The Petersons, own 800
acres and operate over 2,100 acres of farmland
two miles southwest of River Falls, Wisconsin.
The family is enthusiastic about the opportunity
to showcase and represent Pierce County
agriculture as part of Farm Technology
Days in 2010.
The farm consists of a dairy operation
combined with feeder cattle supported by
a sizeable cash grain enterprise. Their
management and workforce consists of five
children and three part-time employees.
In addition, Roger's parents, LeRoy and
Mary Alice Peterson are still very active
in their own farming operation and work
share with Roger and Beverly.
During the summer of 2009, the Peterson's
expanded their business with a new milking
parlor, wastehandling system and free stall
barn. This expansion enables the family
business to grow to support the increased
involvement of Roger and Beverly's children.
In less than
four months, a soybean field sprouted
the Peterson's new milking parlor, waste-handling
system and free stall barn.

Wieser Concrete delivers
precast product throughout the United States.
Due to the weight of precast, our products
are shipped by truck to the project jobsite
and most of the time, the only transportation
required is a truck.
On occasion, our trucks are not able to
complete the scheduled delivery without
some assistance to jump across the water...such
is the case with the LaPointe Wastewater
Treatment Facility project in LaPointe,
Wisconsin.
This project required a 12,000 gallon capacity
septic tank to be installed for a wastewater
project on Madeline Island. This size tank
is produced in two sections and was shipped
to La- Pointe on two (2) Wieser semis.
Once the trucks
reached Bayfield, Wisconsin, they boarded
the Madeline Island ferry which took them
to the Village of LaPointe on Madeline
Island, the largest of the Apostle Islands.
Madeline Island is 14 miles long and 3
miles wide with 45 miles of paved and nonpaved
roads.
In order to set this tank, a large crane
would be required so it, too, would find
its way to LaPointe via the ferry. Once
the ferry crossing was completed, Wieser
trucks and the crane continued their scheduled
delivery to the LaPointe jobsite and tank
installation began.
The tank was set in place soon after it
arrived on the jobsite and when installation
was complete, the Wieser delivery team
took another journey back across the water
where they completed their trip back to Wieser Concrete.
