Brad Brogley recalls the hard work and family ties that were created on his family's Grant County Farm. Brad, along with his 4 siblings, grew up with strong agricultural roots and have found out more of the farm's history thanks to the work of their mother, Elaine. Not only did they learn more about their ancestors who entered the U.S. through Ellis Island, but they also learned that their great great grandfather was one of the only vets in Grant County back in his day. The Rodney S. & Thomas V. Brogley Farm in Platteville received its 150 year recognition at the Wisconsin State Fair this year. Brad shares more about how the farm got its start and where it is today.
