After 60 years in teaching and broadcasting on the WI Public Radio Station Network, Larry Meiller is retiring.  Bob Bosold (who was a student of Larry's) chats with Meiller about how he started in broadcasting, and how things have changed.  One highlight is the amazingly popula call-in show that Meiller hosted.  Calls from across the state on people's pets!

Hot and humid.  That sums up the forecast for this week according to Stu Muck.  Heat indexes will reach the dangerous category for people and animals.

School may be adjourned for the summer but the learning continues at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton.  Kiley Allan tells us about a recent donation of land that will be used for hands on education in environmental sciences.  Paul Groell, Department Chair Natural Resources Program, explains what their priorities are for the 160 acres.

Tomorrow is USDA's first estimate of planted acres in 2026.  One analyst thinks there were fewer corn acres planted then the government expected.  Josh McClure, head of brokerage and consulting at the Farmer’s Business Network, San Francisco, California says they expect 1.2 million fewer corn acres planted.  He also notes that soybean acreage didn't pick up those extra corn acres.

Even with the heat and humidity - fairs must go on.  This week the Stoughton Jr. Fair in Stoughton gets things rolling on Tuesday.  Pam Jahnke gives a brief itinerary update on where folks might want to go for those stories.
