If the recent snow storm and subzero temps have been a problem for your power grid, maybe it's time to bring out an electrician for a consultation and a quote. Jeff Mahlkuch with A1 Electric in Monroe says the sooner the better to get a project scheduled for the lowest price. Some things to look for in the barn and in the house: flickering lights, exposed wiring, two-pronged outlets (instead of a third grounding prong). Taking care of these problems can prevent your grid from shutting down or another hazard, such as a fire.

How's Your Electrical Grid Holding Up?

Andy Larson - Farm Program Director for Food Finance Institute

We start our morning with the Fabulous Farm Babe and USDA's Richard Fordyce. They talk about the security measures that are in place to keep farmer data secure. 


Stu Muck says lower temperatures, and a little rain are possible going into the week of World Dairy Expo.


Carey Jones is still working the land of his Richland County farm in the Township of Richwood. He's raising beef cattle, growing corn and soybeans -- while also holding down a full-time job. It's important. The farm has gone through seven generations during the last 100 years. But at times, Jones had to fight to get pieces of it back. Paid for by Compeer Financial.


Is the next major health food cranberry juice? A Wisconsin grower thinks it may be. Larry Lee talks with the Warrens family.


To round out a series filled with impactful stories, Pam Jahnke visits with Dorothy Harms. She is the founder of the Farmer Angel Network. Mental Health Week series paid for by Rural Mutual Insurance.
