You may be thinking Christmas trees today, but Wisconsin's timber industry is much more robust than that.  Nate Zimdars talks to Logan Wells, timber instructor at the Northern Wisconsin Technical College in Wausau.  He explains the depth, diversity and quality that the state's timber industry offers the world.

During the pandemic all eyes were watching the meat processing industry.  Faced with labor shortages and supply chain glitches, it was a struggle to keep things rolling.  During that dark time, a Wisconsin family found opportunity.  Charitee Seebecker visits with Keri Retallick.  Retallick's family have been in the livestock industry their entire careers, but the pandemic encouraged them to open their own butcher shop and restaurant.

Cattle market collapse is what the trade's talking about today.  Is it justified?  John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend says cattle supplies are still tight, but more cattle are entering the United States from Mexico and Canada.
