Paul Schroeder is yet another farmer I’ve gotten to know in the course of standing up for clean energy across the midwest.
I interviewed him at his operation near Montague, Michigan, a few months ago.
Like so many others, Paul tells me that having a diversified income is critical for Farmers that want to keep the farm solvent, and in the family.
This area is a prime one that developers are salivating to take over, and it’s only farmers like Paul that stand in the way of a permanent wave of burger joints, gas stations, subdivisions, ranchettes, strip malls, concrete and sprawl.
