Mike Boettcher grew up on his familyâ??s 100-cow beef farm in Fairchild, so heâ??s used to working outdoors.
As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Boettcher had intended on a career in animal science. But on a whim, he decided to take a class in horticulture. Today, he is the landscape manager for the Milwaukee Brewers under head groundskeeper Gary Vanden Berg.
