Verhoef Dairy Farm

The Verhoef family's agricultural roots trace back to the Netherlands. Although their farming journey started in the Netherlands, the Verhoefs spent two decades on a small farm in the Mayenne Department of France before they made the decision to seek new opportunities in the United States.

​

In 2012, they purchased a dairy farm in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Despite the colder winters, the family quickly adapted and expanded their agricultural operation. Today, they manage a thriving herd of 280-290 Holstein cows with the support of their two sons, who are actively involved in daily operations and long-term planning.

As herd size and milk production increased, manure management became a critical focus. With stricter nutrient management regulations and a continued desire to improve sustainability, the Verhoefs identified the need for additional manure storage to ensure proper timing of field applications and avoid runoff risks during the winter months.

​

In partnership with our agricultural concrete team, the Verhoefs commissioned a large-scale manure storage tank in 2024. The large waste storage tank is 205 feet in diameter, 12 feet in depth, giving the family almost 3 million gallons of waste storage capacity. The concrete tank is built with durability in mind and is tough enough to withstand the freeze-thaw cycles and heavy load conditions typical of Wisconsin winters.
