-H then FFA. From
the start, he was an upwardly mobile
go-getter, winning state leadership
positions in both organizations.
In short order, Richard’s drive and
talent resulted in an extraordinary
résumé: an economics degree from
Oregon State University, masters of
economics and public policy from
Georgetown, a six-month fellowship
at Monsanto, a job with the U.S.
Dept. of State in the agriculture, biotechnology, and trade affairs office —
and an internship at the White House
for the Council of Economic Advisers.
“This was during the 2008 financial
crisis. It was a fascinating time to be
at the White House,” he said.
Next, Richards used his economics
degree to land a heady position
as an economic consultant for a
small international firm, where he
focused on infrastructure spending
and public policy.
“I was director of regulatory affairs
for American Farm Bureau, working
primarily on biotechnology and some
trade and sustainability issues,” he
said. He regularly interacted with
national lawmakers and the federal
agencies that regulate biotechnology.
“I quickly realized how vulnerable
farmers are directly because of
regulations and public policy — but
also indirectly because it affects the
businesses we rely on to sell our
products and to supply us with quality
seed and other inputs we need to
raise our crops.
“Farm Bureau does a great job of
connecting people and giving them a
single voice. It also does a huge service just by giving farmers the means
to advocate for agriculture,” he said.
“To its credit, it was working for Farm
Bureau that gave me a window back
into what farm life was like.”
“I was kind of thrown into the deep
end of the pool as an economic
consultant,” he said. “In my mid-20s,
I was working with senior officials of
foreign governments that were responsible for spending hundreds of millions
of dollars on infrastructure projects.”
The job took him to the Philippines,
Pakistan, Vietnam, Australia, and
New Zealand.
To hear Richards describe his career
path in a casual, self-effacing manner
while standing in a field of alfalfa
is pretty incredible. Frankly, at 34,
he doesn’t look old enough to have
accomplished so much.
On both personal and professional
levels, the consulting job prepared
him for the American Farm Bureau,
where he began working in 2011.
One reason Richards decided to return to
Madras was a desire to raise his family in a rural
setting. His sons Owen (pictured) and Royce are
the third generation to live on the farm.
3
Visiting rural communities around
the country and interacting with Farm
Bureau members who visited D.C.
reminded Richards of his own childhood on the family farm in Madras.
And how that would be a great place
to raise his own kids.
Caring for carrots
Now back on the farm full time, Richards admits to “a steep learning curve.”
That’s partially because of Fox
Hollow’s crop diversity: hybrid carrot
seed, peppermint, wheat, alfalfa hay,
and Kentucky blue grass for seed.
Every field on the 600-acre farm
grows a combination of these commodities over a five-year period. This
rotation helps manage and balance
water and labor needs, soil health,
and profitability.
The farm’s premiere crop is the
hybrid carrot seed. Not carrots mind
you, the seed to grow carrots.
The climate and altitude of Jefferson
County are perfectly suited for carrot
seed cultivation, and the region
produces 85% of the hybrid carrot
seed planted in the United States,
according to Oregon State University.
Hybrid carrots are made by crossing
two carrot varieties to achieve specific characteristics, like sweetness or
a certain shape.
“It seems like carrots have become
more popular and specialized,” said
Richards. “It’s been a good crop for
farmers in this area.”
But not all carrots are planted alike.
“We raise carrots two different
ways. One is called ‘seed to seed.’
In August we plant seed and 13
months later, we harvest seed,”
said Richards. “The other way is by
planting ‘stecklings,’ which are carrot
roots. We have about 120 acres that
we’ll plant to stecklings this spring.
Twenty to 30 people will be out
working for about two weeks.
“So it’s a labor-intensive crop, but
it’s also management-intensive. We
spend a lot of time in the field thinning and checking for weeds, insects,
and disease.”
Instead of overhead sprinklers, the
carrot plants get water from a drip
irrigation system that delivers the exact
amount of water needed via hoses in
the ground. This process has improved
the farm’s water efficiency, and helps
prevent disease and bugs that can
fester in puddles of standing water.
(Other crops on the farm work well
with traditional wheel-line irrigation,
however.)
When the carrot plants mature,
they start to flower. The hybridization
process is done by honeybees that
cross-pollinate different varieties that
are planted next to each other.
“Then we harvest the carrots almost
exactly like we harvest wheat or any
seed crop grown in Oregon,” he said.
First a swather is used to cut the
plants into rows called “windrows,”
The hybridization process that creates the specialized seed is done by honeybees that
cross-pollinate different carrot varieties planted next to each other in the field.

which are left to dry for a few days.
Then a combine collects the stalks and
separates out the seeds.
“By that point, the actual carrot root
is kind of woody and doesn’t have
any value. So it just gets worked back
into the ground,” said Richards.
The farm contracts its product with
a local company, Central Oregon
Seed. From there the seed can head
to a larger seed company, which will
sell it domestically or abroad.
Down to earth
As a commercial-scale farm that
grows crops, the health of the land is
paramount to its sustainability. Always
forward-thinking, Richards is exploring
ways to bolster the soil’s constitution.
This year the farm purchased
machinery that minimizes tillage,
which are processes like plowing that
are done to prepare ground for planting. The goal of this low-till equipment
is to reduce soil erosion and increase
biological fertility.
Other practices include plowing
more crop residue back into the
ground to increase nutrient levels,
rotating the crops that are grown in a
field, and grid testing across a field to
pinpoint variances in soil condition.
In 1994, the Richards clan won “Farm Family
of the Year” in a contest through the Oregon
State Fair. Today, three families live on the
property. While Kevin and his dad Martin run
the farm full-time, the rest of the family helps
out in a variety of ways.
Fox Hollow doesn’t have any
organic crops, but Richards is experimenting with some organic-type
farming techniques.
“We’re trying a product that’s a
combination of processed chicken
manure and synthetic fertilizers that
gives us a little more microbe and
bacteria for the soil,” he said. “It used
to be that it was organic vs. conventional farming, and the two weren’t
really compatible. I think the way
farming is evolving is to understand
that it’s more of a continuum. There
are organic-type practices that can
be very effective and beneficial on
a commercial scale in conventional
agriculture.”
The farm also has a few conservation projects in the works. The family
won a grant to install two filtration
ponds that will clean excess irrigation
water before it enters a nearby creek.
Land buffers around the ponds will
be returned to native dryland grasses
and kept as wildlife habitat.
5
So how has the transition been
from visiting members of Congress on
Capitol Hill to researching a chicken
manure blend as a fertilizer option?
“Farming is certainly not always the
most glamorous life,” Richards laughed.
“But it has huge benefits, like the time I
get to spend with my family. No day is
boring. We get to run a business, drive
a tractor, work with our hands, make
decisions. It’s very rewarding.”
Talking GMOs
As a person who worked on
biotechnology issues in Washington
D.C., Richards is very knowledgeable
about the topic from a public policy
and regulatory perspective. Now
back in Madras, he has the added
perspective of a family farmer who
grows a GMO (genetically modified
organism) crop.
The farm raises GMO alfalfa,
one of eight commercially available
genetically engineered crops. It’s a
good choice for the farm because it
requires fewer chemicals to protect
the plants from weeds, meaning less
tractor driving, less fuel used, and less
soil disruption (tillage).
“A lot of the focus of the debate on
GMOs is about if it’s healthy and safe
or not. But I think what’s lost is that it’s
dramatically improving agriculture’s
impact on the environment,” said
Richards. “Reducing tillage, reducing
emissions from tillage, reducing carbon from tillage, making it so we’re
using dramatically fewer pesticides,
and using herbicides in a much more
effective and safer way.”
The GMO alfalfa also results in
fewer weeds, which is good for the
soil — and also the end user, which
in the case of alfalfa hay, is livestock.

Scanning the open green fields
where he spent his childhood with the
white peak of Mt. Jefferson in distance, he added, “Plus we get to do
it in a beautiful spot with great views
and good weather most of the year. ”
See a video of Kevin Richards
on his family farm on OFB’s
YouTube channel. Find the link
at oregonfb.org.
Even though the modification of
crops to cultivate specific characteristics is an ancient practice, the GMO
crops of today are relatively new on
the scene, and therein lies some of
the consumer concern.
“My personal opinion is that it’s
skepticism and fear for the unknown.
Many don’t fully understand what it
means when something is genetically
modified,” said Richards. “Modern
biotechnology, like the alfalfa, is
really only about 25 years old.
There’s still a long way to go in terms
of educating the general public.
But GMO crops aren’t more or less
harmful than any other crop that we
grow or any other food that’s in our
food supply.”
As the public GMO discussion
continues, a good point to remember
is that consumers will continue to have
a choice in the food they buy.
“My family buys organic on occasion. I don’t seek it out, but I’m very
happy to buy it when it’s a better
product and it’s affordable. And I’m
very happy that option is available
to a lot of consumers,” said Richards.
“But demonizing technology isn’t
necessary to maintain that choice. It’s
not necessary for it to be either/or, all
organic or all conventional.”

What is Farm Bureau, exactly?
F
irst established in Oregon in
1919, Farm Bureau is a grassroots, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that advocates for family farmers and ranchers in the political and
public arenas. The guiding principle:
agriculture producers have a stronger
voice when they speak together.
Farm Bureau’s issue positions are
created and approved by family
farmers and ranchers. These members
live and work in all 36 Oregon counties, produce every one of Oregon’s
220+ ag products, and represent all
sizes and types of production.
OFB believes that all types of
agriculture are valuable and needed:
organic, conventional, biotech, and
no tech. Oregon farmers and ranchers are the best people to decide
what commodities and production
methods are right for their own
operations and customer bases.
The COUNTRY connection
To understand the partnership
between the Farm Bureau and
COUNTRY Financial, you have to go
back to the early 20th century.
That’s when groups of farmers
began organizing to promote agriculture and share ideas to improve their
farming methods. One of the most
pressing needs of America’s farmers
in the early 1900s was insurance
protection; agricultural business
included many hazards that were
difficult or impossible to insure.
To provide protection for agriculture
producers in this region, the Farm
Bureaus of Oregon, Washington,
and Nevada joined to create the
Northwest Farm Bureau Insurance
Company. In 1986, COUNTRY
Financial purchased this company.
While continuing to provide
much-needed services to family
farmers and ranchers and their
neighbors, COUNTRY also provides
important support for OFB’s Young
Farmer & Rancher Program and
other leadership efforts. COUNTRY
Financial’s ongoing partnership
with Oregon agriculture producers
continues to benefit the lives and
livelihood of thousands of current —
and future — farmers and ranchers
across the state.

his spring, OFB debuted a series of YouTube
videos profiling seven members of the Young
Farmers & Ranchers Committee.

Meet 4 county Farm Bureau presidents
Jed Hassinger
Union County Farm
Bureau president
What do you raise on your
farm?
We raise wheat,
peppermint, alfalfa, and grass seed.
I’m the fourth generation to work on
our farm.
Why do you love farming?
I love the challenge of working on a
variety of things. There’s growing the
crops, but also maintaining the equipment, working in the shop, managing
employees, and taking care of the
business side of the farm. No two
days are alike.
What’s a misconception about Oregon agriculture?
I think most people don’t give farmers
enough credit for being good environmental stewards. We work hard to
use resources efficiently and take care
of the land and water. I’m the fourth
generation to make a living off of this
land. We’re doing everything we can
to keep our farm healthy and viable
for my kids and future generations.
Why are you involved in Farm Bureau?
My family has a tradition of being active in Farm Bureau. I think it’s one of
the most effective means we have to
actually make a difference and keep
Oregon agriculture sustainable.
Sue Vanek
Jefferson County
Farm Bureau
president
What do you raise?
We’re a family farm
raising carrot seed, wheat, alfalfa,
corn silage, beet seed, and garlic.
We try different things to see what
works in our area. Last year we
10
raised buckwheat as an experimental
crop and it worked out really well.
Our new venture is chickens. We
have 14 chickens now. I don’t know
why we waited so long!
Why do you love farming?
I love being my own boss, living out
in the country, and raising my kids on
a farm. I think growing up on a farm
teaches my kids a lot of life lessons
and skills.
Why is Farm Bureau important?
I’m really proud of the work Jefferson
County Farm Bureau has done to
protect our farmground from development. We’ve really stepped up
to the plate on some of those land
use issues. Without land for farming,
Oregon agriculture won’t survive.
I think everyone who’s got a farm
should be involved in Farm Bureau.
While we’re farming, OFB is representing us in the legislature. Without
Farm Bureau, who’s going to advocate for agriculture?
Karl Zweifel
Tillamook County Farm
Bureau president
What do you raise?
Basically I’m a
custom farmer. I raise
replacement heifers for a dairy, haul
hay and manure for a few farms, and
grow corn. I’m the fourth generation
of my family to farm.
In Tillamook County, we don’t have
to irrigate our crops much because
God does it for us. They call it the land
of cheese, trees, and ocean breeze.
What’s a challenge facing your farm?
Keeping up with the rules and regulations. There’s always something new.
Oregon Farm Bureau
Our overhead costs keep increasing.
We’re trying to adapt by using more
technology and fewer people.
Why are you active in Farm Bureau?
Farm Bureau fights for my rights to be
a farmer, and I’m proud of that. It’s
very important to me.
During this year’s state legislative
session, I came to Salem to testify on
a bill with Farm Bureau. I wanted the
lawmakers to know how proposed
legislation was going to affect me
and my farm’s bottom line.
Wes Miller
grain, beef, field corn for wildlife/
duck hunting, and sweet sorghum for
alcohol (fuel and/or distilled bever
ages) and syrup.
What are some challenges facing your farm?
Estate planning to figure out the
best way to pass the farm down to
the next generation. Also, the rising
prices of inputs, which are things we
need to run the farm like seed, fuel,
chemicals, etc. As they say, farmers
are “price takers, not price makers,”
and it’s difficult to make up those
extra costs.
What do you raise?
I’m a third-generation
farmer raising hay,
What do you like about Farm Bureau?
I like the ability to join with other farmers to advocate for political decisions
that enhance farming success. We’re
working to keep family farms and
ranches going.

Celebrating Oregon’s ag heritage
T
he Oregon Farm Bureau Foundation
for Education’s Century Farm & Ranch
program is one of the oldest agricultural
heritage recognitions in the nation. It honors farms and ranches that have remained
within the same family and operational for
at least 100 years. A Sesquicentennial status is available for those that have reached
the 150-year mark.
One of Oregon’s 28 Sesquicentennial
farms is Batchelder Farms in Hillsboro.
This farm was founded in 1858 by
James Hayward, who purchased the 447acre property after moving to Oregon from
California during the Gold Rush years.
A man named William L. Batchelder met
the farm’s owner while delivering hay to
the stable. Batchelder got a job at Hayward Farm, which had grown to almost
500 acres by this time — and eventually
married Hayward’s daughter Victoria.
The farm has successfully passed through
five generations of the Batchelder family,
and along the way was renamed Batchelder Farms.
The farm’s early crops were hay and
grain. In the mid-1940s, the fourth generation added dairy cattle and chickens.
Today the family farm raises wheat, clover,
and grass seed.
Batchelder Farms was awarded Century status in 1958, and in 2014, was
honored with Sesquicentennial status for
more than 150 years of operation within
the same family. Lewis Batchelder of
Washington County Farm Bureau submitted
the application on behalf of the farm.
The 2015 class of Century or Sesquicentennial farms will be honored during a
special ceremony at the Oregon State Fair.

cover the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch baking dish.
1-3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sifted flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 to 2/3 cup boiling water, depending on the
juiciness of the fruit. For berries, start with the least
amount of water; for peaches, up to 2/3 cup may
be used.
Mix 3/4 cup sugar with butter, baking powder, salt,
milk, and flour. Pour over fruit covering bottom of
baking dish.
Mix 1 cup sugar with cornstarch. Sprinkle over
mixture, then pour boiling water over all.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
Note: If the fruit is canned with sugar or is very

Oregon Farm Bureau
A group of teachers at SAI 2014 at one of the family farms they visited.
Summer Ag Institute connects
teachers & farmers
T
ell the teachers in your life to
register for the 2015 Summer
Ag Institute! It’s an award-winning
program that introduces educators
to Oregon agriculture through an
interesting, action-packed experience
where participants come away with
new perspectives and lesson plans.
A project of the Oregon Farm
Bureau Foundation for Education,
SAI is a three-credit, week-long,
graduate-level class through Oregon
State University that educates K-12
teachers with little or no background
in agriculture.
The goal of SAI is to help educators
use agriculture as a context for teaching standard subjects like science,
math, social studies, and English.
Current, factual, and scientific information about agriculture is presented,
and participants are provided with
educational materials to help them
incorporate what they’ve learned into
their classrooms. Since its first summer
in 1989, SAI has enrolled hundreds
of Oregon teachers with the goal of
helping to promote the importance of
agriculture to society.
Through SAI, teachers are given
first-hand experiences in the agriculture
community. The week includes field trips
to farms and ranches, tours of processing plants, and lectures and hands-on
labs taught by university professors. The
highlight of the week is an overnight
stay on a working farm where the
teacher has an opportunity to meet a
farm family.
“We get such great feedback from
teachers who participate,” said Jana
Dick, coordinator of SAI-La Grande.
“Not only do they gain a lot of great
lesson plan ideas, but they often start
to question popular misconceptions
about agriculture after they learn
about it first-hand and interact with
family farmers and ranchers.”
There are two sessions of SAI
each summer: one held in Corvallis, June 21-26, and a second
held in La Grande, July 12-17.
Enrollment cost for a graduate-level,
three-credit session is a great deal
at $600.
To learn more about SAI,

Debbie Crocker about SAI
Corvallis at 541.740.5073,
dcrocker@99webstreet.com, or Jana

From Oregon Farm Bureau
With Oregon roots dating back to 1919, Oregon Farm Bureau was
established as a statewide organization in Umatilla County in 1932. With
7,000 member families professionally engaged in the industry and a total
membership of 61,000 Oregon families, Farm Bureau is the state’s largest
general agriculture organization.
Virtually every aspect of public policy touches family agriculture in some
way. Farm Bureau uses a time-tested, open, democratic grassroots process
to reach its public policy positions. Members in all 36 Oregon counties
work to implement these objectives in the legislative arena. The ultimate
aim is the survival and success of Oregon’s agriculture community.
Thank you for supporting Oregon’s family farms and ranches with your
membership in Farm Bureau.
For more information, visit oregonfb.org or call 503.399.1701.
