The Roger Kittleson family are being recognized as a Sesquicentennial farm and he shares the story of his Dane County farm. The first Kittleson generation purchased the property in 1866 and were dairy farmers. Today, the farmstead is a beef operation with the fifth generation of the family running it. Roger was in a farming accident in 2020 where he was told he would be a quadriplegic. He has made huge progress in his recovery as he has nearly one hundred percent use of his hands back and is excited to continue to help the future generations of the Kittleson family take up farming.

Wisconsin Century & Sesquicentennial Farm Salute

Roger Kittleson - Dane County - 150 Years

The Century Farm Awards Program began in 1948 in conjunction with the State of Wisconsin’s Centennial Celebration. There are currently over 10,000 Century Farms nestled throughout the Badger State. Most recently, Don Veidel’s family of Burnett County has been added to the list. Don brought his uncle, second-generation on the Centennial Farm, Carroll Veidel to the celebratory breakfast marking the milestone. The farm, located in Siren, remains a gathering place for the close-knit Veidel family, where traditions like apple pie making, deer hunting, and Thanksgiving keep both the land and family ties strong. Nephew Don predicts the future of the farm while Uncle Carroll connects us to the farm’s origin, which started with his father.

As the farm prepares to transition to Jody, the youngest daughter, the Herrmanns reflect not only on the changes their family farm has weathered, but also on the evolution of Wisconsin’s farming industry as a whole.
