Wayne and Ryan Staidl shared their story at the Wisconsin State Fair, being recognized as one of Wisconsin's Century Farms for 2021.  Wayne's grandfather was involved in construction work in Milwaukee, and after meeting his wife decided to settle down on a farm in Peshtigo, Wisconsin.  Surviving the Peshtigo fire, the farm has been passed down in the family for over 100 years.  Wayne and his son Ryan now own and operate the farm in partnership.  In the past the farm was dairy and cash crop, but now has converted to a cash crop, beef cattle and steer feeding operation.  Ryan's sons hope to someday take over the farm and continue the family legacy.
