1992 - Winters Farms

Brent & Judy Winters
Steve & Mary Winters

The Winters Families work together to make their living on Wyoming soils. The two brothers' (Brent & Steve) ancestors hail from Denmark. Their parents settled here to farm, and passed their farming knowledge down to their boys, who were born and raised here. 

The Winters families are active in school sports and enjoy hunting and fishing in the area. Brent and Judy have six children, they are hoping a couple of them may choose to stay and eventually take over the farming. 

The Winters have installed two center pivots and some wheel line sprinklers in order to use water more efficiently. They have noticed that alkali spots seem to fade with the use of the sprinklers. Less water is used with sprinklers and that is especially good in drought years. 

The Winters feel that the future of farming/ranching is a little scary and that only big corporate farms are making it. However they plan to "keep plugging" hoping to succeed. In ten years they would like to have had their kids take over (hopefully doing well). In twenty years retirement is their goal.
