When and why did you begin farming?
Ceylor: I began dairy farming in 1990 in Washington state. My husband, Gerald Ceylor, and I started building dairy on our farm in 1986. We tried to do as much as we could ourselves because we had a very tight budget. Due to area urbanization we moved our operation in 1997 to Wisconsin. My husband had always wanted to farm; we felt dairy would fit our acreage and area in the best way.
