Wisconsin Dells Farm to Fork Breakfast June 3

When the heat and humidity returns to Wisconsin next week, plenty of people will turn to air conditioning and fans - including Wisconsin farmers.  Stephanie Hoff visits with Master Electrician, Aaron Robarge, about evaluating your electrical system and considering maintenance before you flip that switch.

Cristelle Geudot, UW-Extension Fruit Entomologist has confirmed reports of thrip in Wisconsin strawberry fields.  This super small insect can decimate a field in a very short time. Geudot explains to Pam Jahnke how the insect arrives in the state.


Memorial weekend offers people the opportunity to get out and camp, ATV, hike - and they might just fall in love with the property they're enjoying.  Purchasing that raw land can be problematic though.  Establishing value and getting financing isn't something a traditional bank likes to handle.  Pam Jahnke visits with Compeer loan officer, Steve Leffew, about questions potential land buyers need to ask.  Sponsored by Compeer Financial.

Thrips Have Arrived In Wisconsin - Strawberry Growers Watch Out

Although often thought of as a fruit, rhubarb is in fact a vegetable. Fresh rhubarb is available in Wisconsin from May through late June and thanks to the fluctuating spring weather we’ve had, some growers are a little behind.

Kathy Bures, owner of Bures Berry Patch in Barneveld, says they are a week behind compared to where they were last year. However they are in peak rhubarb season and things are beginning to pick up.

She provides some insight into what it takes to grow rhubarb and shares some of her favorite recipes to incorporate it.
