My Friends call me “Rick”. In 1950 I was born on the family farm near Langdon, MO where I continue to reside to this day. I attended school in Rock Port, MO, graduating from high school in 1968. I married Linda Elliott of Rock Port. We have 3 grown children, Tim of Houston Texas, Brandon of Rock Port, and Amanda Ottmann also of Rock Port. Linda and I have 9 grandchildren. In 2004, Linda and I assumed the responsibility of caring for our grandson, Ryan. Ryan is 12 years old and attends Rock Port Elementary School. Our adoption of Ryan was completed in 2005. In addition to our children and grandchildren, Linda and I have as family Linda’s brother, Wayne, of Rock Port. I have one sister, an educator, Dr. Penny Kowal of Omaha, NE.

I have been a farmer throughout my adult life. At various times I have been involved with dairy, hogs, cattle, hay, corn, and soybeans. At the age of 14, when Dad sought other career opportunities, I assumed many farm related duties on my parent’s farm. When Linda and I were married she moved into the farmhouse with me, and Mother and Dad moved to town. I have never lived anyplace else. I am a full time farmer. Our crops consist of cattle, soybeans, hay, and food corn. Linda and I operate our farm along with our son Brandon and his wife Kathy. Some of the land in our operation was first homesteaded by my great great grandfather, Enoch Scamman. I represent the fifth generation of our family on that land. Brandon is the sixth.

In the 1980’s I served as a director of Atchison County Coop. From 1991 to 2000 I was a director of Rock Port School District, holding the office of Treasurer for one year as well as being Board President for 6 years. Working through National Farmers Union I have traveled to Washington, D.C. where, serving as an unpaid lobbyist, I represented family farmers and ranchers to members of Congress. Most recently, in 2006, I was a member of the National Farmers Union 10 member National Policy Committee. The Committee reviews and updates NFU’s National Farm Policy.

Currently, I serve as a Director of Langdon Road District. I am a lifetime member of Missouri Farmers Union. I am a member of Farm Bureau. I am a director of Missouri Farmers Union and Chairman of the MFU Policy Committee. I am a member of the Missouri NRCS Technical Committee. I serve on the board of Organization for Competitive Markets. I also write for the DailyYonder.com, a rural blog, and Tradereform.com.\
