Sturgeon Bay’s Tyler Baudhuin tried pursuing a different path after high school, but his return to the farm could earn him an award this weekend in Weston. Baudhuin is one of six finalists for the Wisconsin Outstanding Young Farmer Award, which honors young men and women who have thrived in agribusiness while remaining active in their communities.
Also among the nominees are Perry and Cassandra Baeten of New Franken; Luke and Ashley Lisowe of Malone; Alissa and Travis Murray of Omro; Derrick and Miranda Nelson of Eau Claire; and Ryan and Megan White of Reedsburg.
Baudhuin Farms has grown significantly since he joined his father, David, in the family business. The operation includes milking approximately 200 cows, raising Angus beef cattle, and farming more than 900 tillable acres. Baudhuin says he is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside his father and to show his three daughters and stepson the pride he takes in his work.
The award will be presented during the 72nd Wisconsin Outstanding Young Farmer Awards Weekend, with the winner potentially nominated for the national award. Baudhuin says he is looking forward to connecting with other young farmers from around the state during the event.
