Hamerski Farms, Inc. has come a long way since Don Hamerski’s grandfather, Paul, came to Plover, Wisconsin in 1889 and started farming. According to Don, his grandfather raised “a little bit of everything, cows, potatoes, corn, you name it.” Don’s father, Joe, took over the farm in 1940 and Don formed a partnership with his father in 1961. Don took over the farm in 1964, and now farms with
his son, Jon, and his nephew, Dale O’Brien.
