All of a sudden, you have this panic moment
of Oh my God, this is the first stage of
drowning, he said. The thought in my mind is
like, Theyre going to have to pull me out.
I wasnt afraid I was going to die, but I wasnt
sure I was going to be able to finish it.

City of Verona
Council considers permit for locally owned downtown micro-brewpub

Jim Ferolie
Verona Press editor
A year after Wisconsin

Brewing Company opened on
the outskirts of Verona, hoping to attract craft beer lovers flocking to a burgeoning
industry, smaller establishments are starting to follow
the trend, too.

Tuesday, the city Plan Commission advanced a plan for
Hop Haus Brewing Company,
a micro-brewpub with a limited food menu that would take
over a recently vacant spot
on South Main Street and be
owned by a local couple.
The Common Council will
consider next Monday whether

to allow a permit for the business, though the business will
not open for several months
and will need some time before
it comes back to the city for a
liquor license. It did not need
to go through two reviews at
the commission level because
the building is existing, though

Miller joins
senior center
New program
manager starts in
Verona Sept. 15
Scott De Laruelle
The Verona Senior Center will soon have a new

friendly face and someone
to help coordinate its many
activities.
Jennifer Miller will start
her duties later this month,
said Verona city administrator Bill Burns, after
she recently accepted an
employment offer. Miller
has a bachelors degree in
recreation therapy from
UW-La Crosse, and since
2009 has served as an
activity and volunteer assistant at the St. Marys Adult

Day Health Center.
Verona Senior Center
director Mary Hanson said
staff members are excited
to welcome her aboard, noting that Miller is also a personal fitness trainer.
She is well equipped
to serve both the younger,
more active seniors, and
those in need of more adaptive, supportive programming, Hanson said. This
depth of experience, along
with her positive, upbeat
style and creativity, make
her an excellent fit for the
program manager position.
Miller replaces Chris
Nye, who left the position
earlier this year.

Brew Pub: Business would focus on its own beer, not food
Continued from page 1
and Depot streets have
at times been blocked by
patrons of the previous restaurant.
Commissioners had a
handful of questions about
the application, such as
ventilation of the processed
brew (there wont be any),
whether to limit hours
(planning director Adam
Sayre suggested the liquor
license was a better process
for that) and of course the
parking, which is always
an issue downtown.
But as District 3 Ald.
Brad Stiner noted in his
own public comments and
in discussions with the
couple afterward, there is
ample parking at Hometown Junction as long as
the owners train their
patrons where to park and
where not to park.
The commission voted
4-0 in favor and wished
the couple, Phil and Sara
Hoechst, well in their
endeavor.
A description of the
business turned in with
the application said the
business would serve only
frozen food, intended to

complement the drinks,
and would make 90 percent of its beer sales on
site, with some sales to
other local establishments.
It would not sell liquor and
would only sell local wines
by the glass.
Hop Haus Brewing
Company strives to bring
people together over a
handcrafted beer, the
description says.
In comments to the
Press after the meeting,
the Hoechts said they
still werent sure whether
theyd bring in food from
other establishments,
encourage patrons to bring
in their own food, as Wisconsin Brewing Company
does at its tap room, or
stick with frozen food, but
in any case, they said, they
want the emphasis to be on
the beer, not the food.
Phil Hoechst, a Germany
native who grew up in the
area, has been home brewing for some time, and he
told the Press that after
visiting Germany recently,
he found there were many
similar establishments that
did well as neighborhood
pubs. He and his wife also

saw such places thrive in
Denver before they moved
back here two years ago.
The business would be
located in the 2,500-squarefoot former Figaros, Cousins Subs and Chocolate
Shoppe, which reduced its
offerings over the past few
years and finally closed in
May, when owner Andy
Lanz decided not to renew
his franchise agreement after
10 years.
The business description
notes its proximity to the
Military Ridge State Trail.
It is also directly across
from Tuvalu Coffeehouse,
which serves a limited
selection of bottled brews
and food made elsewhere
and hosts live music on
weekends.
Putting destinations like
these together would fit in
well with the citys downtown plan, which is emphasizing unique locations and
aesthetically pleasing surroundings to compel passersby, both on Main Street
and the bike trail, to stop
by and visit. Plan Commissioners noted this Tuesday.
According to the
business description, the

two owners would be the
main employees, running
the 3.5-barrel brewhouse
behind a glass enclosure in
the middle of the business.
They would also employ
several part-time staff
for the taproom, which
initially would be open
Tuesday through Saturday
evenings (with some flexibility for things like Monday Night Football, perhaps) and always close by
10 p.m.
Phil Hoechst told the
Press he will continue to
work as a physical therapist while they lease the
building this fall and work
on the buildout, then the
two will become full-time
entrepreneurs, with Phil
brewing and Sara providing a variety of support
roles.
The description also
makes a special point to
say it will not be a sports
bar, though it will have
televisions for special
events and sports.
Much the opposite, we
would like conversation to
be the main interaction and
entertainment, it says.

tripped by a classmate on the

playground and broke his collarbone. His long-awaited soccer career was ended for the fall
season.
But likely the incident and
being out for the fall season fueled
his passion. By spring he was on
the field and back in the game.
Kevin played on a community
youth soccer team all the way
through eighth grade. There was
no soccer program in the Verona
schools, so during his high school
years, Kevin ran cross country,
played tennis, joined the swim
team and took up cycling. But he
continued his love of the game of
soccer.
When he entered college at
UW-Oshkosh, Kevin tried out for
the soccer team, but he could not
compete with players who had
had four years of high school soccer experience, and unfortunately,
he did not make the team. Kevin
was, however, good enough to
be invited by the teams coach to
play with him on a club team.
As an adult, Kevin took up
mountain biking, hiking and ice
hockey, but he continued to play
soccer, the game he most loved,
unaware that he had a rare congenital heart condition, one which
his family would eventually learn,
had taken the lives of most others
who had the condition in early
adolescence. Kevin was somehow
granted an additional 20 years to
continue to enjoy life and play
soccer.
All three of Kevins brothers

also played soccer. By the time
his youngest brother reached high
school, soccer had become a varsity sport and the Veronas boys
team made it to the state tournament.
Now, so many years later, if
you walk or ride through the
streets of Verona, you cannot
miss the soccer goals in every
park. You can see myriad children
playing soccer everywhere, you
can see the success of the Verona
Area High School boys and girls
soccer teams, and you can recognize the remarkable Reddan
soccer complex and its impact on
the community. All of that which
speak to the legacy begun and left
behind by one hopeful, soccerloving little boy, so many years
ago.
It will be nine years ago this
September that Kevin died while
playing his favorite sport; it will
be 36 years ago this September
that Kevin, and his love of the
game, began the soccer legacy
that Verona enjoys today.
Beverly Hartberg has been a
Verona resident since 1976. She
has watched and enjoyed youth,
high school, college and semiprofessional soccer through
her four sons and continues to

It is the centers mutual

The 9/11 memorial exhibit features a variety of educational tools.
Exhibit: In Verona Sept. 8

started thinking about all
the kids we serve in the
community that are my
daughters age and they
dont really know.
That is one reason the
library is hosting a one-day
exhibit titled 9/11 Never
Forget that pays tribute
to all who sacrificed on
that day. The exhibit travels nationally on a 53-foot,
state-of-the-art tractortrailer, which expands into
a 1,100 square foot walk
through, mini-museum.
Verona is the exhibits only
stop in Wisconsin.
Not only will it educate
youths, but it will also provide valuable historical
context for people of all
ages and serve as a jumping
off point to other meaningful conversations, Simons
said.
We (adults) remember a
lot of things, but we dont
remember all of it, he said.
The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation
created the exhibit in honor
of New York firefighter
Stephen Gerard Siller.
According to its website,
after the planes hit the towers on 9/11 Siller, strapped
60 (pounds) of gear to
his back, rushed on foot
through gridlocked traffic
and ran from the Tunnel to
the Towers where he gave
up his life while saving others.
The exhibit includes a
variety of interactive educational tools, such as
artifacts, news and video
recordings and recordings
of first-responder radio
transmissions. All such artifacts were chosen for the

exhibit by firefighters.
The exhibit also includes
a piece of steel from the
actual towers that will be on
display for people to touch,
said library adult program
coordinator Trudy Lorandos.
At least one New York
firefighter who was at
Ground Zero on 9/11 will
also be there to give live
tours through the minimuseum and provide an
eyewitness account of the
events that day.
Thats a pass of knowledge that they are going to
have that we have never
heard before, Simons said.
Most people are not going
to ever get to the Twin
Towers Memorial in New
York City. Its a way to
bring that to them the best
that can be done.
For those interested in the
exhibit, admission is free
and it will be open from 1
to 7 p.m. on Sept. 8 at the
Verona Public Library, 500

We like to be able to
bring things to the community, Simons said.
Whether thats through
books or Internet conductivity or things like this
where we physically bring
that chunk of history to us.

Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit

It may seem odd that the very first of the beatitudes
bestows a blessing on the poor in spirit and promises that
the kingdom of heaven is theirs (Matthew 5:3). Should we
not seek spiritual riches rather than spiritual poverty? One
chapter later we are told to store up treasure in heaven,
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
(Matthew 6:21). The blessing for the poor in spirit is not
meant to denigrate spiritual treasures but rather to elevate
the spirit of poverty and humility. Jesus says repeatedly
that he did not come to call those who are already saved,
but rather to save the lost. The healthy do not need a doctor, but the sick do. We would do well to remember here
that the scribes and Pharisees were paradigms of virtue,
rich in spirit and proud of their piety, but, didnt seem to
need or heed Jesuss message. Jesus had vastly more to
offer the weeping adulteress who was thrown at His feet
than he did to her accusers. And He had more respect for
the impoverished widow who humbly put her two small
coins in the temple treasury than the wealthy who made
a show of putting in larger amounts. God loves the poor,
and those who are poor in spirit even more, so we should
count it a blessing when we are feeling lowly and humbled.
- Christopher Simon via Metro News Service
Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be
turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Ironman: Pedretti raises money for Tri 4 Schools, org. that has helped his phy ed classes
jump back into the water
with around 2,500 competitors for the longest swim
yet: 2.4 miles across Lake
Monona as the opening leg
of the Ironman.
As he dives in, hell do
it knowing hes got plenty of support behind him
after raising $5,000 for Tri
4 Schools, a group a group
that organizes kids triathlons in the area and donates
money to school phy ed
programs like Pedrettis at
Core Knowledge, Country
View and New Century.
Theres hundreds of
good causes, but this is
something that has directly
benefited my students and I
think its an awesome program, Pedretti said.
After the swim, hell follow with a 112-mile bike
ride that passes through
Verona twice and finish the
day with a marathon that
ends in downtown Madison.
As the race passes
through Verona, Veronans
and spectators who bus in
from Madison after the race
begins can cheer on the
competitors at the annual
Loop Festival as bikers pass
twice through the city. The
festival will be on Main
Street, across from the high
school.
Pedretti will bike past
that festival Sunday on the
way to finishing one of
the more grueling physical
challenges hes ever undertaken. Despite the physical
toll its taken to get himself ready, hes enjoyed the
process, though he doesnt
expect an encore to his
Ironman performance.
Even though I dont plan
to do any Ironmans after
this, I do plan to keep doing
triathlons, he said. Ive
enjoyed it, and I like how
its a balance of those three
different individual aerobic
activities.
Road closures
As Ironman bikers pass through Verona twice
Sunday, motorists should be ready for a number of
delays and road closures to accommodate the race.
Roads affected will be East Verona Avenue,
Whalen and Cross Country roads, Locust Drive,
South and North Main, Paoli and Bruce streets and
Old Hwy. PB.
Long delays are expected especially at the intersection of PB and Whalen Road, as racers enter
and leave Verona there.
The ramps at U.S. Hwy. 18-151 and Paoli Street
will be closed during the race.

Swimming
Two years ago, the swimming leg was a wake-up
call for Pedretti on just how
hard a triathlon can be.
I got convinced into
doing my first triathlon, and
I was like, Oh thisll be no
problem. Its just a short
little swim, 15 miles or so
(on the bike) and a 5K run,
no problem, he recalled.
I got out there and I found
out right away, Hey,
youve got to take every
part of this really serious.
As a former lifeguard,
Pedretti recognized the first
stage of drowning, and ended up finishing 101st out
of 101 competitors in the

swimming leg of that race the water.

as he doggy-paddled and
As recently as this sumback stroked his way out of mer, he was still struggling
with putting his face in the
water for some open-water
swims.
The first half of the summer, I remember thinking,
I might be done before the
swim is over (in the Ironman), said Pedretti. Now
Im feeling a lot more confident about that.
But his coach and training teammates at Madison
Multisport kept encouraging him, and as a swim
teacher, he tried to take a
piece of his own advice.
This is the kind of thing
that I tell my students to do
all the time, he said. You
just gotta try, and then
youll look back at this and
think, Oh, why was this so
hard? So that was really
what kind of pushed me
through that. And Im glad
I did.
Running
Once Pedretti, 35, got
past the mental block of
open-water swimming, the
rest was simple: Deal with
the physical wear and tear
on his body to get ready
26.2-mile marathon.
Running should have
been the simple part, as
he had first started training for marathons as a college freshman after running
cross country as a student at
VAHS.
But a pinched nerve in his

back prevented him from
spending any time running from February 2013
to March of this year, other
than aqua jogging.
On March 5, however,
the pool schedule got mixed
up, leaving him without an
option other than an out-ofthe-pool workout.
I was like, I gotta get
this workout in, he said.
It was not a run, I speedwalked for three-and-ahalf miles, and I remember thinking, This might
be what I have to do at the
Ironman.
A week later, he went
out to speedwalk and felt
like he could try a jogging
motion and made it through
the entire run, cutting nine
minutes from the time it
had taken him to do the
same distance in a speedwalk.
Five months later, he ran
23.5 miles in one day.
To go from two years
without a pain-free run,
then to doing five miles
a week to then being able
to do almost 30 miles in a
weekend, its just really
ramped up, he said.
Biking
While the back pain got
in the way of his running,
that left more time for biking, which was the one
thing that actually made
(my back) feel better,
Pedretti said.
That led him to do over
3,000 miles of biking this
summer getting ready, or
enough to go from New
York to San Francisco, as
Pedretti tells it.
What I can do on the
bike now is just, it just
shocks me, he said.

Its a really cool feeling

to be in the middle of the
workout and be like, I
dont know how Im doing
this right now.
His progress has continued to surprise him, even
through the half-Ironman
he did earlier this year.
I averaged over 22 miles
an hour for two and a half
hours, he said of the July
race. I remember looking
down at the speedometer
and there were at least
a half-dozen times I looked
down at my watch and
thought, How am I doing
this?
Living near the Ironman bike loop as it passes
through Verona didnt hurt
either, as Pedretti got familiar with the route and got to
measure his progress on the
same course hell ride with
hundreds of others Sunday.
Why Tri?
Pedrettis connection to
Tri 4 Kids runs between
both his personal and professional life.
The organizations founder, Katie Hensel, is a fellow
VAHS alum, and although
they graduated five years
apart the two were connected through a mutual friend.
Since then, the program has
helped donate thousands
of dollars to VASD phy ed
programs, helping Pedretti
get new equipment.
You go from trying to
catch up with all the equipment thats getting worn
down to being like, I can
replace almost all of the
equipment thats worn

look at getting some new
stuff, he said of what the
organization has done for
the phy ed programs at his
schools. Its been years
since Ive been able to get
new things that we didnt
have.
So when Pedretti, who
has also helped out at Tri
4 Kids events around the
county, approached Hensel
about raising money for the
group through his Ironman
race, she was really excited about it.
Its a perfect fit for getting out awareness about
what we do, Hensel said.
Pedretti made it to his
$5,000 goal (a pretty significant amount, Hensel
said) Tuesday morning.
Even before meeting the
goal, though, he said he was
grateful for the support the
community has given him
and the organization.
Its been really awesome, he said.

that Verona defeated Middleton in the regular season.

Verona defeats Middleton

Junior Beata Nelson and the

Verona/Mount Horeb girls swimming co-op slayed a giant last Friday, defeating four-time defending
Big Eight Conference champion
Middleton for the first time, 89-81.
Nelson won both of her individual events and led each of her
relays to the wall in the historic
win.
Not surprisingly, the staterecord holder in the 100-meter
freestyle blew away the competition by more than four-and-a-half
seconds with a time of 57.63.

Beata is a versatile swimmer
we can put her anywhere in the
lineup, whatever is best for the
team against a given opponent, and
she will do well, Verona/Mount
Horeb head coach Bill Wuerger
said.
Nelson was even better defending her other state title, taking the
100 backstroke close to eight seconds ahead of the second place
competitor from Middleton in
1:03.36.
The girls were very excited
about the outcome of the meet,
Wuerger said. Top to bottom, the
team stepped up and swam very Junior Beata Nelson splashes up in the 100-meter backstroke in her final 50

Dont tell senior captain

quarterback Noah Roberts
that the Verona Area High
School football season is
over after last Fridays 32-9
loss to Middleton (2-0).
Roberts said he talked
with graduate quarterback
Trevor Burmeister who
helped Verona overcome
a big loss to Middleton
by winning the conference and making the state
title game with 10 straight
wins in 2008 and Roberts
believes the Wildcats (0-2)
can do the same this season.
Looking at history, it
is not out of the question
that we can win out and
win the conference and go
to the playoffs, Roberts
said. There is always that
to look forward to. We just
have to stay positive.
But Verona does have
to improve after a fourthquarter collapse in week 1
and an offensive letdown in
week 2.
The Wildcats only had
six first downs last Friday,
while the Cardinals had 21.
And Middleton outscored
Verona 23-0 in the second
half.
But Roberts and head
coach Dave Richardson
said it came down to a
few plays that could have
changed the momentum for
Verona.
For Roberts, it was a
pass he threw on a thirdand-7 with under six minutes to play in the third.
Senior defensive back Max
Boehnen intercepted the
pass, and Middleton later
scored on a 1-yard run by
junior running back Cam
Maly.

Five starters return for 2014 season

Anthony Iozzo
The Verona Area High School

volleyball team returns nine
players, including, five of seven
starters, in 2014, and head coach
Kelly Annen said the Wildcats
will be stronger and quicker this
season.
The lineup this year consists
of new players mixed with very
experienced players, Annen
said. The possibilities for this
group are unlimited and our success will be defined by how
hard we work and how close we
become as a team.
Junior first-team all-Big Eight
Conference setter Victoria Brisack (84 kills, 72 aces, 30 blocks,
149 digs and 723 assists), senior
second-team libero Samantha
Kolpek (175 digs), senior honorable mention middle hitter
Jessica Coyne (145 kills, 32 aces

and 22 blocks) and junior honorable mention outside hitter
Kylie Schmaltz (228 kills, 46
aces and 168 digs) are all back,
along with senior outside hitter
Hannah Miller, senior defensive
specialist Morgan Schmitz (176
digs), junior middle blocker Julie
Touchett (52 kills and 15 blocks),
junior outside hitter Karly Pabich (40 digs) and junior middle
blocker Grace Mueller (65 kills
and 18 blocks).
First-team outside hitter Maddie Vogel (279 kills, 49 aces,
19 1/2 blocks and 149 digs) and
outside hitter Leslie Banzhaf (11
blocks) are graduated from last
season.
Annen said the offense will be
led by Brisack again with the outside hitters stepping up to fill the
lost production of Vogel. But she
added that the defense will be the
key focus of the team this year.

The game will be structured
around our serve and passing
while highlighting the importance of controlling the pace and
tempo, Annen said. Kolpek
and Schmitz will be relied on for
their strong defensive and serving
abilities.
Conference outlook
Verona finished 7-2 in the Big
Eight Conference last season, and
it took third in the conference
tournament.
Annen said she expects the
Wildcats to compete for the
conference title again with Sun
Prairie (9-0, first) and Middleton (8-1, second) being the other
teams competing for the Big

Nameth resumes rivalry with Hacker

Jeremy Jones
Sports editor
The rivalry between Verona Area

High Schools Ryan Nameth and Madison Wests Olin Hacker grew into one
for the ages last season.
The top two distance runners in the
state, however, saw Nameth fall less
than five seconds behind Hacker at last
seasons state cross country meet and
less than a second behind Hacker in the
3,200 at state track.
Nameth, who finished third overall in his first season at the state cross
country meet in Wisconsin Rapids, has
improved every season. And is focused
on knocking Hacker off his throne this
season.
The rivalry should only grow this fall
and the duo could face off against one
another seven times before this falls

to start the season.
Gone from last year are seniors Luke
Waschbusch and Ben Feller, who were
the teams second and third runner at
sectionals, as well as fellow senior
Elliot Imhoff.
Their departures leaves junior Brady
Traeder and senior Nick Stigsell return
as the Wildcats next best runners, finishing as the teams final two varsity
scorers at sectionals last season.
Traeder is coming off a super track
and field season in which he finished
20th in the 3,200.
Junior Alec Shiva saw significant
time on varsity a year ago and will help
the team out even more as an upperclassmen, while seniors are Ben Giese,

early in the season, and I wouldnt mind losing to these teams if they werent conference

tried to regain the momentum on a
fake punt early in the fourth quarter,
but senior Nick Hansons pass was
dropped on what would have been a
first down.
Middleton once again capitalized
on the next drive as Maly picked up
an 18-yard touchdown run to make it
25-9.
Maly added his third touchdown
of the half with a 1-yard run to finish
the scoring.
It was a lineman error or a missed
pass, Richardson said. It is just one
or two errors, and we dont have a
lot of room for error anymore in this
conference because everyone has
elevated their game.
We have to understand that and
fight back and make sure that doesnt
happen.
Verona did move the ball a little better in the first half, as Roberts connected with senior split end
Christian Baltes on a 43-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. But
that ended up being the only touchdown the Wildcats would get.
Hanson made a 29-yard field goal
to put Verona up 9-3 in the second,
before Maly scored his first of four
touchdowns on a 20-yard run with
under a minute left in the first half.
Roberts finished 8-for-25 for 106
yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, while Middleton senior
quarterback Kellan Schulz completed 12 of 26 passes for 217 yards.
Maly had 20 touches for 94 yards,
and senior captain running back Eric
Schmid struggled to 39 yards on 18
carries.
My biggest concern right now is
our offense and our offensive line,
Richardson said. So we have to look

that can rotate in where we are struggling.

We have been working extremely
hard, but I think we need to be smarter and more fundamentally sound,
he said. I also think we need to calm

I thought the defense played
much better than last week, he said.
We are getting to know the kids a

be better but we will have a different

Verona Press Correspondent
Four Wisconsin dairy

farm families opened their
farms to the neighborhood
throughout August as part
of the Agricultural Community Engagement (ACE)
On-the-Farm Twilight

The ACE On-the-Farm
Twilight Meetings are
offered through a partnership between Professional
Dairy Producers (PDPW),
the Wisconsin Towns Association and the Wisconsin

The meetings are an
opportunity to bring local
community leaders, dairy
producers and community
members together to discuss important issues and
address questions and concerns.
On-farm programs like
the ACE On-the-Farm Twilight Meetings help agriculture and the residents of
local communities better
understand each other so
we can coexist and thrive.
Agriculture touches so
much of community life
from the economic to the
environment to the quality
of life, said Shelly Mayer,
PDPW Executive Director.

Meetings.
double-10 parlor and crops

700 acres of corn and alfalfa.
When the Brown family transitioned from milking in a stanchion barn to a
parlor in 1999, one of their
main motivations was consistency.
Its like going to
McDonalds, Yogi Brown
explained to community
members, Every time
you order a Big Mac, you
always get the exact same
thing. Like us, cows thrive
off of consistency.
Another practice that

the Brown family utilizes
for consistency is an automatic scrubber in their parlor. Instead of employees
hand-stripping and sanitizing udders before and after
milking, the Brown family
opted for a robotic scrubber for consistency for their
cows.
The Brown family houses their Holstein calves
in individual calf hutches
until they are 2 months old.
Calves are fed milk that is
pasteurized each morning
on the farm. They then

grow their heifers until 8
months old, before they are
sent two miles down the
road to a heifer grower.
The heifer grower cares
for and breeds heifers for
the Brown family mainly
due to space issues at Sunburst Dairy. The Brown
family has utilized a heifergrowing operation for the
past 15 years.
After a full-farm tour,
community leaders, elected
officials, conservation officials, dairy and livestock
producers and community

members sat down to learn
from each other and address
questions and issues taking
place in agriculture.
One hot topic of the evening was discussion over the
docking of tails. On Sunburst Dairy, tails are docked
to ensure the production of
quality milk. In California,
laws are now in place to
prevent farmers from docking tails of their animals.
Community members asked
questions concerning why
tails are docked and what
will happen on Sunburst

Dairy if laws prohibit tail
docking in Wisconsin.
Rick Stadelman, who
will step down as executive
director of the Wisconsin
Towns Association (WTA)
at the end of the month,
spent time discussing the
Implements of Husbandry
(loH) law, which covers farm equipment used
for agricultural purposes.
Stadelman addressed questions and concerns about
the loH from producers and
consumers alike.
Its no secret that agriculture is an important part of
Wisconsins economy.
According to the UW
Department of Agriculture
and Applied Economics,
agriculture in Wisconsin
contributes $59.16 billion
to the states economy and
provides the states residents nearly 354,000 jobs.
Dairy is the majority share
of that contribution, bringing $26.5 billion to the
states economy.
Events like ACE Onthe-Farm Twilight Meetings allow producers to
step inside other operations, community leaders
and elected officials to discuss laws, consumers to
see where their food comes
from and farm families to be
advocates for agriculture.
As Brown puts it, We
like to be advocates for
agriculture. Opening our
farm to the public gives
consumers a chance to see
firsthand where their food
comes from.
