Dairy Girl Network Continues to Shine

In Wisconsin agriculture, we talk about every day being Earth Day.  Jill Welke talks about farming practices with Kyle Nilsestuen. He owns Solhjeim Farms in the driftless area of Wisconsin- south of Arcadia. He talked about the conservation practices he uses every day - not just Earth Day.

Love is in the air and summer weddings on the way!  If you're planning a wedding at barn event venue - understand that there's a lot of investment going into that facility including insurance.  Carmen Briggin Kutsma, agent with Rural Mutual Insurance in Poynette explains what venue owners need to think about.

Charitee Seebecker gives us an update from the Midwest Horse Fair.  The event concluded on Sunday.  She talks To Pam Bounds, one of the coordinators for the "Top Hand Challenge".  This highlights multiple skills that cowboys/cowgirls had to display.  5 different events were involved, and one family made up a large number of the contestants.

There's Science Behind That Glass Of Milk - And Happy Earth Day

Growing up in the agriculture industry, you may have heard the phrases, cowboy up or cowgirl up. But for Amberley Snyder, her will to cowgirl up is stronger than most.  Amberley is a professional barrel racer that turned tragedy into triumph and shows just how resilient the agriculture industry really is.

Snyder's love for horses began at a young age, leading her into the world of rodeo. By the time she reached high school, she had already clinched a world all-around title, setting her sights on a professional career in rodeo. However, fate dealt her a devastating blow when she was involved in a rollover truck accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Undeterred by the immense physical and emotional hurdles she faced, Snyder made a triumphant return to the competitive arena just 18 months after her life-altering accident. With a seat belt secured to her saddle, she defied expectations and became the first and only professional paralyzed barrel racer in the United States.

Finding Freedom in the Saddle: The Inspiring Tale of Amberley Snyder

From marketing your agribusiness to doing your schoolwork -- broadband is not a luxury, it's a requirement. Bringing high-speed internet to rural Wisconsin has been a focus at both the state and federal levels, and rural providers want to see it continue. Millions of dollars have trickled down to providers to not just lay the fiber, but get what they call the ‘last mile’ of service to the end user. Marquette-Adams Telephone Cooperative is one of the providers that has benefited from grant dollars to get internet service into homes. CEO Darren Moser says the grants have been crucial to bridge the broadband gap.
