Hedge Becker never planned on becoming director of the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival, but a friend’s encouragement and her passion for fiber arts eventually led her there. Now, Becker is helping grow the September 11-13 event in Jefferson.

Becker tells Pam Jahnke the festival includes more than 115 fiber arts classes, sheep breed demonstrations, working dogs, shepherd education, and even discussions about using sheep to graze around solar farms. She also explains how it has become an annual family reunion for many visitors, thanks to the shared love of sheep, fiber, and the people who come together around them.

There's a maelstrom of information blowing through dairy circles these days.  Matt Tranel, dairy analyst with EverAg is trying to keep a pulse on it all.

Tranel tells Pam Jahnke that there's a lot of information that could be gleaned from the upcoming World Ag Supply Demand Estimates that will be released from USDA.  While most of the emphasis is on corn and soybeans, dairy is included in the outlook.  

Tranel points to the corn and soybean estimates as a direct indicator of feed costs - which have gone up!  Will that mean dairies change their approach to animal management?
