Wisconsin farmer anticipates no major adjustments to spring schedule
A Wisconsin crop farmer is not expecting any big changes to his spring plans.
Shane Goplin raises corn, soybeans, and alfalfa near Osseo, Wisconsin. He tells Brownfield his spring inputs are lined up. “Everything is secured. I just secured the last of it last week.”
Goplin says this winter has been like most every other winter. “I’m looking forward to 2025 and making some tweaks. I don’t think we have to make any huge adjustments.”
Goplin says like most farmers, he’s looking for those little things that can improve efficiency and his bottom line. Goplin says his 2025 cost of production will be down slightly, but so will the prices, but he’s optimistic there will be opportunities to market his crops for a profit.
Goplin spoke top Brownfield during the Wisconsin Corn-Soy-Pork Expo in Wisconsin Dells.
Goplin doesn’t alter his crop rotation much, growing about 700 acres of soybeans,12-hundred acres of corn for grain, plus 350 acres of corn for silage and 500 acres of alfalfa for a neighboring dairy.
