LAFAYETTE COUNTY - WISCONSIN
5 Generations
of Farming
on the Ruf
Family Farm
Oakley Duerst
Left to right: Alan Ruf, Donald Ruf, Oakley and Tyler Duerst.
At the turn of the 20th Century, about the time that the Ruf family
began farming in Lafayette County, Chris, a Swiss immigrant, and
his wife Lena were fairly representative of the families moving
across the upper Midwest in the hopes of establishing a new life
in America. When Chris and his wife Lena purchased their 166
acre farm, almost half the U.S. population lived on a family farm.
The lifestyle was challenging. There were few industrial products
to help the family with the farm chores. There was no electricity to
illuminate the darkness. Most farms provided a subsistence lifestyle
with the hope of some cash generated through any surplus.
107 Years and 5 Generations
of Family Farming
Back in 1909, the Ruf family milked 30 cows and raised crops. By
1927 one of Chris’ sons, Paul bought the farm with his wife Martha.
Paul farmed until he passed in 1948. Martha continued to farm with
her sons until 1953. Donald Ruf and his wife Janis bought the farm
from Martha in 1961. They added to the existing barn, built machine
sheds and a calf shed. Alan Ruf, one of Donald and Janis’ boys
started farming with his dad and has been farming ever since.
In 2006 they built a double twelve parlor in the existing barn and
a free stall shed. They recently added on to the existing free stall
shed to accommodate more cows and built a calf shed. The herd
of milking cows reached 250 head with a total herd of 750 cattle
and continues to grow. They now grow corn, alfalfa and oats on
750 acres. All the calves are raised to be bred or sold.
Alan and Janice had 2 daughters. After 4 generations of farming
it looked like the Ruf farm would not continue in the family for much
longer. But Tyler Duerst, a son-in-law, approached the family in
hopes of becoming the next generation of family farmers on the
Land. Coming from a 100 year old family farm himself, it seemed
like a natural choice to continue the tradition with his own young
family.
Times have certainly moved on in many ways. From milking by
hand in a stanchion barn to milking in a parlor; from field work with
horses to plowing by tractors, one thing has not changed the RufDuerst family love for farming. Tyler and his wife Danielle (Ruf) Duerst
have recently had their first child, a boy. Four generations including
86 year old Donald and 79 year old wife Janis Ruf currently live on
the farm. Donald has lived in the same house on the farm his entire
life. The sixth generation will no doubt experience many changes
as he grows to adulthood on his family farm but the love of family
farming will continue.

Governor Walker Signs
Improvements to IOH Laws
■ ■ ■ ■ wfbf.com ■ ■ ■ ■
Governor Scott Walker has signed a Wisconsin Farm Bureau
Federation-backed bill that makes changes to the state’s laws
regarding the use of farm machinery on roadways.
Senate Bill 448, authored by State Senator Jerry Petrowski
(R-Marathon) and State Representative Keith Ripp (R-Lodi), is the third
bill regarding implements of husbandry (IOH) to be addressed by the
Legislature in the last two years. The two previous bills were signed
into law in April of 2014 and 2015.
“Senate Bill 448, like its predecessor, addressed some issues that
are more technical in nature as we strive to make this law work in a
practical manner,” explained Rob Richard, Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s
Senior Director of Governmental Relations.
SB 448 passed both houses of the Legislature in February. This
legislation is now formally known as Act 232.
DSC04810“Farm Bureau members would like to thank Senator
Petrowski and Assemblyman Ripp for their work on this issue as it has
evolved over the past few years,” Richard said.
Some of the major provisions in bill are:
Current law requires an implement dealer to disclose the axle
weight(s) and gross vehicle weight of an implement upon sale. This
bill further clarifies that the disclosure must be in writing and that the
“unladen” vehicle weight be disclosed at the point of sale.
SPRING HOME
IMPROVEMENTS
Make your garage door stand out!
The definition of farm tractor has been updated to reflect recent
changes in statutory language from the two previous IOH bills.
Changes several references in statutes of “from farm to field,
from field to field, or from farm to farm” to “to or from a farm-related
destination” to capture the true movement between or among farms,
fields, agricultural storage or processing facilities, locations where
an IOH or Ag-CMV is stored (i.e. custom operators or agricultural
cooperatives), or any combination of these.
Three specific changes have been made to the statutes governing
the definition and use of the slow moving vehicle (SMV) sign.
“We believe these changes better reflect the true purpose of the
SMV sign, to indicate the slow moving speed of a vehicle and nothing
else,” Richard said.
The 2015 Budget Act created a provision allowing a farm tractor
to be exempt from registration for, among other things, “occasional
personal use, but not for regular daily transportation”. This language
is being deleted to instead permit the registration exemption for
“testing, maintenance, and storage purposes.”
Federal law does not authorize an Ag-CMV that exceeds 8.5 feet in
width to be operated on the interstate highway system unless it has an
oversize permit from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. This
was understood, but it will now be expressly written out in statutes.
For the movement of IOH within a 75-mile radius from implement
dealer to farmer or vice versa, the statutes are clarified with regard to
the operation, towing or transport of IOH.
The bill clarifies that if someone is transporting an IOH that exceeds
8.5 feet in width at times other than hours of darkness, they must have
amber flashers activated to mark the lateral extremities of the IOH.
The bill allows an applicant for a no fee permit to submit only one
application for multiple IOH or Ag-CMVs if those vehicles listed in the
application are identical.
“For example, if a custom operator has a fleet of 10 terragators and
they are all the exact same vehicle, the maintaining authority must
accept one application for those vehicles and any no fee permit that
is issued to the operator/owner can be copied and utilized in all the
vehicles listed on the application,” Richard explained.

GRANT COUNTY - WISCONSIN
A True Family Farm
Located in the Lancaster area, the Oyen family farm is on its
second generation of active ownership. The farm was purchased in
1973 by Ron and Rita Oyen from Ralph Harasha. Roger Oyen, their
son, worked at BJ’s Dairy Farm until 1989, when he and his wife Jan
rented a farm on County Trk. A between Bloomington and Lancaster.
have converted part of their stanchion barn into a double 8 milking
parlor - by themselves. They have also changed to using a TMR mixer
and bunker silos.
They have a shop for fixing machinery on their land where they
also work on machinery for others. Shane, generation 3 of the Oyen
family farmers also is certified to fix diesel engines.
The Oyen family’s commitment to keep the land as a family farm
determines their decisions for growth and production plans. The
farm is 255 acres with 166 of them tillable. Their herd consists of 75
Since purchasing the farm from Roger’s parents,
they have converted part of their stanchion barn
into a double 8 milking parlor - by themselves.
Pictured left to right: Kelly’s cow - Red, a 4 year old Registered Holstein, a milk class
leader, cheese leader, protein class leader and fat class leader through Grant DHIA co-op;
Shane, Kelly, Jan and Roger Oyen.
By 1997 Roger and Jan were back on the family farm working
together with Ron and Rita. By 2001 Roger and Jan purchased the
255 acre farm from their parents. Both Roger and Jan come from big
families with 9 siblings each. Roger grew up as one of 7 boys with 3
sisters, Jan was 1 of 7 girls with 3 boys.
Both Roger and Jan understand the value of hard work and
commitment. Since purchasing the farm from Roger’s parents, they
Holsteins. They also grow corn and hay. They have kept the farm in
the family by living within their means and working hard. The Oyens
plan to keep the farm a family farm size by continuing to farm it
themselves.
In addition to Shane’s help on the farm, Jan and Roger have a 14 year
old daughter, Kelly and a daughter Amanda (Jess Carns). Amanda
added the 4th generation to the Oyen family of farmers when she
recently made Roger and Jan first-time grandparents. Roger and Jan
are great examples to the farming community. You don’t necessarily
have to “go big or get out.” By keeping their herd a manageable size
of 75, the family can take care of the whole operation. They even find
a little time to relax by taking an occasional motorcycle ride. In his not
so spare time, Roger also enjoys participating in antique tractor pulls
at the Grant County Fair.

Certain agricultural vehicles are now allowed to exceed weight

it allows farmers to transport larger loads of harvested crops from the

“The Wisconsin Farm Bureau wishes to thank Senator Petrowski for
hearing the concerns of farmers who grow early-maturing crops like
potatoes, peas and beans,” said Rob Richard, WFBF’s Senior Director
