Farming and ranching has been in Kenny Tremain’s blood since his boyhood and he
has never tired of it. He and his wife Sharon own and operate their farming and
ranching operation near LaGrange, Wyoming, where they live on his family’s original
homestead that was established in 1889. They are proud to have been married for
38 years and have raised two daughters, Rachel and Jennifer, who are both married
and live in LaGrange. Their operation includes dry-land wheat and cattle. Over the
years, Kenny spent 6 years living and working on a farm and ranch in Montana and
has served on various church boards. Kenny deeply cares about production agriculture
and notes that while some of the day-to-day operations of farming and ranching are
the same, the business end has changed dramatically. It is his desire to see the
agriculture lifestyle continue, but to be progressive and make the changes necessary
to help our industry prosper.

crop rotations sunflowers, millet, corn being used for that and would like to find
