Wisconsin's heritage will be on display with dairy farm tours, a June Dairy Breakfast, and a Friday night fish fry. Stephanie Hoff gives us the inside look.
A little fog this morning but otherwise a pleasant Thursday according to Stu Muck. More sun and warmer temperatures are coming this weekend.
School is about to conclude for the summer break statewide, but some of the programs that happen in those classrooms are a valuable part of the communities they live in. Charitee Seebecker talks with Christine Fossen-Rades, teacher at Menominee Indian School District. What started with students making tea has quietly grown into a much larger movement, one driven by a simple question and a strong desire to be more self-reliant. These students are taking the lead, planting the seeds—literally and figuratively—for a project that ties together culture, community, and sustainability. Rades shares more about how the project came together and what it means for the school and community.
The bugs have returned to Wisconsin farm fields. A new website developed by UW-Extension researchers shows that armyworm and cutworm are infesting fields at a pretty high rate. Jordan Kampa, interim manager of the state's pesticide applicators program, says if you're treating those insects - be careful.
U.S. dairy has gone from the doldrums to comfortable margins in a short period of time. Ryan Yonkman, vice president and co-founder of EverAg joins Pam Jahnke to discuss. Yonkman says while tariffs are still a discussion in the marketplace, dairy keeps making sales. Butter has had a particularly robust international play, which is unusual.
