Soil and water plans for Epple farm outlined
The plan divides the five field farm into five 16 acre plots with a five year rotation of corn oats wheat and alfalfa hay and pasture. Woodlot removal on excellent class 1 land would involve cutting trees painting stumps and bulldozing five acres for about 100 dollars with higher costs if cleared later. Epple aims to tile low areas next year or two and establish permanent pasture on 17 acre river flat with high land seeded to alfalfa ladino clover and brome grass.

He cites extension economist Donald Stark's figures showing 1,000 pounds of milk yields 100 pounds of calf weight and concludes that selling veal at 190 pounds can outperform direct milk sales, especially for small herds of 10 to 12 cows.
