Wesley and Jill Milner share the microphone to tell the story of the family's Sesquicentennial farm in Rock County. The first Milner generation purchased 100 acres in 1866 and an additional 77 acres in 1868. The land was farmed with horses until Wesley’s dad decided to purchase a tractor. However, his grandpa still farmed half of the acreage with horses while his dad used the equipment. Now of the original 177 acres, 57 remain with some being rented out for cash cropping and Wesley and Jill are working on upkeep for the future with the rest.
