Follows In Father's Footsteps Ottawan Farm Bureau Leader
In 1952 Wesley Sylvester was named a Kansas Farm Bureau Man Leader of the Year. Twenty years later his son Russell earned the same honor. The pair, mainly active in Riley and later Franklin County, run a joint operation on a now 580 acre Ottawa area farm after relocating in 1966. They own and lease land, maintain a 200 head feedlot and finish about 300 steers annually.
