- Charles Fritz Farm

Charles
Fritz was born in Worland, Wyoming. Except for a tour in the army and
when working for USDA he has lived all of his life on the Fritz family
farm in the southern most part of Big Horn County.
The people and the view close to the mountains keep him here in the
Basin. His ancestors came from Germany and Missouri. Charles is a 3rd
generation operator of the Fritz farm and his Father has been there for
87 years. Charles likes to raise crops and cattle. He says “I guess
it’s in my blood”.
The
Fritz family is interested in all types of soil and water conservation.
They have applied grass water ways, a sprinkler system, gated and
underground pipe to their operation.
They say that they use water more efficiently now and have saved
on labor and time. The practices have also helped them produce more
crops per acre.
Charles
Fritz believes that there is no better occupation than farming and
ranching. Times aren’t as good right now but he claims that with the
increase in population there will be a bigger demand for farm products
and better times to come. He says he sees himself still farming 20
years down the road.
