The Dupont's from Delaware owned a farm near us here in MD. It's near th PA line too. I'm not sure if its still owned by them. It was back in the 1940's & 50's. They bought a lot of farms so they could fox hunt. They called their farm the Foxcatcher Farm. They raised hay and cattle. We had a heifer to get out and get in with their Angus bull. She had a nice black calf. The Duponts also raised a lot of fox hounds and horses used in fox hunting. We only milked 40 cows. One of the men that post on here was a herdsman for large milking operation in WI. Several years ago he and wife and brother stopped by here. They were milking 1200 cows 3 times a day. My late dad would've liked to seen that operation. They use 3 crews working 8 hours around the clock. Hal PS: The Duponts contribute a lot of money to the economy in DE and there's no sale tax. They made a lot of gun powder and dynamite plus they hire a lot of chemists. The Hercules Powder company is owned by them. They very seldom marry outside the family. A lot of the high schools were named after the Duponts.
