We are sharing family farm stories from across Wisconsin that are celebrating 100 or 150 years of farming on the same land. These farms are recognized during the Wisconsin State Fair. One family is coming from Price County. For Joe Van De Voort’s family farm, the cows left in the 1980s, but he brought them back in the 2000s. Joe is the fourth generation on the 80-acre Centennial farm. And in order to continue the farm’s legacy as a dairy farm, he’s starting to think about adding milk processing or a retail store to the operation for the fifth generation. He tells us about his plans for the farm’s future. But first he goes back in time to how his family acquired the farm 1899.
