Ben Herzinger from Beautiful Harvest in Warrens on their new cold-pressed cranberry juice

With Wisconsin's first fall case of HPAI confirmed at a turkey farm near Rice Lake, Dr. Keith Poulsen, Director of the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, discusses farm biosecurity with Larry Lee.  What's the meaning of "Gold Status" and what the new findings of the virus in Texas cattle might mean for Wisconsin beef and dairy producers. 

Another beautiful day on the way.  The exception might be in far western Wisconsin, and possibly on the Iowa/WI border.  Stu Muck says some stray showers could swing in there.  Otherwise a sunny, calm day on the way.

When McKenna Reichling was 17 years old, she lost her older brother, Myles, to suicide. Although she was still in high school, she realized the importance of mental health and decided it was time to take better care of her own. Since then, she says she has become, “ an advocate for my family, for myself, and for, you know, our whole community just to advocate for mental health and resilience.”

This series is presented by Rural Mutual Insurance. 

What's going on?  With the holidays just around the corner, Wisconsin cheesemakers and the dairy farms that work with them are accustomed to escalated sales.  This year - it's missing.  Jenny Wackershauser, dairy analyst with EverAg in Platteville, says it's because of high diesel prices.  Reimbursement on freight shipments are meeting actual expenses, and companies are hesitant to make a move.  Wackershauser says that's the same pattern being witnessed in retail featuring of dairy products.

Don't Slouch On Farm Biosecurity Plus Diesel Stops Holiday Buying Of Cheese/Butter

If you're frustrated that there's been no movement (except down) on cheese prices, you're not alone.  Jenny Wackershauser, dairy analyst with EverAg in Platteville, says high diesel prices are creating an anomaly in the market we haven't seen!  Right now the reimbursement factor provided to cheese processors that cut/wrap product from the west coast is not covering actual transportation costs.  This has led to the holiday buyers for retail and online sources to essentially - stop.

Wackershauser says everyone in dairy country is worried about the prolonged impact this could have on dairy farm margins - which are already in trouble.
