Farmers start bottom and rise with steady plans
Rusk County dairy farmer Paul Schweigert and wife Linda rose from a run-down 5411 acre farm bought in 1975 to cash-flow and yield gains. They completed goals, earned the Wisconsin Forage Council Pacesetter Award, and outline 1980 85 and 85 90 plans to boost alfalfa to 8 tons per acre and corn to 150 bushels per acre while cutting fuel use and debt.
