Frank Victor Burcalow

Frank Victor Burcalow was born on a farm near Albany, Wisconsin, March 19, 1909. He graduated from high school at Monroe, Wisconsin, in 1927 and entered the University of Wisconsin in September of that year. He received the B.S. degree in Agronomy in 1932, with a minor in Agricultural Education. He operated the family dairy farm until 1935, when he became an Assistant in Agronomy in the University. He was an instructor in Agronomy, 1938–1941 and earned the M.S. degree in 1939. He continued in the Department of Agronomy and was appointed Professor in 1949. He held this position until his death at home, September 29, 1962.

In 1937 he married Lois Arlene Benkert. They had two children, Vicki Claire, now Mrs. Kent Johnson of Middleton, and Larry, at home, a sophomore in the University.

Professor Burcalow's principal interest was in the production and utilization of forage crops, especially as related to Wisconsin dairy farming.
