Wisconsin Century & Sesquicentennial Farm Salute

Richard Ladwig - Oconto County Centennial Farm

Today we’re visiting with Raymond Lamboley. He’s the third generation on his family’s Sesquicentennial Farm recognized by the state of Wisconsin. The Lamboley family farm is located outside of Belleville in Dane County. He tells us how times have changed in the 150 years his family has been on the land, including when they got electricity, indoor plumbing, and machinery. Some things haven't changed over the years -- kids still play tag and hide-and-seek.

Here at the Mid-West Farm Report, we’re celebrating farm and homesteads that have been in the same family for more than 100 and 150 years. And we’re bringing these stories to you courtesy of Compeer Financial. Today we’re catching up with Kevin Sprang, the fourth generation of Sprang Farms in Two Rivers. This Sesquicentennial Farm grows row crops and Christmas trees. But it didn’t start out that way. Kevin tells me how his family got to Manitowoc County.

Sprang Farms - Manitowoc County Sesquicentennial Farm

Robert Sandman's family century farm in Bangor, La Crosse County, has a rich history that dates back to his grandfather's arrival from Germany in 1882. His grandfather purchased the land in 1921 and 1924, establishing a farm that initially raised a mix of animals, including pigs, chickens, and cows. Robert's father passed away suddenly in 1978, leaving the farm to him. Over the years, the farm evolved from a dairy operation to a cash crop farm. Despite the challenges, including the loss of his mother in 2017, Robert takes pride in the legacy of his family's hard work and dedication to farming. He reflects fondly on memories of growing up on the farm, fishing by the creek and working the land. As the third generation, Robert feels a deep connection to his family's history and is honored to continue their legacy, even as the farm's future remains uncertain.
