Budget reconciliation isn't new, but it hasn't ever been used to reshape core farm bill programs. The House Agriculture Committee passed its budget reconciliation this week and wants to have it up for a House vote before Memorial Day, says Tyler Wenzlaff, Director of National Affairs with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation. He says there were key provisions for farmers that they're excited about, including a raise in reference prices for crop safety nets, and an update to the Dairy Margin Coverage program.

Trempealeau County’s Addison Connolly has been working hard behind the scenes to turn a childhood interest into an international opportunity. Her dedication, drive, and deep bond with her dog have led her to one of the biggest moments of her young career—earning a spot on Team USA for the Junior Open Agility World Championship in Portugal. 

Her agility partner is Cooper, a black and white border collie. Cooper is 24 inches tall and full of energy and heart. “He’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of dog,” she said. “He’s super easygoing but driven to do anything I ask.”

Weather is often one of the biggest uncertainties for farmers across the U.S. throughout the growing season. With many recent years of drought and in Wisconsin’s case some spring flooding the USDA works to make sure that producers know what to expect year in and year out. Brad Rippey an Agricultural Meteorologist for the USDA Chief Economist's office is one of the original authors of the U.S. drought monitor. He says this year has already seen an unusual amount of weather disasters in the U.S. and that there is still a lot of uncertainty. Rippey is confident that there will be lots of drought this year with the only question being where exactly it will impact. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Soybean Association.
