Finances or farming is part of life for Dan and Carl DeWall

Submitted by admin on Thu, 05/04/2023 - 11:50am

By KENT THOMPSON
Holstein cattle have been part of the DeWall family farm for a long, long time.

Only now rather than milking Holsteins, Dan and Carlton (Carl) DeWall are raising them for meat.

The father/son combination not only farm and raise cattle together, they are in a business partnership as well. The DeWalls recently relocated their financial planning business from Fort Dodge to Gilmore City.

“We’ve had dairy for a long time,” Dan DeWall said. “The bloodlines date back to my grandfather’s time.”

Read about their family story in the Salute to Area Beef Producers section exclusively in this week's Humboldt Independent.
