Lynn Grooms For Agri-View

McKenna Reichling remembers her big brother, Myles Reichling, for his outgoing and sometimes wild personality. In addition to working with his farming family, he enjoyed bowling, snowmobiling, trucks, sports cars and riding his Harley Davidson.

Wisconsin Farm Center

After a farmer obtains a counseling-service voucher from the Wisconsin Farm Center, he or she will contact a participating provider and identify themselves as a referral from the Wisconsin Farm Center. The farmer gives the voucher to the provider as payment. Vouchers can be used for either tele-counseling or in-person sessions that are at least one hour in length. Participating providers must be licensed, registered with the program and comfortable with offering counseling to farmers – or have a good understanding of agriculture and its challenges. After the appointment is complete, the provider forwards the voucher to the Wisconsin Farm Center to obtain payment. Providers are reimbursed at a fixed pre-determined rate. Visit datcp.wi.gov – search for “farm center” – for more information.
