| Roven Farms is located in Central Wisconsin, in the so called 'Central Sands' region, not far from the village of Coloma. We farm approximately 7800 acres of land. This consists of 2500 acres of corn, 1800 acres of soybeans, 800 acres of sweet corn, 1000 acres of kidney beans, 300 acres of rye, and 400 acres of peas (of which, 250 acres goes to green beans if timing it right). Once the peas and sweet corn come off, rye is planted in August. Some of the rye is harvested, and some used for a cover/green manure crop for kidney beans. |
