Wisconsin | Had to be a school within walking distance, the barn had to be filled with enough loose hay to feed the dairy cows and horses through the winter, and you can't haul loose hay very far efficiently, and you had to have enough milkers to milk the cows twice a day. So there were hundreds of thousands of dairy farms in WI.
Ron, don't you have lots of abandoned homesteads in CO also? maybe more in Eastern CO? The difference is WI was profitable for dairy farming for a few decades longer than the wheat boom on the high plains, so there are thousands more standing dairy barns and silos, and fence rows full of scrap machinery. | |
