The movie Green and Gold opened nationwide on Friday.  It's the story of a Wisconsin dairy farmers struggling to hang on to the farm, when he's offered a chance to bet it all on the Green Bay Packers winning a championship.  He takes the bet.  Pam Jahnke visits with one of the Upper Michigan brothers that produced and directed the film.  Davin Lindwall tells Pam about their commitment to shooting the film in Wisconsin, and how community members turned out to make it a success.  Craig Culver, who helped to financially support the movie, said the story resonated with him since he and his father were struggling at the same time in launching their restaurant.  Craig T. Nelson says the project was a labor of love and appreciation for farming - and that it's actually a part of his heritage.

Brooke Rollins was confirmed by the Senate Agriculture Committee to continue the approval process toward being USDA's next Secretary.  She made comment during her review that the president is aware of the potential impact tariffs could have on farmers and agribusiness.  Rollins said that they've already discussed previous programs, like market facilitation payments, to help defer the injury caused.
