Peggy and Mickey James tell the story of their family's century farm in Iowa County. The farm was acquired in 1915 when Mickey's great grandpa rented the farm before he bought the first 40 acres in 1920. He then added another 120 acres in 1926. They were known for having Milking Shorthorns that people would come from all over to buy for showing. Today they are working on updating the farmstead, rent out the cropland to their family, and raise beef cattle.
