America's Dairyland: The undermining of 14,000 Wisconsin Dairy Farms

By T H. Harbinger

Herman Lenz immigrated from Germany in 1880 and started a dairy farm in central Wisconsin. He raised a family with four children on ten cows. His oldest son, Charles, took over the farm, doubled the herd, and, over 35 years, raised his family of three boys. His youngest, John, expanded the barn and tripled the herd while raising a family of eight boys. After 105 years, his son, Doug, number seven in the family, became the fourth-generation farmer. Within ten years, the Lenz Dairy Farm could no longer support a family. Between 1990 and 2006, Wisconsin lost 14,000 dairy farms. It's time they knew HOW this happened. It's time we understood WHY this happened.
