Ag Day At The Capitol--Farm Bureau To Focus On Roads

Stephanie Hoff sits down with Alison Pfau, a bilingual regional dairy educator, and Trisha Wagner, Farm Management Program manager, to explore the launch of the Forward Farm Safety Toolbox. This is a research-based initiative designed to help farmers lead their own interactive safety discussions. The program moves away from traditional classroom lectures toward practical, bilingual modules that address unique on-farm hazards. These tools not only improve workplace safety but also serve as a vital strategy for increasing employee engagement and retention: https://farms.extension.wisc.edu/forward-farm-safety-toolbox/

Extension Unveils A New Tool

Wisconsin dairy farmer and DFW Board Member Annaliese Wegner shares how everyday farm management translates into impactful industry leadership.

Whether milking 30 cows or 3,000, Annaliese encourages all producers to lend their perspective to ensure a strong future for the next generation.

From The Parlor To The Boardroom -- Dairy Farmers Are Leaders

Beef is back in the center of the plate thanks to the new Dietary Guidelines that influence all food programs funded by the government, explains J. Garrett Edmonds, senior director of government affairs with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. But how can beef producers keep that momentum going? Edmonds talks to Bob Bosold. 

A beautiful day on the horizon with near-record highs. But what goes up must come down, forecasts Stu Muck in the Compeer Financial Ag Weather Update. 

You can see that wild birds are on the move, which brings risks to poultry producers. We’ve seen, just ahead of the weekend, more highly pathogenic avian influenza cases on poultry farms in Jefferson and Walworth Counties, bringing the 2026 case count to four. Migratory Bird Management has a humane method to keep wild birds away from livestock, trading a scarecrow for a light show.

Wisconsin’s Farm Service Agency Executive Director Sandy Chalmers tells Ben Jarboe how farmers can sign up for the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program to recover losses caused by trade retaliation and inflation.

Congratulations to the 79th Alice in Dairyland top candidates: Faith Baerwolf, Kelly Herness, Gabrielle Huitema, Jessica Moor, Anastasia Poull, and Michelle Stangler. Pam Jahnke was there for the announcement.

Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board member Sandy Madland from Lyndel Dairy, LLC in Lyndon Station, is focused on encouraging other dairy operators to step up and join the board in the next round of elections.
