The maple syrup season is drawing to a close.  Always dependent on the weather, this year's season ended up a little shorter than Cedric Boettcher had hoped.  He's a fourth generation maple syrup operator in Cadott who explains the diversity of the industry to Bob Bosold.

Warmer today, with sunshine this weekend.  Stu Muck holds out weather hope on a Friday.

Ag suppliers are getting product in place, and out the door these days.  Pam Jahnke talks to Steve Bailie, market manager at the Monroe location for Helena Agri.  He says they're pretreating seed right now, and focused on gathering any information that will help minimize risk on a field-by-field basis, to save money.  Paid for by Helena Agri.

Two meat industry legends were inducted into the Wisconsin Meat Industry Hall of Fame on Thursday night.  Dan Sutherland who started his career at Johnsonville in 1982, and Fritz Usinger who is the fourth generation of the Fred Usinger, Inc. company - known as Usinger brats.  Both share what they think their legacy is to the industry with Pam Jahnke.

Likewise, plans are ramping up for the 78th annual "Alice in Dairyland" finale.  Hosted for the first time by Crawford County, committee member and former "Alice", Kaitlyn Kesler, tells Pam Jahnke about what they're doing to prepare.  She believes that Crawford county will draw good sized crowds for their events since people may have never experienced the piece of paradise before.

If I say "Girl Scout" I'm guessing you'll immediately think of the flavor of cookie you prefer.  That's expected since cookie sales are a hallmark of the Girl Scouts.  Today some of those young women are working on a badge with a different distinction.  A Wisconsin agriculture badge.  Stephanie Hoff explains that what started as a badge focused exclusively on dairy has now branched out to involve all Wisconsin agriculture.  Dane County dairy producer, John Haag, has helped with that and shares the story.
