enjoys cooking, gardening and attending food festivals, fairs and livestock shows. “We will absolutely frequent where we can find, not only Farm Bureau members, but other folks that love to celebrate agri- culture,” Durheim said. “I know it is going to be hot in California, but we are very ex- cited about the sunshine.” (Christine Souza is an assistant editor of Ag Alert.

numbers of production and the diversity of what farmers produce, I’m very eager to re- ally show the value of the California Farm Bureau to farmers and ranchers.” At the University of Minnesota, Durheim earned a Bachelor of Science and pursued a Master of Education in agriculture and extension education services. In 1997, after his time at the university, Durheim was hired by the Minnesota Farm Bureau as an area pro- gram director for membership, policy and leadership development. In 2003, he relocated to Washington, D.C., where he completed almost 20 years serving the American Farm Bureau Federation in multiple roles, including as executive director of industry affairs, direc- tor of program development and execu- tive director of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture. Most recently, Durheim worked for Nationwide Insurance in Columbus, Ohio, as associate vice president for sponsor re- lations, a position he held since 2016. Durheim’s wife, Cheryl, who also grew up in agriculture, has worked as an adjunct professor and is a professional photogra- pher with her own business. The Durheims have three children. Abby, 25, works for the Nebraska Farm Bureau; Caleb, 22, attends the University of Nebraska; and Savannah, 16, attends high school in Ohio and is active in FFA. As the family relocates to California, Durheim said their small flock of sheep will be of- fered to 4-H families. Durheim said he is an avid reader and Cal Fire grants to support biomass, forestry projects The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has awarded $17 mil- lion in business and workforce develop- ment grants in an effort to enhance for- est resilience and wildfire preparedness across the state. The grants will support 20 projects fo- cusing on increasing capacity for using forest biomass and enhancing career opportunities in forestry. Several grants will reimburse small forest operators for equipment acquisitions, including sawmill upgrades to increase the use of biomass, Cal Fire announced. The agency said the grants will help in- crease fuels treatments and help California reach its forest management objectives. Grants will also support training and job placement programs by the California Conservation Corps Foundation. “The Cal Fire Business and Workforce Development Grant Program has been instrumental for the development of both our own biomass utilization fa- cility and so many others across the state of California,” Matt King, owner of Tuolumne Biomass in Jamestown, said in a statement. 8 Ag Alert June 19, 2024
