The Invisible Enemy: The Audacity and Faith of One Incredible Wisconsin Dairy Family – Dairy Herd

In the world of dairy farming, we often talk about the things we can see: the quality of the silage, the conformation of a heifer or the rising numbers on a milk check. But for the Den Hoed family in northern Wisconsin, the most defining battle of the last 17 years has been against an enemy that is entirely invisible. It is a story of a silent killer that nearly broke their business, but instead, forged a family legacy of unshakable faith and the grit to build something entirely new from the ground up.

County Shuts Down 15-Year-Old’s Bait Stand on Family Farm, Threatens Daily Fines – AgWeb

“Under agricultural zoning in this county, you can have a roadside stand, but only for fruit, vegetables or ag products,” Beers adds. “He has a bait store. That is not allowed.”

Considering McKinney only operated at the end of the farm driveway for two weekends, how did the zoning office become aware of the teen’s farm stand? According to Beers, a “concern” was submitted by a local citizen, triggering county action. Beers contends the zoning office “did not get the name,” of the complainant.

What is the “daily forfeiture” penalty threatened by the county for continued operation of the bait stand? According to Beers, county officials are “not certain” regarding the penalty or fine amount.
