Math Zopfi guides his three sons on a dairy farming path near Kay Pleine Marathon County, growing 126 acres with 40 head of cattle and horses. The family aims to stock cows and expand profits through silos and ensilage. Zopfi and brothers Edward and George oversee 126 acres, 42 in profit, with oats yields up to 5 bushels per acre and plans for 40 tons of lay felt.
Visitors from southern Wisconsin report Marshfield’s fall corn as the finest seen. Early season doubts gave way to a robust yield with corn eight to twelve feet high along travel routes, a striking stand that surpassed any prior expectations.
The Central Wisconsin State Fair in Marshfield featured a superb agricultural building display. Grains such as wheat and oats, forage crops like clover and alfalfa, a rich fruit selection, and Northern Wisconsin vegetables dominated the exhibit. Pumpkins, squashes, root crops, and late-season produce showcased the region’s farming abundance. The display stood as a strong advertisement for the dairy country and rural self-sufficiency.
The Loyal Tribune argues in its September 4 issue that despite western drought and northern bread-basket strains, Wisconsin will yield a large crop. Dairying and stockraising remain profitable, and silos will brim with millions of tons of corn grain.
