As
dairying became a primary industry in Wisconsin in the
1900s, dairy barns and silos appeared throughout much
of the state’s rural landscape and the dairy farmstead
became a romantic icon of the state. Wisconsin has a
diverse physical landscape including big cities, small
towns, farm fields and pastures, and northwoods forests;
yet in 1998 state officials selected a Wisconsin dairy
farm as the representative image for the official state
sesquicentennial stamp.
