Wisconsin is hosting the National Outstanding Young Farmer awards ceremony this year. Appleton will host roughly 200 people for the event Feb. 15-19. Wisconsin does have skin in the game: Kyle and Rachel Zwieg (pictured) from Ixonia are one of 10 couples in the finalist group. A committee of Outstanding alumni are in charge of putting this event together. Rich Norz and his wife, Debbie, are the program coordinators. They were Outstanding Young Farmers back in 2010 from a diversified farming operation in New Jersey. In case you’re unfamiliar with what the National Outstanding Young Farmer program is, Rich breaks it down for us.
