"The Hollywood Dairy was owned by Joe Bucher and his family. Purchased in 1929, the 750 acre dairy provided milk for over 40 years to the Dodson and surrounding communities. At it's peak, the dairy had a herd of 70-80 cows and produced 1200 quarts of milk a day. The large barn was a landmark in the Dodson area. Built in the early 1900's, the barn stood for about 100 years. Sadly, the barn came down in 2010 and is gone."
