Heading To The Home Stretch - Brant Smith

Wisconsin's weather mesonet is now recognized on the national scene.  Chris Vagasky, coordinator for the effort, tells Pam Jahnke that the American Association of State Climatologists notified us that after a thorough review of our program, including station siting, sensor performance, station maintenance, quality assurance and quality control, and end-to-end services, that Wisconet has earned the “AASC Recognized Mesonet” designation. He explains that Wisconsin's in a tough spot with precipitation, especially in northern Wisconsin.

Rain continues around the state.  Not heavy, but enough to stop field work.  Pam Jahnke gives us a quick, overall update.

Knowing what's happening at auctions is interesting to more than just farmers.  Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group explains that their quarterly catalog gets a lot of attention from people like bankers.  He explains the latest installment and what seems to be getting the most attention.  Paid for by Steffes Group.

The rural and agriculture voice really matters this election Tuesday.  Animal rights activitist groups have spent big money in several farm states focused on "their" candidates.  Hunter Irhman from the Nat'l Cattlemen's Beef Association explains how they try and counter all that money.

Investors have fled the commodities market, but why?  That's the question posed to John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing out of West Bend.  He says the market is also a little jittery pre-election.

The Rooted organization's "Farm to School" program helps students from across the Madison Metropolitan School District really learn where their meals come from by growing their own food.

Teri Barr talked with several of those leading these educational efforts during a recent celebration of the program held at Troy Farm Garden on the city's northside. She also finds out how these lessons end up going well beyond gardening, and why other schools are now using this idea as an example.
