This isn t the way I wanted it to end : Dairy farm shuts down after 148 years Rick Barrett, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
ELEVA - One at a time for six days, the 27 livestock trailers pulled up to the barn at Adams Dairy Farm, as if part of an extended funeral receiving line.
They came from other parts of Wisconsin, and Iowa and New York, picking up youngstock first, then their share of 600 cattle.
When the last rig eased over to State Highway 93 on Tuesday, dairy farming ceased on this expanse of Trempealeau County land that s been in Paul Adams family since shortly after the Civil War.
