Abstract:

Interview conducted in April 1980 by Dale Treleven of the Historical Society staff with Isabel Baumann, a Dane County, Wis., farm organization activist, with information on her youth near Stoughton, teaching in a rural school near Sun Prairie in the 1920s, the evolution of a modern dairy farm in the 1920s and 1930s and women's work on a farm in that period, the Pierceville Mothers' Club, the Dane County and state Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, and a radio series called the We Say What We Think Club.
The final two tapes lack an abstract. They include Baumann's observations on women in the farm movement, her acquaintance with Mrs. Raymond Sayre of Iowa and Congresswoman Virginia Smith of Nebraska, daylight savings time, school consolidation, the growth of agri-business, and the histories of “The Clearing” and “The Ridges.”
