Overview

Based on extensive primary materials from the Dougan Dairy of Beloit, Wisconsin, The Round Barn tells an authentic, sometimes gritty, often humorous story of a “life as well as a living”. Making use of extensive oral histories, documents, letters, diaries, photographs, and creative non-fiction, Jacqueline Dougan Jackson faithfully re-creates the story of her family’s farm in a chronicle that spans over seven decades. Volume 2 of The Round Barn warmly and extensively narrates the history of the Dougan family farm and continues where the dairy tour ended in the first instalment. The book broadens its focus to general farming, as author Jacqueline Dougan Jackson describes the start and development of hybrid seed corn and artificial breeding on her family’s farm.
