My name is Anthony Neitzke. I never grew up on a farm but my parents did and I was always interested in farming. I would help my grandpa and my neighbors milk cows and eventually I had a large garden and some chickens with my parents. I then attended UW River Falls as an Animal Science major.

This led me to finding the Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship. I spoke with Joe Tomandl and he ended up becoming my mentor. I just graduated the apprenticeship in

March 2022 and I look forward to my next few years as a Journeyman Grazier. Eventually I hope to be a Mentor Grazier myself on my own farm.
