Pioneer Farm is a member of the Wisconsin Agricultural Stewardship Initiative - a statewide collaboration between producers, government and the University of Wisconsin System to evaluate best management practices in Wisconsin and form policies based on practices that will enhance the environment and produce a profit for the producer. Pioneer Farm was developed to provide agricultural and environmental research in a production setting representative of southwestern Wisconsin and the Upper Mississippi Basin Loess Hills. It is envisioned that the data collected by Pioneer Farm and other WASI research sites will be used to improve conservation practices, produce scientific data that can be used to develop reasonable and effective environmental legislation and serve as the basis for profitable and expanding agriculture in the upper Midwest.Pioneer Farm consists of 430 total acres with some of the best soil in southwest Wisconsin. Our gently rolling fields are managed with conservation in mind and are rotated between corn, oats and alfalfa on the 325 tillable acres. Our livestock enterprises include dairy, beef and swine.
