Mim Kauffman
(Continued from Page B 14)
Mim teaches public speaking to
county dairy princesses during the
seminar. She said, “For several
years a professional speech teacher
was employed to do this but one
year he couldn’t attend; I was
drafted and have been teaching it
ever since.”
Speech instruction includes
how to address different audi
ences, how to pick a subject and
the content of the speech.
Dairy maids and ambassadors
assist county princesses in their
duties. Mim also teaches at the
one-day seminar held for them.
Each September the county
dairy princesses participate in a
three-day pageant where they are
individually interviewed, present a
skit and speech, and are judged
informally as a group before the
banquet coronation where a slate
princess and two alternates are
chosen.
Mim said that PAPPS tries to
make the pageant special as they
think the girls deserve a nice
pageant
Mim and other dairy princess
coordinators do not choose the
winners as out-of-state judges are
used.
About five years ago, the Kauff
mans sold their herd, but not the
Mini’s artistic talents find
expression in painting farm
scenes.

110-acre farm. They rent the bams
to Rep. John Barley’s sons, who
are in the process of putting a herd
Although the Kauffmans had
been planning to sell the farm,
Mim said, “I always liked those
kids (John Barley’s) and I couldn’t
turn them down.”
Mim is glad that their five
grandchildren will have the oppor
tunity to enjoy cows in the bams.
In the early years of their life on
the farm, the Kauffmans also had
chickens.
“But no one liked chickens so
we got rid of them',” Mim said.
Other activities that Mim enjoys
are planning activities for a
women’s group at Congregational
Bible Church, keeping her grand
children, and this summer plan
ning a cruise to Bermuda with her
high school graduation class. She
also works part time at a marketing
business she and her husband
operate.
Although Mim claims she “only
dabbles in art,” her artistic ability
is evident in her paintings of farm
scenes. She has sold her paintings
at the National Holstein Conven
tion Art Show for the past six years
and in several consignments. She
prefers oil but does more work in
acrylic.
Mim has an extensive collection
of coffee mugs and cow collecti
bles displayed throughout the spa
cious farmhouse. Springtime on
the farm brings fond memories to
Mim who recalls that her one son.

when he was a kindergartener,
drove the lawn tractor across the
fields to the elementary school
each day, where he handed the
keys to his teacher to keep until his
return trip home.

Mim, it’s the belief that daily prin
cesses, maids, and ambassadors
are doing an outstanding job at
dairy promotion.
“It’s a great service to dairy far
mers because dairy princesses are
out there working for nothing,” she
said.
For the dairy princesses to do an
effective job, they need PDPPS to
plan an effective program. People
At
