USDA recently announced the Harvest Fuel Relief Program to help farmers deal with the high cost of diesel fuel, but a dairy organization says it's not just the row croppers that need assistance since a typical dairy farm uses fuel every day of the year, and not just during planting and harvest time.Sherry Bunting with the American Dairy Coalition says they've conducted two member polls, with one of them getting more than 450 responses in 10 days pointing out farmer concerns about fuel costs. Larry Lee listens in.

Sunshine today and overall a nice weekend for Wisconsin.  Stu Muck says this may be the last weekend where we see temperatures near 60 degrees or better.

Everybody's looking for a deal, and when it comes to fall produce - they're out there!  Kiley Allan helps us understand what you need to do to extent the life of those "deals" in fresh produce.  Bulk potatoes, onions, carrots and more make look good, but only if you store them properly.  She finds out the tips and tricks from Heather Quackenboss, UW-Extension Home Educator in LaCrosse County.

Farmers like "a deal" just like anyone else.  So when farmland near you comes up for sale, you know it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Property love is what Dr. David Kohl, professor emeritus at Virginia Tech calls it.  When you'll do almost anything to get that land even if it's not good for your bottom line.

A single man from Norway made his way to Wisconsin back in 1861.  Finally by 1864 he had the means to purchase his first farm. That farm is still in the family hands of Oscar Ryerson.  Descendents Sue Ritchie and Peter Redinger are keeping the farm going and in presentable shape despite living out of state.  Sue explains the early years of their family moving from New York to Columbia county to keep the farm going.  Today they enjoy maintaining the buildings and have planned for the next generation to continue the story.
