PRAIRIE FARMER'S HOME & COUNTY DIRECTORY - DANE COUNTY, WI - 1928

OTHER PRODUCTS
The area farmers often raised multiple products for their own use and for sale. Many of these breed are now very rare and there is an effort to preserve them. There was one Red Fox farm. The Ranum Honey Farm remained in production in the original location until recently but is still maintained by a family member in a nearby location. There are several farmers raising sheep for their wool for handspinners and we now have a woolen mill operating on refurbished machinery from the 1800's.
The list is sorted by breed, township, and last name.
To find a name, do a page search either with the "bar" icon at the top right of the page or use CTH + F.
