It's just about county fair season and already livestock's moving around the state.  Remembering biosecurity before you leave the farm is an important message this year.  Jeff Morris, UW-Extension Swine Outreach Specialist visits with Pam Jahnke about the simple measures exhibitors can take to protect not only their animals, but their entire enterprises.

Smoke is back in Wisconsin this afternoon.  Mild temperatures roll in.  That's the update from Stu Muck.

Tariffs and human health are turning into interesting stories in the "Windy City".   Known for Lake Michigan beaches and urban parks, the Chicago Park District is using ever-higher biodiesel blends to reduce emissions and improve air quality in America's third-largest city. Lawn mowers, beach rakers, truckers, and tree trimmers are operating on blends up to B100 (100 percent biodiesel), achieving up to an 86 percent reduction in carbon emissions. The Chicago Park District estimates it has saved people about $67,000 in health care costs by improving the air quality with biodiesel. Michael Dimitroff, manager of Art Initiatives with Chicago Parks, wants to see the City of Chicago utilize more biodiesel across its fleets. He visits with Stephanie Hoff during a Clean Fuels Alliance tour, about the measures.

Cody Koster, dairy analyst with EverAg, catches up with Pam Jahnke to focus on how dairy's maneuvering through tight heifer supplies and incredible prices for baby calves. Koster says this is a trend that will no doubt influence milk production, probably by this fall.
