Wisconsin Celebrates National FFA Week

Sandhill cranes are known to reside in Wisconsin until they can no longer easily find their food. Scientists call the birds generalist omnivores. This means they eat grubs, insects, tubers, plants, small reptiles, rodents, and now the crops farmers have planted. Jackie Silvicke-Scott is the Private Lands Biologist with the International Crane Foundation. She tells us what farmers can do to prevent the cranes from making their fields a dining hall.

Stephanie Hoff visits with Jesse Wagner, a third-generation maple syrup producer from Inthewoods Sugarbush, to discuss the delicate "freeze-thaw" balance required for a perfect harvest.

The DeLong Company recently expanded its Port of Milwaukee facility with an 800,000-bushel capacity and technological upgrades, allowing vessels to reach markets in Europe faster than ever before, explains General Manager Doug Kloepping.

Ben Jarboe admits most men are not Bobby Flay in the kitchen. That's why Christy Paplow presented at the most recent Wisconsin Custom Operators event about how to feed large farm crews during the busy season. She emphasizes the use of grilling, bulk shopping, and travel crockpots to maintain efficiency. And guys, you can do it, too!
