Hoophouse is your 2019 Market Farm Madness champion! They withstood high winds, late snow storms and controversy over cost share payments to win the tournament. They denied the Excel-lent Spreadsheets, the 2017 champion, in their semifinal and then defeated the Cinderella story of this year’s competition, 11th seed Walk-in Cooler, 54% to 46% in the final. Their victory helps mend their 2017 semifinal loss when Harvest Knife punctured their plans and left them deflated.

Here is a link to the bracket with the winners of each round.
