Meet The Gumz Farms And HPAI Still What Market Discusses - Heinberg

View descriptionShare

It's a powerful message to look at what one farm can grow in Wisconsin, and how many families it supports.  Supports not only with good paying jobs, but produce that keeps them fed.  Meet Roderick Gumz from Endeavor.  Their diversified farm grows corn and soybeans, carrots, onions, potatoes and mint!  Pam Jahnke finds out about the marketing side.

HPAI in dairy, and now testing in beef, has federal officials monitoring results and world reaction.  Doug McKalip, Chief Agricultural Negotiator in the Office of the United States Trade Representative, says they're putting the emphasis on science.

Mikaela King from Big Bend knew she wanted to be "Alice in Dairyland" since she first met "Alice" as a fair youth in Waukesha County.  King grew up on a beef farm, but kept the passion for story-telling through her educational process at the Univ. of Minnesota.  Now she's ready for the next step.

Native plants might be an option your considering for your garden this year.  Charitee Seebecker talks to Amy Staffen - DNR Conservation Biologist about how to get things started.

John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing catches up with Pam Jahnke.  The wet weather and severe storms over the weekend slowed spring planting, but it's still too early to be a market influence. Heinberg says the continued focus on HPAI in dairy, and now testing of beef has the market anxious.
