Willie and Candice Hughes
Willie’s passionate about doing right by the environment – including adding cover crops that keep crop nutrients in the field and out of waterways.
Rick and Kimberly Gehrke
Farming less than a mile away from Wisconsin’s Fox River makes Rick conscientious about the farming practices that can impact those downstream.
