It's "go time" at the state capitol for policy and policymakers.  Pam Jahnke chats with Sen. Pat Testin, chair of the Senate Agriculture and Revenue Committee.  Testin is spearheading efforts to try and protect the state's hemp industry from a federal mandate that could end the entire industry by the end of the year.  He's got a public hearing slated for Thursday.

Another foggy start for Wisconsin, but another day of above normal temps.  Pam and Stu Muck also talk about the passing of longtime farm broadcaster, Bob Meyer.

The deadline is approaching for the quarterly sales booklet for the Steffes Group.  Ashley Huhn tells Pam Jahnke about how they're reaching buyers in the new calendar year.  Paid for by Steffes Group.

Winter can mean being cooped up and inactive, but Green County wants to give people a reason to get out!  Stephanie Hoff gets the lowdown on the "passport" program they're promoting to get people visiting Green County and learning about their agriculture heritage.

Statistics now show that people involved in production agriculture are 46% more likely to be affected by dementia and Alzheimers.  Ben Jarboe visits with a researcher that's making it her business to help provide resources for families and caretakers charged with helping that individual and keeping them safe.  Free online resources rollout January 26th.
