About this title

Synopsis

Based on extensive primary materials from the Dougan Dairy of Beloit, Wisconsin, The Round Barn tells an authentic, sometimes gritty, often humorous story of a “life as well as a living.” Making use of extensive oral histories, documents, letters, diaries, photographs, and creative nonfiction, Jacqueline Dougan Jackson faithfully re-creates the story of her family’s farm in a chronicle that spans over seven decades.
            Volume One focuses on the farm’s milk business―from tending the cows to processing the milk to milk delivery―and it illustrates the partnership between the Dougan Dairy and the University of Wisconsin’s College of Agriculture in all its groundbreaking scientific influence.
