Mid-County Coop is proud to sponsor the
Theresa Hoen Feist Memorial Foundation
The family of Theresa (Hoen) Feist has been a strong
supporter of Mid-County Coop for years, and now, we’re
grateful for the opportunity to return the favor.
Our co-op sponsors the Theresa Hoen Feist Memorial
Foundation, which offers scholarships for Carver
County Dairy Princesses.
Theresa passed away in 2008, at the age of 38. She was a true
farm girl, and had been in charge of organizing the Carver
County Dairy Princess Program. She also enjoyed showing
calves, judging animals at the county fair, and promoting the
4-H program.
Theresa grew up in Cologne, the daughter of Rose and
Leonard Hoen Jr. Leonard has been a member of the Mid-
County Coop board of directors for over 25 years, and is the
current vice president.
A few of Theresa’s other close relatives include her husband,
Darin; children – April, Kendall, Greta, and Holly; and brothers
Tom, John, Steve, Mike, and Matt.

years. His duties include delivering fuel and motor
oil for the company. Bob has a total of more than 37
years of petroleum delivery experience. He currently

biking.
Mark Eggers
Mark Eggers is known as the “jack of all trades” at
Mid-County Coop, but his offi cial title is custom
applicator. Mark applies fertilizer in the spring and
fall, sprays chemicals on crops in the summer, and
does repair of facilities and equipment during his
downtime. He grew up on a dairy farm in Gotha
(just south of Cologne), and spent 17 years of
his career milking cows. He was hired at Mid-County Agronomy in
2006, and is glad he can continue to be part of the local agricultural
community. When he’s not at Mid-County Agronomy, Mark enjoys
farming with his dad. Mark and his wife have six children, and he
is involved in many of their school activities and sporting events,
serving as a coach, referee, umpire, and more.
