Valuing family land

摘要

Fzrming flows in Patrick Zimmerer's blood. He's the fourth generation to tend the Huntley, Wyoming, farm homesteaded in 1926. He works with his parents, Bruce and Lorie Zimmerer. The Zimmerers raise silage corn and alfalfa hay. Their operation includes a 150-head cow-calf enterprise and the custom feeding of 300 to 500 commercial cows in winter. Ten acres of grapes, an on-farm winery and taste-testing room, along with a town-based retail store, comprise the newest farm enterprises.
