Teri Barr catches up with Keith Poulsen at World Dairy Expo to learn -- though the finding is unusual in cattle -- why there is little reason for Wisconsin farmers or consumers to be alarmed.

Scooping A Sweet Mission At World Dairy Expo

The Brian and Teri Stibb family farm -- near Princeton in Green Lake County -- has been part of the local agricultural community for more than 130 years.

In 1893, the family purchased 60 acres of land. Early generations raised dairy cattle, pigs and poultry, while also growing crops such as rye, oats, corn and navy beans.

Over the years, the farm became a hub of activity for the Princeton area. Brian Stibb’s grandfather was known as a jack of all trades, doing everything from threshing and corn shredding to baling and combining for neighbors. The family also grew cucumbers, watermelons and muskmelons, selling produce at farm auctions.

Today, Brian and his wife are carrying that history forward. Their son is the fifth generation and has taken over the crop operation while continuing to work with antique tractors and farm equipment. The family is active in tractor pulling.

They tell Pam Jahnke how the farm remains a story of German roots, changing technology, community agriculture, and five generations working to keep a Wisconsin farm tradition alive.
