United Suppliers eyes Land O’ Lakes mergerby Rick PatrieNews Editor

ELDORA – The Minnesota based production-agriculture and food processing cooperative Land O’Lakes Inc. and the Eldora and Ames-based United Suppliers Inc. have announced plans to merge their crop inputs businesses. The agreement still needs a Land O’ Lakes member OK, and likewise OK by United Suppliers member owners. It would have United Suppliers crop protection and seed business, with $2.6 billion in 2014 sales, combine with the Winfield LLC, Land O’Lakes’ crop inputs and

seed business, which had reported $4.9 billion in sales last year.

The merger calls for a two-stage process, with the companies first combining their seed and crop protection businesses – meaning herbicides, pesticides and fungicides – and then only later adding the crop nutrient, fertilizer and related business.

The joint-company news releases both said, “Under this agreement the intention is to merge United Suppliers, Inc., and Land O’Lakes Inc.”

The two cooperatives said the merger would make possible larger

product offerings, allow access to newer technologies, more support in precision agriculture initiatives, and increase know-how when helping customers make best use of emerging technologies.

The two cooperatives cited rapid consolidation currently under way in the agricultural sector, and the impact of non-stop innovation as factors prompting the merger. The release says the move is “building on the successes of both organizations in recent years.”

“United Suppliers is excited to join with Land O’ Lakes,” said Brad Oelmann, president and CEO

of United Suppliers. “We are both experiencing great growth in this industry and together we view this merger as a continuation of that journey.”

Land O’ Lakes recorded more than $15 billion overall sales in 2014, operating in all 50 states and in 60 countries around the world. It employs about 2,000 people at 90 different locations. Land O’Lakes is one of the nation’s largest cooperatives, known for dairy and other consumer foods and a broad supplier of farmer production services.

UNION – A 4-Her’s dream of being a paramedic brought together the members of her club and the volunteers of the Union Fire Department in a project realized last Friday. Lacey Gilmour, 13, wants to someday be a paramedic or firefighter. So it was with a lot of excitement and keen attention that almost a year ago she attended an open house at the Union Fire Department. It was just to get acquainted, and there were a lot of interesting things to see, but one thing she noticed was that the unit sign over the doors could have used a little tender loving care. That was back in August last

year and last Friday the Eldora-New Providence Bearcats Club invited the community in for an unveiling ceremony where the Union Fire Department’s brand new insignia was unwrapped. Gilmour had come to her club members with the project idea, and they quickly pitched in to help. The club undertook the whole thing as a community service project. Gilmour did the coordinating with the department to ensure the new sign met all the department’s requirements. Club members painted the new sign themselves. Last Friday evening, all got a view. Lacey’s parents are John and Dawn Gilmour of New Providence.

ELDORA – The musical line-up for RAGBRAI day is filled with popular bands and local artists alike, performing everything from Rock and Roll to blues. The headliner act, the Johnny Holm Band, will perform on the Budweiser Stage from 9 p.m. to midnight. The Minneapolis based band is widely traveled, and no stranger to RAGBRAI. The group can play almost anything, and always keeps the crowd going with their upbeat, high-energy performances. Warming up for the headliner act is Dogs on Skis, who will be on the Budweiser Stage from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Dogs on Skis is a rock band that focuses on dance music from the 1950s to today, particularly 80’s rock. Along with the headliner and warm up acts, there will be several bands and artists performing in the afternoon line-up. Rocker and Eldora native, Ike Thomas, will be singing and strumming the guitar to the rhythm

of life, performing music that tells the story of comedy, love, tragedy and irreverence. Thomas will be performing at the Craft Beer Stage from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Along with Thomas, Eldora native Cliff Cory will be rocking the stage for the big ride. Cory is a singer and songwriter who has been nominated for three Rock Awards in Denver, Colorado, and whose music was featured in an independent film. Cory will be playing on the Craft Beer Stage from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Last, but certainly not least, is the Chicago native band, Captain Wails and the Harpoons, who will be playing on the Craft Beer Stage from 2 to 4 p.m. The band brings a unique mix of blues, classic rock and gritty midwestern punk to the stage. Their high energy Rock and Roll music with dynamic swing is crafted to induce group dancing and other fun – a perfect fit for the RAGBRAI crowd. Riders and town folks alike should find the line-up a uniquely crafted mix of music that will be sure to give them a one-of-a-kind experience.

ELDORA – Congratulations to this year’s Miss Eldora, Emily Mitchell, and Little Miss Eldora, Sofia Burk! Miss Eldora, Emily, is the daughter of David and Jennifer Mitchell.

ELDORA – With many roads closed off for RAGBRAI day, a good parking spot may be hard to come by. Luckily for Eldora residents, though, the city has set up a parking area. The parking area, which will be located at the Eldora City Softball Field, will offer extended and overnight parking during the week of RAGBRAI, July 19 – 26. The parking area is free of charge,

and will operate on a first come first serve basis. The ball field, located on 15th Street and 17th Avenue, will permit only diagonal parking in the grass area on the south and west side of field. There will be no street parking permitted, which will help to make the roads safer and less crowded for everyone involved. All vehicles must be moved from the area by 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 26. If you have questions, you can call 641-939-3241.

AMES – News that a long time Eldora economic anchor, United Suppliers, was pursuing a merger with Land O’ Lakes quickly became the talk of the town. The move is a reflection of the times, according to United Suppliers CEO Brad Oelmann. “There is no longer $7 corn and everything tightens in agriculture.”

Nonetheless, Oelmann added thatpart of the merger proposal has been a commitment to the three communities involved. That means the home base of the farm and food processor cooperative Land O’Lakes – the Twin Cities area. In addition, the commitment extends to Eldora and Ames, which share the headquarters offices of

Look for it all in the July 14 Herald Ledger

The July 14 edition of the Herald Ledger will contain a special 20-page extra publication built around the RAGBRAI appearance here in Eldora this month. The riders arrive on July 21, but with the help of a lot of advertiser-sponsors we have put together a publication designed to ac-quaint the local folks and the riders. The publication will be inserted in your regular Tuesday paper, but just as important it will be available to the riders coming here from Fort Dodge on the leg of the ride bringing them to Eldora. The idea is to acquaint them with the community, its offerings and its background and history, and to encourage them to see as much of it as they can in the short time they are staying over. Then, too, to encourage them to come back sometime to see the rest they didn’t have time for. And something that will be of interest to visitors and hosts alike will be a large map of the attractions in Eldora. It is designed to help everyone navigate the crowds and find the entertainment, the special venues, the vendors and the attractions which are set up specifically for the overnight visit here. The segment above is but a very small fraction of the display. So, check out Tuesday the 14th’s paper if you are wondering what’s coming up during the after-noon and evening of the visit which should bring upwards of 15,000 people here to the community. And again, if you would like to help the volunteer committee which has been organizing the recep-tion, please contact city hall and economic development director Deb Crosser or Christie Pence at the Hardin County Savings Bank. There are still a lot of jobs that need filling.

The RAGBRAI Eldora committee says that they still need volunteers for the day of the big ride, on July 21. They could use volunteers for any one of their teams, whether it’s with hospitality, information centers, shuttle routes, beverage garden and more. The committee encourages anyone and everyone to volunteer their time to help make RAGBRAI a success in Eldora. There is an easy form to fill out online, at www.ragbraieldora.com/volunteers/, or you can contact any one of the committee members, whose names are listed below. And if that hasn’t convinced you yet, this may change your mind: You get a free volunteer t-shirt!

United Suppliers is a customer-owned wholesale supplier of crop protection inputs, seed and crop nutrients, with headquarters in Eldora and Ames. Founded in Eldora in 1963, United Suppliers today is a co-op comprised of 600 agricultural retail

dealer (owners) that operate nearly 2,800 individual locations throughout the United States and parts of Canada. Owners of United Suppliers and members of Land O’Lakes Inc. will need to approve details of the merger. Votes are expected in August, and if approved, the deal will close in October. The Ames newspapers (in a community where United Suppliers now has a substantial portion of its administrative staff) reported a Land O’Lakes spokeswoman saying day-to-day operations at all locations will continue, but some administrative functions may be combined. Current leadership will also remain in place, the spokeswoman was quoted by the Ames publication, as saying. In the news release the two companies said they would continue their individual market strategies but draw on each other’s areas of expertise.

United Suppliers, he said. Oelmann added, “Unfortunately we can’t tell each of our individual employees exactly what the impact will be in terms of location and any need to retrain.” Oelmann said that, how the merger shakes out for individual workers won’t be known until a number of months down the road. The merger, assuming it gets approval by both cooperatives’ stakeholders, is set to phase in with two distinct transitions, (See accompanying article on page 1) and he said the impact on specific job descriptions will depend on how the two companies mesh. Oelmann said that some workers might have to make choices about those issues of location and retraining. He says industries supporting farming are in a phase characterized by large-scale consolidations similar to the United Suppliers-Land O’ Lakes move. He says this reflects economics starting at the farm and going up the ladder to wholesalers and retailers working for farmers. United Suppliers, long headquartered in Eldora, has just in recent years been locating administrative staff in offices in Ames, too. The wholesaler cooperative’s roots trace to Eldora when it was organized back to 1963. Approximately 100 staff work here in Eldora now. About four years ago, the Eldora co-op spun off its feeds division to a long time collaborator-firm based in the southeastern United States.

HARDIN COUNTY – 176 Keys dueling pianos show is at the grandstand opening night. The several-member group builds a night’s entertainment around competing pianos and a lot of audience participation. The basic show is rock and roll and a lot of sing-along. The next night brings The Outlaw Truck & Tractor Pulling Association, (OTTPA) which has been around since 1982 and bills itself the premiere pulling association in the Midwest. It sanctions over 70 sessions of pulling in over 50 cities from Texas to South Dakota. The OTTPA has 14 classes and 250 competing vehicles. The pullers from 17 different states are competing for over $1.5 million in prize money on this year’s “OTTPA Thunder in the Dirt Summer Tour”. Next night is an annual favorite at the Hardin County Fair: Chuck Wagon races. Taking their cues from history and the days when the chuck wagons paced the rush from one camp to the next along the cattle drive.

Friday night at the fair brings back Figure-8 racing and Sunday brings back the Demolition Derby.Here is the fair schedule.

The parade kicks off the parade and Wednesday evening following is the annual dinner for fair boosters and the crowning of the fair queen at about 7:30 p.m. in the community build-ing on the grounds That night the opening act in the grandstand is something new and different for the Hardin county Fair – 176 Keys-Dueling Pianos.

ROLAND- The 100-win mile-stone was celebrated by senior Ash-ley Sicard and the AGWSR softball team here Saturday during the Ro-land-Story Classic. Sicard hit the century mark in pitching wins as the highly-ranked Cougars clubbed Roland-Story, 11-0 in the fourth of four-games over two-days at the tourney. The AGWSR senior pitched a hit-less first four innings and struck out two against the Norsemen to gain the win. Taryan Barrick then worked the fifth, allowing one base hit. Sicard and Maddie Deters were a potent one-two punch for the Cougar bats. Sicard collected five runs batted in with a three-run home run in the third inning followed by a two-run double in the fourth. Deters stroked three singles with a two-run single in the third along with run-scoring safeties in the second and fourth. Alana Groninga added four sin-gles to the winner’s 13-hit attack and scored four runs, while Jodi John-son, Addi Johnson, Jami Johnson and Anna Jaspers all had one single. “Congratulations to Ashley on picking up her 100th career win. It is a great accomplishment,” said AG-WSR co-coach Brenda Drake. “Not only is she a great strikeout pitcher, she has had great defense behind her for the past four years.” Sicard owns the 100 wins against 24 losses. She stands 20-4 this sea-son after going 29-6 as a junior, 29-5 as a sophomore and 22-9 as a fresh-man. The Roland-Story victory capped a 2-2 showing for AGWSR at the tourney. The Cougars opened with a 4-3 win over Ogden and lost to top-ranked in Class 2A Highland of Riv-erside, 4-1 Friday. Saturday’s first-game was a 2-0 setback to Saydel. “I’m proud of the girls how they came back after the loss to Saydel

MARSHALLTOWN- Fueled by senior Mallory Vawter the BCLUW softball team made a strong show-ing at the Bobcat Classic here Friday and Saturday. The eighth-ranked in Class 2A Comets posted a 3-1 record with wins over Lisbon 2-0, Colfax-Mingo 10-1 and South Tama 12-0 in fourth frames. A perfect two-day showing was spoiled as 5A Des Moines Roosevelt beat BCLUW in the tourney finale, 12-2. Vawter, among the state’s batting average leaders, finished the four-games 9-for-11 in the batter’s box with eight runs scored. She went 3-for-3 with four runs against C-M, 2-for-2 against South Tama, and 2-for-3 against Lisbon and Roos-evelt. Solo runs in the first and sixth in-nings lifted the Comets over Lisbon. Vawter, with two singles, tallied both runs for the winners, scoring the eventual game-winner in the first on a squeeze bunt by Samantha Ub-ben. Nicole Montgomery added a run-scoring single along with singles for Ubben and Kayla Fisher. Macy Kock made her first varsity start and scattered seven base hits for the win. She struck out two. BCLUW banged out 16 base hits

and refocused. We could have said oh well and laid down against Ro-land-Story, but they came out ready to play,” noted Drake. A two-run first inning was the only scoring as Saydel clipped the Cougars. Both runs were unearned, scoring on a throwing error. AGWSR was checked to one base – a single by Groninga. “We played like we had a hang over from the Highland game the night before. We weren’t ready to play and we weren’t focused at the plate,” said Drake. Sicard tossed a four-hitter in the loss, struck out seven and walked one. Annika Hofbauer also struck out seven in the one-hit win. Highland plated the go-ahead run in the fifth, snapping a one-all battle and tallied two insurance runs in the sixth. A pair of singles plated the one run in the fifth and the two runs in the sixth scored on an errant throw. AGWSR attempted a comeback, packing the paths in the bottom of the sixth, but failed to score in the controversial contest. The Cougars pulled even at ones in the third when Jaspers singled and eventually scored on a bases-loaded two-out walk to Jo. Johnson. A l o n g with Jaspers, base knocks were by Groninga, Deters and Morgan Kap-pel. Sicard scattered five base hits, struck out a dozen and walked three in the hard-luck loss Sicard collected career win 99 in relief Friday as the Cougars edged Ogden late. Ja. Johnson delivered the game-winner in the home half of the sev-enth, stroking a one-out single to score Ad. Johnson. Ad. Johnson opened the at bat with a single and she advanced to third on Kappel’s bunt single. Knotted two-all, AGWSR took a 3-2 lead with one-run in the sixth,

JEWELL- Saturdays and the South Hardin softball team have not fared well this summer. The Tigers ended 1-8 on Satur-days after dropping three decisions at the South Hamilton tournament this past Saturday. South Hardin was beaten 11-1 by the host Hawks, fell 6-2 to Iowa Falls-Alden and were buried 12-0 by Interstate 35. An eight-run second inning pow-ered South Hamilton to the five-frame win. For the Tigers, Sarah Rewoldt, Miquela Teske and Paige Harrell singled. Harrell scored the one-run on a Michael Friest’s fielder’s choice. Iowa Falls-Alden plated three runs in the second and pulled away late with two in the sixth and one in the

but that was answered by Ogden in the seventh. Deters, Jaspers and Kappel had a double and single for the Cougs with two singles for Jo. Johnson and one for Ja. Johnson, Ad. Johnson and Megan Marlette. Sicard relieved Barrick with one-out in the fifth and the game knotted. The two combined on a three-hitter as Sicard struck out two and walked one after Barrick fanned two and walked five. Both teams had scoring opportu-nities as AGWSR stranded 10 base runners and Ogden eight. “Defensively, we played well. Of-fensively, we are still leaving too many runners stranded. We need to find a way to score, taking the pres-sure off our defense and pitching,” Drake added. The Cougars reached the 20-win plateau against six losses with the 2-2 showing.
