# From Belgium to Indiana: The Story of Hulsbosch Dairy in Decatur County

America truly is the “land of opportunity” for so many people—including one family who moved from Belgium nearly 20 years ago and are now among the largest dairy producers in Indiana!

“It all started with my parents, Mary and Dominique, in 1987 with about 18 cows,” according to Wim Hulsbosch, co-owner of Hulsbosch Dairy south of Greensburg in Decatur County. He says his parents had a fast-growing dairy operation in their home country of Belgium.

“They grew the herd to about 80 cows. However, due to government restrictions or the quota system the Belgium government had in place at the time, my parents were not allowed to grow the dairy operation anymore. My two younger brothers (Vital and Roel) and I had expressed a lot of interest in dairy farming and agriculture as kids, so they wanted to make sure that for our future they could provide us with an opportunity to enter into agriculture. That was going to be very tough at an 80 cow dairy, so they started looking for opportunity elsewhere,” he says.
