In the heart of Wisconsin’s agricultural landscape, a dedicated farmer is sowing the seeds of change. Scott Timm, hailing from picturesque Green County, was recognized as one of Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s 35 Under 35 for his exceptional contributions to sustainable agriculture.
Scott was named the top individual in Sustainable Environment because of his passion for the environment and his commitment to fostering a sustainable future for farming.
Scott’s story begins in the lush fields of Monroe, where the rolling hills and fertile land have been the backdrop to his family’s farming legacy. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of nature, Scott developed a deep appreciation for the environment and a strong sense of responsibility to preserve it.
His early experiences sowed the seeds of a commitment to sustainable farming practices that would later define his career.

His involvement in local and regional discussions has been instrumental in promoting the adoption of environmentally friendly practices.
