Mercer farmer of the year finds ideal West Virginia farm
Mercer County's Farmer of the Year Espeseth and his wife Susan Bertrand moved from Montana to a 130 acre Pisgah Road property in West Virginia. Using the Watson Grazing Management System, he rotates Black Angus and Baldies on two acre paddocks, avoiding overgrazing and enabling winter hay harvest. The site, Bitterroot Farm, was chosen for its balance of seclusion and access, differing from pricey Montana ranchland.
