Gregory Boehmer

After 39 years working on the railroad―he had the distinction of being, at 20 years old, the youngest engineer on the Milwaukee Road―Greg Boehmer now enjoys retirement on a 100-acre hobby farm financed with WESTconsin Credit Union. He and his wife, Sally, moved “out to the country,” as he calls his home, back in 2002.

But Greg is far from idle!

In addition to coordinating planting and harvesting of crops for the produce stand that has helped fund a local church since 2008, Greg is working on various solar and wind power projects while also restoring vintage farm equipment (“I love old tractors,” he admits). He purchased a new ATV, also financed through WESTconsin, and joined a local riding club as well.

“I’ve got my own backyard as a playground,” he says.
