Wisconsin Farmer Profiles: Nick Guilette

Bob Danes, his wife Kelly, brother Mike, and Mike’s wife Christina own and operate a cash crop farm, grain cleaning business, and trucking enterprise near New Holstein in Calumet County. The family is one of a growing number of Wisconsin farm families who are working with other farmers to find ways to meet the increased demand for food while protecting our waters, building soil health, and storing carbon.

Bob is a member of the Calumet County Ag Stewardship Alliance (CCASA). He says that learning from the group and sharing his experiences with members is a central focus for him.
“The best part of being in the group so far is the media training,” he says. “I learned how to interact with members of the media to share facts about the work we’re doing and express how we’re improving the land and finding new ways to do things.”

Meet Bob and four more farmers, all of whom are members of farmer-led groups. The Nature Conservancy and our partners at Farmers for Sustainable Food and DATCP’s Producer-led Watershed Protection Grant Program are proud to support these farmers who are leading the way on conservation: https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states/wisconsin/stories-in-wisconsin/farmers-growing-sustainable-food/
