Wisconsin continues to be a hub for hemp research, even having a hand in new resources, such as the Midwestern Hemp Database and the Emerging Crops Website. Phillip Alberti, a research program manager at UW-Madison in the hemp program walks Mid-West Farm Report through trends he’s seeing in Wisconsin’s hemp industry, and the resources that hemp growers now have at their fingertips. He adds that grant dollars are focused toward grain and fiber hemp vs CBD hemp because of potential in that market. But currently, CBD hemp is where a majority of the value is.

Revealing Beef To Culinary Students - Chef Noah Hawkins

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.
