This is a Vintage Antique Freeborn County Creamery Co Uncirculated Postcard. During the earliest days of agriculture in Freeborn County, the major crop was wheat, not corn or soybeans. In fact, the famous Cargill grain firm got its real start in Albert Lea during the first part of the 1870s. However, a decline in wheat prices starting in 1878 resulted in many farmers diversifying to dairying with small herds of cows. Most of the milk was consumed by farm families. Butter was created by a tedious process based on hand-operated churns. By 1911 there were 28 dairies in the Albert Lea area of Minnesota. Advertising
