Pavich Led NFO Through Tough Times in Wisconsin
Steve Pavich guided the National Farmers Organization in Wisconsin from 1967 onward, shaping its push for collective bargaining. He recalls dramatic protests that blocked calf sales, aided by packing firms and the government, and notes such actions may recur if conditions worsen. Pavich held multiple NFO leadership roles locally and statewide, helped found Wisconsin NFO, and served on state boards, shaping farm policy within a movement formed seven years before his presidency.
