John Schwartz

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Erickson Funeral Home, Ltd. - Darlington

A beautiful soul now in heaven. We love you Uncle John. Love you forever,

I think I remember when you visited Arlington that John was interested in the trees. So this is very fitting. Sincerest condolences.

Q: Describe where John worked and what they did A: I believe John found his true life's interest in Crop Insurance while working for USDA FSA in Lafayette County. He started in the mid 80's as a crop appraiser and field reporter. At that time USDA FSA attempted to offer crop insurance protection for farmers and ranchers through county FSA offices. John was a good worker and enjoyed the challenges of explaining crop insurance and the economic benefits of having good coverage. Consequently as USDA FSA realized private industry should be providing this farm management tool they exited the crop insurance protection program. The USDA still does offer considerable crop insurance subsidies to crop insurance carriers. As mentioned in John's obituary he did go on to do very well in the private crop insurance industry. One moment that I remember very well while working with John occurred at a multi-county FSA get together and everyone was asked to introduce themselves and what their role or program responsibilities were. He responded "I am John Schwartz and I do what I am told". Leon Wolfe retired CED Lafayette Co FSA.

Wishing Mary & friends peace & comfort, courage to face the days ahead & loving memories to forever hold in your heart. Until we meet again my brother
