Preble (Brown County, Wis.: Town). Records, 1853-1965

Scope and Content Note

Several Grade A milk plants, but most farmers resisted “having those inspectors come around from Chicago and smell your farm out.” Honey Creek converted to Grade A in early 1950s; truckers first picked up in cans; bulk handling began and that proved to be “the riot.” Haulers needed to modernize; farmers had to be reindoctrinated that bulk cooling made it possible to mix morning and evening milk.
