Finding volunteers has become like finding a needle in a haystack for many groups.  Ian Hill knows all about it. Community events are something we hold near and dear in rural Wisconsin. Whether it's your town’s summer festival, a dairy breakfast, or a county fair. Those events can’t happen without people willing to give up their time, money, and energy to volunteer, but how do you recruit those people? This morning we’re talking to Ian Hill. He is the CEO of The Changing Point. He works with 500 fair boards across the country, including here in Wisconsin to help them build their volunteer team. Stephanie Hoff gets some details.

Warmer weather's building over Wisconsin.  That's the forecast with Stu Muck.

Today, it's all about making sure that producers are on the same page with carbon marketers as far as jargon.  Both agriculture and the carbon market world use a lot of unique phrases.  Understanding what those phrases mean and how they can influence an agreement are critical for today's farmers looking at the financial opportunity the carbon market may present.  Pam Jahnke talks to Cassandra Strupp, program manager for Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin about the program, and how the carbon market opportunities are advancing.

John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend joins Pam Jahnke.  Have you seen the price of a steak lately?  Heinberg says the latest cattle numbers available, and the fact that the U.S. is not allowing Mexican cattle to cross the border (screw worm) is compounding the issue.  He also says it will take time for the much-talked-about egg market to rebound.
