Little Oxmound Farms LLC has changed from the beginning with first using milk cans and buckets transporting dairy milk by horses. Then, the family went to a pipeline. The farm has changed, but the memories will last. Debbie Jones Little, Diane Barganz (sister), and Darlene Borud (sister) were know as the "Jones Girls!" Although they don’t have any cows anymore, they have many memories in the barn "swinging around."

Today they are still crop farming and enjoy still being involved in their family’s legacy.

UW-Badger standout and NFL Hall of Famer, Joe Thomas, has turned farmer in southwest Wisconsin.  Stephanie Hoff finds out what lured the offensive lineman to transition from field battles on turf, to field battles on pasture.  Thomas is using his halloffamebeef.com product to elevate awareness and raise funds for Blood Cancer United and the "Big Climb" event at Camp Randall May 16th.

Sunshine returns to Wisconsin today along with warmer temps.  Stu Muck also reminds us to take a look at the full moon this morning if you're up in time.

Market prices on good used equipment remain robust according to Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group.  He tells Pam Jahnke that they're finalizing preparation for their spring catalog and it's full!  Paid for by Steffes Group.

"B" Teamers are busy at World Champion Cheese.  The event kicked off yesterday at the Monona Terrace Convention Center, and it required many hands to make light work.  One of those "B" team volunteers is Jeremy Houston.  He explains all the daily duties that they must get done to keep judges moving and wheels, literally, turning at the event.

Kiley Allan got her first taste of the World Cheese event Wednesday speaking with judging veteran, Pam Hodgson.  Hodgson is one of 2 female Master Cheesemakers in the world, with her work home at Sartori.  Hodgson explains why she enjoys being part of the cheesemaking industry.  She says it may seem like an individual endeavor, but in reality it's a team approach that wins.
