Editor credited with major role in Wisconsin dairy promotion
On the Madison agricultural campus a bust honors William Dempster Hoard, Wisconsin governor 1889 to 1891, and the man who shaped dairy advocacy. In Fort Atkinson around 1870 an editor warned soil was drained by wheat, urging cattle raising and dairying as Wisconsin’s path to prosperity. He created Heard's Dairyman and toured to spread the message, persuading German and Scandinavian farmers to shift away from wheat. This shift cut wheat output as dairy grew.
