The state's largest general farm organizations are tagging health care as a primary issue in this legislative session. Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation is looking to have its own health care plan similar to several other state farm bureaus. And Wisconsin Farmers Union wants to expand BadgerCare by having Wisconsin join the more than 40 other states who have accepted federal Medicaid expansion funds. Gov. Tony Evers shares his thoughts.

In other news, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin has seen leadership changes in the past few weeks. Chairperson Rebecca Cameron Valcq will be leaving the Evers Administration effective Feb. 2. And the Wisconsin State Senate fired Commissioner Tyler Huebner. Evers says the transition shouldn't hurt the trajectory of getting Wisconsin connected to broadband.

Finally, the governor says in his travels across Wisconsin, labor needs continue to be a focal point among farmers. He's pushing the Legislature to make it feasible for farm workers to get driver's licenses.
