Alzheimer's Strikes Regardless Of Location And Nonfat Continues To Slip - Zach Bowers

View descriptionShare
 

Fair season in Wisconsin brings with it a few changes for livestock exhibitors.  Jill Welke chats with Dr. Meg Mueller about her engagement in the dialog.  Also, while New World Screw Worm may not make it to the state, Dr. Mueller says it could still deal a financial blow to local producers.  Her priorities include sourcing animals from outside the state and making pet owners who might adopt aware of the risks.

Wow - severe weather on Wednesday is causing clean-up on Thursday.  Stu Muck explains some of the areas of impact, and what's on the radar already this morning.  He thinks it's going to be another 'alert day' with severe weather and high winds.

Alzheimer's is a disease that does not discriminate.  It doesn't matter where you live, or what your financial situation is.  It's also random.  Dr. Bill Stork, a retired veterinarian in Lake Mills, watched his mother slip away from Alzheimer's.  Sunday, he's spearheading "Minds over Mountains" MOMs, in honor of his mother.  The event in Lake Mills helps connect people with others handling the disease, researchers investigating it, and fund raising mechanisms to help further research.  Stork says he's encouraged by the research progress he's seen in just the past few years.  He also reminds people that they can control some of their outcome by thinking about their health today.  Pam Jahnke visited with him.

All eyes are on nonfat products in the marketplace.  Zach Bowers, dairy analyst with EverAg, joins Pam Jahnke to discuss.  That non-fat complex has drawn Wisconsin's Class III prices higher, and is likely moving lower now.  Bowers says demand for U.S. dairy remains robust - especially cheese.  Keeping an eye on what type of dairy product catches the globes attention will be what drives us next.
