Schallers farm their way to surprising success

Ken Schaller and his father Louis run a 90 cow dairy on 160 acres near Chippewa Falls, not renting land or growing grain for sale. They feed silage from the entire corn plant and oatsage from oats, buy replacements, and keep debt free while shipping over 1.25 million pounds of milk annually to Falls Dairy Co. Their strategy centers on high quality forage and offbeat farming choices.

Schaller dairy farm plans expansion on 100 acres

The Schaller family, farming on 100 crop acres, plan to add 20 cows as son Bob joins the operation after high school. They rely on purchased cows instead of youngstock, buy hay rather than grow it, and emphasize efficient feeding to maximize milk output while avoiding debt. They expect notable gains in efficiency and time, with future building and succession plans in place.
