Two of the state’s top young farmers call northeastern Wisconsin home, with the highest honor staying in the local area.

Sturgeon Bay’s Tyler Baudhuin was named the Wisconsin Outstanding Young Farmer on Saturday during a special ceremony in Weston. Perry and Cassandra Baeten of New Franken were named first runners-up. Other nominees included 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 has helped his father grow Baudhuin Farms to include milking approximately 200 cows, raising Angus beef cattle, and farming more than 900 tillable acres. Prior to the awards ceremony, Baudhuin said he was grateful for the opportunity to work alongside his father and to show his three daughters and stepson the pride he takes in his work.
