Patten Family Farms - Chippewa County Sesquicentennial Farm

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

Ron Patten is the fourth generation on his family's Sesquicentennial Farm that is 152 years old this year. He says since the beginning, when his ancestors cleared the land and built a home, the farm had been a team effort. Even in close quarters, family members have been pitching in since the beginning to continue the farming tradition in Boyd, located in Chippewa County. Today, the family has decided to rename the farm from Patten Farms to Patten Family Farms as they care for many cash crop acres and a beef herd. His son is continuing the farm, and thinks the sixth generation will pick it up, as well. Ron enjoys seeing his little granddaughter soak up the farm life.
