Herrmann Named Wisconsin Outstanding Young Farmer 1978

He now advances to the national OYF contest in Topeka, Kan., where Jaycees will pick the top farmer under 35. Osterhaus and Peter Flaschinski placed behind him, while three others received plaques.

Northern farmer wins 1978 Outstanding Young Farmer title
Cumberland Joe Sirianni, a 34 year old dairy farmer near Greenleaf, led the Barron County bid to host the 1978 state OVF contest. He credited his wife Lynda and his former Valders instructor Len Turnell for guiding a goal oriented path toward success. Sirianni plans to run the event again in a couple years while continuing to manage his 200 acre farm and 40 cow dairy. He noted the contest's northern location was a deliberate choice to broaden regional reach.
