Old Order Dairy Farmers in Wisconsin
Dairying among Wisconsin’s Amish and Old Order Mennonite farmers expanded through 2017, and by early 2018 Amish farms contained 12.9 percent of the state’s total dairy herds of cows, goats, and sheep. Old Order Mennonite herds comprised 5.0 percent. Faced with a variety of challenges, Wisconsin lost 198 Amish herds between April 2018 and July 2020, yet its number of Old Order Mennonite herds grew. Together, these groups operated over half of the …
Continuity and Change: Amish Dairy Farming in Wisconsin Over The Past Decade
Changes in Amish dairy farming in Wisconsin over the past decade are seen in their growing numbers, the increased percentage of dairy farms that are Amish operated in the state, and the decreased share of the Amish population that is engaged in dairying. Use of technology in the Amish barn and fields represents both continuity and change. Among those Amish dairy farmers who utilize ten‐gallon milk cans to store and ship their milk, little change …
Changing Patterns of Cheese Manufacturing in America's Dairyland
Wisconsin has lost nearly 2,700 cheese factories since its peak in 1922. In this essay I review the changing spatial distribution of Wisconsin's cheese factories, both over the past three-quarters of a century and over the past twenty years. A century ago the crossroads cheese factory was a prominent part of the rural landscape, particularly in those portions of the state that were too distant from the Chicago and Milwaukee markets for shipment o…
Change in America's Dairyland
A traveler in Wisconsin today will pass numerous abandoned barns. Some of them, bereft of their cows, have been consigned to various alternate uses; others, with sagging walls or collapsed roofs, have lost all utility. That numerous Wisconsin farmers have ceased to milk cows is clear. Many of the remaining dairy farmers are housing and feeding their herds indoors rather than in pastures and, increasingly, are storing silage in huge, plastic-sheat…
Agroclimatic Hazards and Dairy Farming in Wisconsin
Recent experiences of Wisconsin dairy farmers with flooding and drought, among other climatic hazards, have resulted in substantial crop losses for a farming population that is already declining because of various economic circumstances. The salience of agroclimatic hazards and responses of dairy farmers to them may well determine long-term viability of family farm. Twothirds of farmers surveyed believed that climate is changing, and one-third pe…
