OBJECTIVE



 

WI & Cheese.

My intent for this entire website was...

 

>  Identifying the cheese regions of WI

>  Identify a trend in the number of cheese

    factories vs. cheese production

>  Maps for 1880, 1896, 1926, and present day 

    of Wisconsin mapping out number of

    cheese factories per county

>  Diagnosing the current state of the

    cheese industry and cheese factory

    population in Wisconsin

 

WHAT MY RESEARCH INCLUDES

... to be able to educate the public on the cheese factories in Wisconsin, the history associated with them, and the current state of these factories in this state. Since cheese making has existed in Wisconsin since the moment the first immigrants called this region their new home, it is engraved in the cultural geography of the region. Because of this culture, it would make sense for the public to educate themselves on why this is the current culture, and familiarize themselves with the past and current conditions of the cheese industry in “The Dairy State”.

The past and present state of the relationship
