Over the past few years, the city of Madison has been partnering with Wisconsin soybean farmers and other agriculture groups to move its truck fleet toward 100 percent biodiesel. Biodiesel is a fuel made from soybeans, and it's helping the city cut emissions. Fleet Superintendent Mahanth Joishy tells Mid-West Farm Report about the progress. Joishy is also looking forward to claiming the first wood chipper to run on B100.

B100 Working Year-Round In Madison

This week was historic for Plover, Wisconsin. On Thursday, for the first time ever, a sitting Vice President made the trip to the village in central Wisconsin. Stephanie Hoff was there in the press pool as JD Vance toured a local manufacturing facility. While the speech was meant to rally voters for the upcoming Congressional and Wisconsin gubernatorial races, the rhetoric hit on familiar national notes – ones we heard during the President’s State of the Union address, like tax-free tips, drug pricing, and falling crime rates. But when the floor opened for questions, media outlets wanted to discuss rural infrastructure topics like health care, agriculture, and data centers. Stephanie asked the VPOTUS if this administration is prioritizing the trade deals Wisconsin farmers need.

Shelly Mayer is the executive director of the organization. She tells me that they consider what is presently happening in the industry when planning the conference.
