A 2018 Portrait of the People Behind Carl F. Statz & Sons
The people in John Oncken's November 28, 2018 Wisconsin State Farmer gallery give the Carl F. Statz & Sons story a personal scale. The Waunakee photographs show family members and employees as well as machinery.
The people in John Oncken's November 28, 2018 Wisconsin State Farmer gallery give the Carl F. Statz & Sons story a personal scale. The Waunakee photographs show family members and employees as well as machinery.
A family portrait brings several Statz relatives into one frame. Ken Statz appears elsewhere in the series, and a workshop photograph records long-serving employee John Lomasney. Mike Miller is pictured with the truck used to haul equipment.
These are moments preserved from 2018, not a present-day staff directory. They offer an introduction to the people and everyday tasks behind a business whose Waunakee roots extend to 1930.
The original photographic record
The source gallery contains 13 photographs credited to John Oncken. This selection retains the November 28, 2018 source date and photographer credit. Any historical prices or equipment shown belong to that record.
