Fall is an ideal time to start thinking about composting projects.  That's the word from statewide horticulture specialist, Bruce Spangenberg.  He tells Ben Jarboe what the process is all about, and shares tips for first time composters to make it a success. Fall is ideal because of the volume of organic material available. Spangenberg  also recommends not putting meat food scraps in the pile because it will not decompose quickly and may attract animals. 

After a little rain today, sunshine should return.  That's the forecast from Stu Muck.

Ashley Huhn with the Steffes Group joins Pam Jahnke to talk about preparing for your auction.  Time is the key component that can really influence a sales success.  Paid for by Steffes Group.

Agriculture plays a part in everything we do, and can show up in surprising areas. When Graham Cassellius bought his 34-acre farm named Cassell Hollow Farm in Vernon County, he inherited about 3,500 hazelnut trees. It took a few years for him to decide what direction he could take the crop when - surprise - he discovered tattoo art.  Today his hazelnut skin oil helps people maintain their ink, as well as their beards!  Cassellius and Cassell Hollow Farm will actually be featured at the Madison Tattoo Festival in September!
