  abstract: Widely known as America's Dairyland, Wisconsin also has a long, fertile history with tobacco. For centuries, Indigenous tribes cultivated it for spiritual, medicinal, and ceremonial purposes. First introduced commercially in Dane and Rock Counties, and later Vernon County, the crop earned a reputation among generations of local farmers as the "mortgage lifter." Specializing in the broadleaf tobacco used to bind cigars, local farms became major producers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries--a lifeline for newly arrived Norwegian immigrants. Ultimately, the state's golden age of tobacco spawned the creation of the country's first cooperative tobacco marketing association.
