Holiday Season Brings Market Slowdown

For over four decades, Randy Cutler of Cutler Fencing has been building fences across Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and Minnesota. What began as a passion for farming in the 1970s evolved into a lifetime dedicated to creating reliable, efficient fencing systems.

“I started out raising sheep and learning about rotational grazing and electric fencing at the Spooner Research Station,” said Cutler. “Since then, fencing technology has come a long way.”

Today, advancements such as low-impedance chargers, solar-powered options, and efficient energizers make modern fences more effective. However, Randy warns against common mistakes. “A lot of people watch a YouTube video and think they’ve got it figured out,” he said. “But bracing, spacing, and grounding are often done wrong.”

Choosing the Best Fence for Your Farm's Needs

Stray voltage on the farm could be disrupting your animals’ routine and your bottom line through no fault of your own. Bryanna Handel has first-hand experience at her farm B. Kurt Dairy in Barneveld. She realized there was a problem as soon as her cows started acting out of the ordinary this time last year.Flip on your fog lights!

In addition to drizzle, some counties are in a dense fog advisory again today, says Stu Muck.

Farmers don’t use PFAS forever chemicals in their operations, but they are feeling the effects. The American Farm Bureau Federation says that the PFAS substances that are found in nonstick cookware and firefighting foam among other things, are polluting the land and water. Unfortunately, a farm could be liable!

Also in agribusiness news today, a Burnett County poultry flock is the third this month to contract HPAI.

Compeer Financial's Cole Patrick tells us about risk management options, such as crop insurances, as we continue to wait on a Farm Bill. Cole says legislation outside the Farm Bill have been passed this year to ensure up-to-date options for 2025.

Groundbreaking research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is transforming the diagnosis and prevention of equine injuries. A UW-Madison-developed standing CT scanner, commercially available since 2019, is enabling safer and more precise imaging for horses, reducing risks associated with traditional methods.

"Standing CT scanning allows us to identify injuries in horses early, often before symptoms appear," explained Dr. Peter Muir, co-director of UW’s Comparative Orthopedic Research Laboratory. "This technology is particularly important for diagnosing lameness and stress fractures in athletic horses, like racing Thoroughbreds."
