Seven area farms honored with century and sesquicentennial status

If you think running a farm is hard, imagine doing it for 100 years or more. As a part of its festivities earlier this month, the Wisconsin State Fair honored dozens of farms throughout the state as a part of its Century and Sesquicentennial Farms program. More than 10,000 farms have been honored through the program, recognizing operations running for 100 and 150 years under continuous family ownership. Constance and Henry Judd of Fish Creek, Constance R Judd of Egg Harbor, Maria and Corey Dorner of Luxemburg, and Jodi and Gene Seidl of Luxemburg were honored as Century Farm honorees. Myron D. Johnson of Algoma, Joyce E. Schranz of Sturgeon Bay, and John G. Stodola of Luxemburg were designated as Sesquicentennial Farms award recipients. According to the UW Extension office, Century Farms have been recognized since 1948, and Sesquicentennial Farms have been designated since 1998.
