David Johnson's family has deep roots in Lincoln County, Wisconsin, with a farm dating back to 1919. His grandfather, originally from Sweden, worked his way across the world before settling in Merrill, where he purchased the farm and began farming with his wife and four daughters. Over the years, the farm weathered the hardships of the Great Depression, a devastating tornado, and the challenges of raising a family. Today, the farm is a sanctuary for wildlife, with the original homestead modernized and maintained as a personal retreat. For David, receiving the Century Farm award is a proud moment, honoring a legacy that has endured for over 100 years.
