Today, it's a larger dairy operation with 250 cows. David Zimdars and his family  value the farm's history, their time spent working together, and the memories they've created, hoping to keep the legacy alive for future generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Philip Schroeder's family farm in Sauk County has a rich history dating back to the 1800s, with the original deed tied to the War of 1812. Purchased by his family in 1874, the farm has seen its share of challenges, including a legal battle over a 40-acre parcel in 1923. Throughout the years, the farm has remained a staple of dairy production, with Philip continuing the tradition until his retirement in 2008. Today, the property remains largely unchanged, with the same historic buildings and a focus on preserving the legacy his family has worked hard to maintain for generations. The farm's sesquicentennial celebration honors both its history and its enduring place in the community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mayer family's sesquicentennial farm in Washington County, Wisconsin, has a rich history that dates back to 1853 when it was homesteaded by the family. Originally a 50-acre wheat farm, the property transitioned into a dairy farm around the turn of the century. Over the years, the farm has been passed down through generations, and today, it serves not only as a thriving agricultural operation but also as a popular event venue. The barn, a centerpiece of the property, has been meticulously restored with the help of Amish craftsmen to preserve its heritage, while the farm hosts agri-tourism activities and community events. The farm remains a cherished part of the family, and they are proud to honor their 150-year legacy while looking forward to its future for generations to come.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here at the Mid-West Farm Report, we're celebrating farm and homesteads that have been in the same family for more than 100 and 150 years. And we're bringing these stories to you courtesy of Compeer Financial. Today we're catching up with Kevin Sprang, the fourth generation of Sprang Farms in Two Rivers. This Sesquicentennial Farm grows row crops and Christmas trees. But it didn't start out that way.

Some things haven't changed over the years -- kids still play tag and hide-and-seek.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Centennial bash in 1959 was a huge event; state had been gearing up for three years. By contrast, 2009's Sesquicentennial was a mild, understated affair. By the way, this will be the last time this very-old article (first published in February 2009) is published — it has been re-written and thoroughly updated, and the new one is scheduled to appear in this podcast feed on Nov. 15.

Rick Zemlicka's family sesquicentennial farm in Iowa County, has been a cornerstone of his heritage since his great-great-grandfather purchased the original 80 acres in 1874. Arriving from Bohemia with his parents in 1860, his ancestor expanded the farm to 320 acres over the years. The original farmstead included basic buildings and facilities for a modest mixed operation with cows, pigs, chickens, and a large garden. Despite facing significant challenges, including the tragic loss of his great-great-grandfather's oldest son in 1895 and hardships during the Great Depression, the farm has persevered. Rick's great-grandfather rebuilt the barn and house in the early 1920s, and these structures still stand today. Rick reflects fondly on childhood memories, such as playing near his father's plowing and enjoying time with cousins in the creeks. The farm remains a vital part of his life, and he hopes it will continue to be passed down to future generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ron Patten is the fourth generation on his family's Sesquicentennial Farm that is 152 years old this year. He says since the beginning, when his ancestors cleared the land and built a home, the farm had been a team effort. Even in close quarters, family members have been pitching in since the beginning to continue the farming tradition in Boyd, located in Chippewa County. Today, the family has decided to rename the farm from Patten Farms to Patten Family Farms as they care for many cash crop acres and a beef herd. His son is continuing the farm, and thinks the sixth generation will pick it up, as well. Ron enjoys seeing his little granddaughter soak up the farm life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Wisconsin family farm can be a time capsule, especially when the same family has been farming the land for more than 150 years. Bob and Lucille Accola in Buffalo County take pride in showcasing how farming was done in the early days. Lucille is the third generation on her family's Sesquicentennial farm. She and her husband tell us the farm story, beginning with her grandfather's move to the United States from Prussia. The land he decided to settle the family on was in need of clearing. Dynamite was the way to do it. Unfortunately, in his 70s, Lucille's grandfather accidentally blew himself up. Today, Lucille and Bob welcome people to the farm to see a slice of history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael Ruff's farm in Chippewa County has a rich history that dates back to 1850 when his great-great-great-grandfather immigrated from Germany to Milwaukee with his family of seven. Two of their children served in the Civil War, and in 1866, the family moved to Chippewa County, where they engaged in logging and farming before purchasing the farm in 1874. Michael, the fifth generation, still lives on the original farmstead, which began with a small house and barn. Over the years, the farmstead evolved, with new houses built in the early 1900s and 1948. Michael, now focused on cash cropping corn and soybeans, maintains the historic dairy barn, grain bins, machine storage, and a shop. He also creates corn mazes to keep the farm vibrant for future generations. With two sons and five grandchildren, Michael's fondest memories are of the large family gatherings on the farm where he grew up as one of nine children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pine Lawn Farms, nestled along the Manitowoc River in Cato, has a rich history dating back to 1874 when Halverson Pederson, a Norwegian immigrant who worked on the railroads, purchased the farm. Halverson's son Clarence later took over, building a two-story farmhouse, parts of which include the original log house and barn. Clarence expanded the farm, adding a bull pen and calf pen, and raised 25 Guernseys. In the 1960s, Dan Pederson's father sold part of the land to the county, transforming it into what is now Lower Cato Falls County Park, while retaining 60 acres. Today, Pine Lawn Farms spans 110 acres, and though the family no longer raises cattle, the land is rented out and managed as an LLC by Dan and his two brothers, maintaining the legacy of their forebears.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 As we all know, agriculture has its ups and downs. Maybe the cows got out, the markets went down, or maybe like this year, you've got just enough rain on your farm that you think it's time to open up your own waterpark! Whatever the case may be, family is always there for you. Steven and Rogene Wegner up in Shawano County describe to us a little bit more about their Sesquicentennial farm. They teach us that if you've got family with you, you can get work done and have some fun at the same time. They've had over 150 years of experience.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeff Decker shares the story of his family farm in Ozaukee County. They are the oldest farm to be recognized this year at the WI State Fair and have been in the same family for 177 years. The original farm house was built in 1847 and is still on the property today where Jeff lives.  He noted that with a railroad track running through the property, they would have people come to the farm to work for a meal while growing up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since the Village of Hamburgh (correct spelling) was incorporated in 1874 by then-president George M. Pierce, history has evolved through its people, architecture, infrastructure and technology. In 2024 Jason sits down with current Mayor Thomas P. Tallman as they talk about the Sesquicentennial celebration, business and, of course, the chronology of the village. This episode serves as a part one of two as a day-long visit will be featured in a future time.

Visiting with families that have farmed the same land for several generations is like taking a step into our state's history. Jonathan Schaaf in Iowa County is the fourth generation on his family's Sesquicentennial Farm. He says his great-grandfather bought the land with the intention to mine it. He says lead mines were common in Southwest Wisconsin, which is how Wisconsin became the Badger State. His great-grandfather processed the lead on the farm, which left its mark on areas of the property that you can still see today. This conversation is part of our Century and Sesquicentennial Farm series brought to you courtesy of Compeer Financial. Honorees will be getting together for a celebratory breakfast at the Wisconsin State Fair in August. Pictured: John Schaaf (b. 1844)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're recognizing Wisconsin farm and homesteads that have been in the same family for more than 100 or 150 years. Today we head to Juneau County, just south of Mauston, to visit with Lee Schnell, the fourth generation on his family's Sesquicentennial Farm. Lee reflects on a time of living that looks very different from today -- he grew up without credit cards or in-home showers. He even recalls the transition from milking cows by hand to installing a pipeline system. Lee says he's proud to be receiving a Sesquicentennial award at the Wisconsin State Fair. He remembers a promise he made to his grandfather that he would continue on the farming tradition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keeping a farm or homestead in the family for more than 100 or 150 years is truly a great accomplishment and that's something that the Wisconsin State Fair wants to recognize through their Century and Sesquicentennial Farm and Home Award. To qualify for the award, families are required to provide proof of continuous family ownership of a property in the state of Wisconsin for either the last 100 or 150 years. All property owners will be honored at a special Century and Sesquicentennial Farm and Home Award Program held on Tuesday, Aug. 6 in conjunction with the 2024 Wisconsin State Fair which takes place Thursday, Aug. 1 – Sunday, Aug. 11 at Wisconsin State Fair Park in West Allis. "We encourage everyone to make a copy of their application for family records," says Albanese.

Applications for the Century and Sesquicentennial Farm and Home Award are available now and must be postmarked by the application deadline Friday, March 1, 2024.

Deanna Opsal shares the story of her family's century and sesquicentennial farm in Dane County. Deanna's father and mother-in-law moved to the farm in 1949. At the time it was being run by a cousin named Forest. Forest had a dream of establishing a registered Holstein herd and wanted to improve the farm as it was getting rundown. Deanna's father in-law became the matriarch of the farm and helped work with the cows to develop the farm into what it is today. Once Deanna and her husband became involved with the farm, genetics became a key focus. They progressed with the times through building improvements and better cattle. Deanna's son Troy took a keen interest in the cows and continued to build their herd's success. His son Joey now helps with the genetics and has also begun adding Brown Swiss to the herd. Deanna says the family has “developed a pride of where they've been and where they hope to go” with the farm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bobbi Pruski  tells the story of her family's sesquicentennial farm in Dodge County.  In 1873, the original farmstead was purchased. They raised dairy cattle, hogs, and chickens. Over the years the farm was passed down from father to son for many generations. The original barn is still on the farmstead today where Tony Schumacher now runs the operation. He milks about 50 cows in a stanchion barn and has begun bridging out to offer custom field work. One highlight of the farm ws being able to host the Dodge County dairy breakfast in 2016. This recognition means a lot to Bobbi and her siblings as their dad passed away from cancer and their mom passed away a few years ago as well. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mid-West Farm Report is honoring family farm and homesteads that have been a part of Wisconsin's landscape for more than 100 or 150 years. These stories are brought to you courtesy of Compeer Financial. One of the families celebrating a Sesquicentennial Award from the state of Wisconsin belongs to Charles Larsen. His Brown County farm has a long history of tradition, both in farming and serving this country. He hopes the sixth generation continues the legacy, but says it's best not to push the next generation into the business. Today the farm near Denmark, Wisconsin is a cash cropping operation that utilizes no-till and cover crops, and makes hay for area farmers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rosie is the fifth generation on her family's Sesquicentennial Farm called The Delbert Lynch Family Farm Trust. The 267-acre farm is three miles south of Browntown in Green County.

The Meyer family has actually traced their origins back to 1866 as they celebrate their sesquicentennial milestone.  Love letters written between Don Meyer's great grandfather and great grandmother help paint the story that continues today.  After a few years working in Madison, the two finally got married in 1868.  Finally they purchased their first 75 acres in 1870.  Don Meyer said they've pieced together that the early farm was pretty diverse with livestock, chickens and even hops!  In 1896 the couple bought 20 more acres of woodland from the neighbors for $300, and continued expanding from that time forward. Today the Meyer farm is continuing and looking forward to sharing responsibilities and history with the next generation.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dale Plansky tells the story of his family's farm in Kewaunee County. They will be receiving the Century and Sesquicentennial awards this year.

Today Dale is in the process of transferring the 124 acres to his children with hopes that they will utilize the barn again for horses. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert Girardi on “Union Prisoners of War at Camp Douglas” For More info: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.ORG Douglas, located on the south side of Chicago, was Illinois' largest Civil War training camp. More than 40,000 volunteers mustered here. In February 1862, the camp was converted to accommodate Confederate Prisoners of war. About 24,000 Confederates were held there during the war, of which 6,000 died. Their story is well-told. Yet lesser known is the story of the thousands of Union POWs who were held in the camp while awaiting exchange. After the surrender of Harpers Ferry in September 1862, the captured Union soldiers were interred in parole camps. More than 8,000 of these were sent to Camp Douglas. These soldiers occupied barracks recently vacated by Confederate prisoners and were subjected to the same poor sanitary conditions and privations. Their uncertain future and lack of understanding 2 of their status led to a breakdown in discipline. This is an account of their troublesome experiences in Chicago. Robert I. Girardi has a Masters Degree in Public History from Loyola University. He is a lifelong student of the American Civil War and has studied all aspects of the conflict. He is a past president of the Chicago CWRT and is the author or editor of nine books, and numerous articles and book reviews. He was a board member of the Illinois State Historical Society and was guest editor for the 2011-2014 Sesquicentennial of the Civil War issues of the Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society. His most recent article, "Reconsidering Major General Gouverneur K. Warren," appeared in the July 2020 issue of North and South Magazine. He is currently working on a military biography of Warren.

On July 22, 1997, a pioneer trek reenactment honoring early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reached This Is the Place Heritage Park. President M. Russell Ballard, now Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, was there watching as hand carts and wagons entered the valley 150 years after the first pioneers arrived. At the time, President Ballard was serving as chairman of the Church's Sesquicentennial Committee. He emphasized that the sesquicentennial was about more than wagon trains; it was an opportunity to tell the world the story of the restoration. That opportunity continues 25 years later, as the Church marks the 175th anniversary of the pioneers entering the valley. It was a journey then that required “faith in every footstep,” just as living the gospel requires “faith in every footstep” now. President Ballard joins this episode of the Church News podcast to talk about pioneering today. He is joined by guest host Sister Sheri Dew, executive vice president of Deseret Management Corp. and a former member of the Relief Society general presidency.  The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe.
