MILWAUKEE — Miller and Wisconsin have a history, but so does American Family Insurance.
American Family Insurance, once called Farmers Mutual Insurance, was founded in Madison in 1927. For 92 years, this company, which reportedly will get the naming rights to the Milwaukee Brewers' stadium in 2020, has continued to expand its deep roots in Wisconsin.
