Dairy Innovation Hub Leader Excited About Future

Many Wisconsin growers have been concentrating on harvesting soybeans, but now the combines are heading toward the corn fields.  Lucas Clayton, district sales manager with Wyffels in southwest Wisconsin is ready for the data.

Clayton says the heat and dry weather have really helped on moisture within that ear - and the plant as a whole.  Keeping a plan in place for harvesting those fields that might have been compromised by weather events is important.  Stalk quality remains something to monitor.

While you're monitoring those stalks, Clayton reminds growers to share their harvest information at the Wyffels Harvest website.  No individual grower is identified, but information is aggregated to allow everyone a real-time sense of how the harvest is going.

Here Comes The Corn - Lucas Clayton

"Perfect Sundays" debuted at World Dairy Expo with producer Sam Goldberg on hand.  It's a mini-series that has a dairy family at its core who suffers the suicide of its patriarch.  What happens next?  How do you go on?  How does the farm go on, or does it?  Pam Jahnke visits with the New York City native on how he found his way to this project.  The farms he met along the way, and how he hopes to partner with faith-based groups to spread its messages.

Another nice day for Wisconsin before things begin to change.  Stu Muck says we've got cooling temperatures and more rain moving in by Wednesday.

Canadian farmers are a little ahead of Wisconsin when it comes to the current harvest.  That means those growers are moving into auction mode already.  Pam Jahnke talks about it with Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group.  Paid for by Steffes Group.


Markets are still reeling from the huge corn numbers announced during the World Ag Supply Demand report.  John Heinberg, Market Advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend weighs in on what's next.  Will be see a rally anytime soon?  What will it take to escalate these markets?  Are the USDA numbers for real?  Pam Jahnke goes after those answers.

NY City Producer Finds Dairy Engaging Plus Who's Going To Buy - Heinberg

Wildfires, drought, insects.  You name it and it's been making hay growing in the west difficult.  Since many dairy operators depend on western hay for supplies, Bob Bosold did some investigating during World Dairy Expo. Caleb Siemens is the general manager/salesman of Red River Forage.  His Canadian hay operation finds plenty of customers in the U.S.  He explains their approach to quality hay harvesting and some of the challenges they've been facing in the past few years.

Monday should remain nice as the week begins, but Stu Muck sees things changing.  Not only will temperatures start to dip, but moisture starts circling back in over Wisconsin.

Farmers votes will matter this election no matter where they are.  While we've all heard what the candidates are promising, Chad Zuleger, Executive Director of Dairy Business Association, says they're planning what happens after the election.  Zuleger says the agenda they're prioritizing with members now is what they'll be presenting and educating the newly elected on.  Larry Lee finds out about some of those priorities.


Shock is the best way to describe traders reactions to the World Ag Supply Demand report released on Friday morning.  Rhett Montgomery, trade analyst with DTN, explains where the shock was focused. 

Pam Jahnke introduces us to the latest persona involved with the "Born to Dairy" campaign.  During World Dairy Expo, Green Bay Packers Lambeau Leap Legend, Leroy Butler, was introduced as that persona.  He tells Pam about his educational experience learning on Wisconsin farms.  Calves, cows and care where all new to him.  He says it was fascinating, educational, and inspiring.  Now he'll be spreading the dairy news as the LegendDairy Leaper.  Paid for by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.
