>There is no more quintessential image of Wisconsin than a red barn with a herd of cows grazing in a green field against a blue sky.
This traditional farm cannot compete with modern operations of 30,000 cows or more. It's too bad, because dairying fit in well on farms with land that was not good for plowing and cropping. Marshy or sandy land was used for pasture and hay meadows. Now you rarely see small herds of cows in pastures along the highway. Marshes are either drained or left unused.
