Cross Country: Expo a must-see for cheese experts

When people think of cheese, they think of Wisconsin: the dairy cows grazing on green grass next to a little red barn, a small family cheese factory where mom and dad turn out a few pounds of cheese a day, buying handmade cheese at a farmersâ?? market, a cheese maker cutting a wedge of cheese from a block of cheddar.

All true, but it doesnâ??t really portray Wisconsin or U.S. cheese making in 2010 as a walk through the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center on Wednesday and Thursday of this week would quickly show.
