I'm a Wisconsin Redneck Dairy Farmer!

Eric Baeten in Wisconsin (America's Dairyland)

I live in New Franken, WI and I go to Luxemburg-Casco High School in Luxemburg, WI. I quit FFA because it does not stand for Future Farmers of America any more. I was thinking that Farmers for the Future would be a better club to join. I am only 18 years old and after I am done with High school I would love to have my own small family dairy farm somewhere in Wisconsin. I do live on a farm in New Franken, WI milking around 70 to 75 dairy cows. I live in a big family of six other brothers and 4 sisters, also my mom and dad. My dairy farm's name is AAA White Gold Dairy Farm. I like working with animals and driving tractor. On the farm for tractors, we have a Case-International 7110 Magnum, International 886, International 686 with loader, Farmall Super M, Farmall M, Farmall H, and a Ford Dextra! I do love all kinds of tractors like John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Fendt, AGCO, Challenger, New Holland, and all others! They're all good! I also want a small farm family too, but thigs like that might not happen! I don't want to go any smaller than 50 milking cows or any bigger than 200 milking cows on my future dairy farm. I want a good size dairy for me to handle and to pay the bills and still have money for myself. I want a farm with no less than 150 acres to start with but I do want to get up to like 300 to 600 in the future for my future farm. I do like milking cows but I might get hispanics to milk the cows for me because I don't think I can do all the other farm work and then milk. I don't want to hire to many people to work on my farm. Maybe someday I'll have my future kids help me on the farm like I do with my parents today. I do like the land around by me, its sandy in some areas but mostly clay. Good farmland! Oh I don't want a big family at all! Big familys just fight and fight! There can be good times, but most of the time it's fighting! Well anyway, if you have anything to ask, just ask!!!
Oh you can join me on my new site I made called Future Dairy Farmers of the World!!

Haha, yeah, I spent some of it on the wife. I've been in and out of school a few times since graduating from high school. I've got a few months left before graduating with an associates degree in architecture from NWTC. I also have a years worth of classes taken from FVTC's Farm Operations program, which I would like to also finish.

As far as I know, its the same golf course. Not sure if any of the original buildings are still there, never been there myself. As for my future, I plan on dairying again in the near future, but not sure when. 3-5 years maybe/hopefully. I'd like to pay off all my debt at minimun. I've bought too many things with that plastic money! lol

I'll have to look into that website. That's a pretty big dream but I have to agree it would be awesome to have cows at Expo! I went in 2008 for the 4-h conference and it was AMAZING! lol have u been there before?

Hey, I come from a small farm where I raised dairy goats and I worked on a dairy farm throughout high school. I love judging and showing cattle and I take it you do to?

Yeah, my family has a dairy history...my dad grew up on a farm in Luxemburg, which is now thw golf course. He bought a farm in Suring, which he operated for 38 years. Now the land is being rented and I live in Pulaski, going to classes at NWTC, and kicking myself every day for letting the herd go. I'm pretty frustrated with my life right now, and this economy sure as hell don't help!...
