Bridgeside Dairy

• Kimball, MN

• Partner and Book Keeper

  • Sep 1983 - Present

  In the early years of operation, I assisted my husband primarily with the hay production. I acted as his gopher and assistant when not working offsite. After purchasing the farm, I became the book keeper. Though the name has not changed, the dairy operation has gone to the wayside and my husband and I are crop farmers, growing corn and soybeans. My husband, has always been the primary force behind our operation and now I am rarely in the field. My duties still include keeping the book work up-to-date and preparing for tax season.
