Vir-Clar Farms

Vir-Clar Farms is a family owned and operated dairy and cropping operation. The dairy operation consists of 1,500 Holstein cows that are milked three times per day. The cropping operation is comprised of 2,800 acres, 2,100 owned and 700 rented. Crops grown consist of corn silage, corn grain, alfalfa haylage and wheat. In order to be an environmentally and neighbor friendly farm, a methane digester is used to reduce odor and the phosphorus load on the land. Currently the digester is producing renewable electric power for approximately 800 homes in the Fond du Lac area.
