When Dale first joined Mid-County Coop in 1989, he was employed in the agronomy department. Over the years, he became involved in the entire coop, doing repair work in the shop, making fuel deliveries, and more.

“Dale is a person of many talents. He’s able to benefit multiple departments, and run multiple types of equipment,” Mid-County General Manager Bill Reimers says. “He can drive a semi, he can install a propane tank . . . he can do it all.”

Mid-County Coop Celebrates Lynn Zellman Retirement

After 43 plus years of service to the patrons and customers of Mid-County Coop as an auto and truck mechanic, with staff, family and friends on hand, Lynn celebrated his last day of full time employment at Mid-County on Friday, April 19. Lynn began his career at the coop in December of 1975.
In honor of his many years of dedicated service and retirement Mid-County presented Lynn with a plaque, noting his years of service, several gifts, and in Lynn’s name donated $2,000 to Camp Omega, a Lutheran Church child and family camp located in Waterville, MN. The donation will be used for attendance fee assistance for children and families from local churches.
Mid-County also announced the establishment of the Lynn Zellman Auto and Truck Technician Scholarship program. The scholarship program will assist students from high schools in the Mid County service area in continuing their education in the auto and truck repair field.
Congratulations Lynn!

We are pleased to announce the Carver County Dairy Youth Scholars, which will take place at Judges Square at the Carver County Fair. This event will recognize the hard work and commitment of many Carver County dairy youth exhibitors.

Interest to develop this program was sparked by the dedication and inspiration of 4-H/FFA alumni member and volunteer leader, Derek Dreier. Derek was involved in all aspects of the dairy industry and built a strong foundation for Carver County’s future participants. It is in his honor that we strive to support young dairy participants through this program.

Late Former President Visited Local Farm

GeorgeHWBush-FTRNot many farmers can say they’ve had a US President stop by for a visit, but Dale and Martha Molnau were lucky to have this experience. Back in 1984, George Herbert Walker Bush (then Vice President) spent some time at the Molnau family farm in Cologne. The Molnau’s recently shared their memories in an interview with CBS: https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2018/12/03/he-was-an-amazing-man-mn-family-remembers-late-president-bushs-visit-to-farm/
