Dairy progress : creameries, condenseries and cheese factories in Wisconsin, January 1918, and value of products
Map
Beginning in the 1880s, the State and the University of Wisconsin began to promote farmer education and scientific dairying. The Wisconsin Dairy and Food Commission, which inspected dairy plants and dairy products, was the first in the nation. This 1918 map shows the tremendous growth of the dairy industry in Wisconsin since then, with locations of creameries, condenseries and cheese factories and statistics about the value of butter, cream, cheese, and milk for condenseries. Five smaller maps in the right margin show changes in production and in number of factories between 1909 and 1918.
