Through candid conversation, they’ll discuss such topics as their connection to the soil, how farming has evolved, the ways that technology has shaped their businesses and their vision for the agricultural future of America’s Dairyland. In addition to the panel, Perspectives will showcase a selection of artifacts and historic photographs from the Society collection, illustrating the transformation of farming and agricultural life in our state over time.
Whether you’re a farmer yourself, come from a farming family, appreciate the importance of farming to Wisconsin’s story or simply want to better understand the lives of those who grow, harvest and provide our food, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect and learn.
The panel will be held in the Wisconsin Historical Society headquarters auditorium. Advanced registration is recommended. Please review the “Know Before You Go” section for additional event and planning information.
