Volume Two 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 installment. 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.

“Jackie Jackson throws open the Round Barn doors at the Dougan family farm to tell us an American story. She gives us a rich history of farm life at the mercy of the forces of science and the market but grounded in rock-solid Wisconsin values.”—U.S. Senator Dick Durbin
