Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 17:51, 31 March 2021 (UTC)


### Basic stuff and comments
Images are free to use.
"ageing" → "aging" (American English)
"later half" → "latter half" (both uses)
Remove the comma after "the farms".
Remove the comma after "the railroad" (unnecessary).
Remove the comma after "switched to dairy farming" (near the end of sentence).
"to higher" → "to a higher"
"products has" → "products have"
Remove the comma after "2000".

Archive sources (either manually or with this tool).
Also, don't try to have website links (ex. "www." and ".org") present in the "|website=" parameter (find the actual name of the source instead).
@Some Dude From North Carolina:, I fixed what you recommended. JackFromReedsburg (talk | contribs) 20:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)


### Progress
A list of newspaper sources that could be added to the article:

Quality Milk Important to Farm Market
American dairymen will not be forced to compete with European dairy
Fewer Herds (of cows), Larger Size (of herds)
Farmers' Choice: Borrow or Own Smaller Shares
Farms in Wringer

America's Dairyland at the Crossroads (Milwaukee PBS) Maybe useful? The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel did a write-up but they also helped produce it so that's probably not a pure secondary source. Mapsax (talk) 00:08, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

This article could use improvement in a few areas:

Expanded products section, including talking about Ice Cream, Milk, etc
Economic impacts section
Expansion of the farming section and include Wisconsin dairy barn.
Rewrite of the history section in conjunction with Agriculture in Wisconsin
I've been meaning to really work on this article more since taking it to GA 4 years ago. I think it could be much better than it currently is and could possibly be a featured article. If anyone else is interested, feel free to use these points to work on it. Otherwise I'll get around to it eventually. JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 22:34, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
