Why We Chose It

Few industries have been lost as much ground as the dairy industry since its high point in North Dakota. Today, it seems unlikely we produce even enough butter to feed ourselves -- this in spite of the bountiful table that nature sets annually on the prairie for our bovine inclined. For the math-inclined, those 51,000,000 pounds of butter would have served each of us almost 1.5 lbs. per week. No wonder we were so healthy!
