Baldwin Greenhouse Scandal Ties FFA Winner to bankruptcy
The city of Baldwin Wisconsin grapples with the bankruptcy of Dale R. Wolf 1981 FFA agribusinessman of the year whose Baldwin greenhouse empire near collapse. Court filings show about 800000 in debt with Hammond State Bank facing up to 300000 owed. Former mentor John Christiansen says Wolf bought his Baldwin greenhouse then faced contested terms as both men claim the other moved to rebuild. Bank ownership changes complicate matters as other suppliers race to salvage Christmas inventory.
