I'm Kenny Tremain. My Wife Sharon and I live 4 miles east of LaGrange. We farm and ranch the same place my great grandfather, Dr. David Tremain established in 1889. Our operation includes dry-land wheat and cattle. Much of farming and ranching operations have remained the same, but the business end has changed considerably. It is my desire to promote the farming industry and encourage others to get involved in it.

I am a fourth generation agriculture producer that lives in the Albin area where
my Great Grandfather homesteaded in 1887. I have been involved with wheat production
all of my life and belong to the Wyoming Wheat Growers to help promote the industry.
I have been producing Certified Wheat and Proso Millet seed for several years. I
have also had the University of Wyoming irrigated wheat varity trial on my pivots
for several years. I am in the process of changing part of my farm to no-till, with
crop rotations sunflowers, millet, corn being used for that and would like to find
different crops that would work in the rotations with wheat the base crop.
