About Chippewa Valley Excavating

Bloomer sits in open Chippewa County farm country, and when a northwest wind gets going across those fields, snow can travel sideways a long way before it finds a place to stop. Chippewa Valley Excavating is an excavating business that moves earth while the ground is thawed, and winter only changes the material — an operator's feel for grade, now aimed at drifts. Late at night, with the wind still hissing across the corn stubble, the crew breaks open driveways and lots that filled back in after dusk. The finished work is broad and flat, scraped wide so the next gust has less to grab. In Bloomer, that's how a hard winter morning gets a fair start.
