View descriptionShare
 

Madison, Wisconsin becomes the center of the equine world.  The Midwest Horse Fair returns to the Alliant Energy Center this weekend.  Bob Bosold visits with executive director, Terri Giannetti, talks about the varied horse breeds that will be featured, and some of the hands-on learning opportunities they'll offer.  Giannetti says they're using every available inch of space on the grounds for the show.

Wisconsin's picking itself up after a nasty set of storms overnight.  Stu Muck recaps some of the reports, and tells us about more wet weather on the way.

It's a Wyffels Wednesday with Brent Tharp, technical products manager for Wyffels Hybrids.  Ben Jarboe discusses planting progress so far in the corn belt, and the wet conditions being faced.  Tharp says patience will pay off.  He's advising not to make any missteps this spring given the cost of seed and fertilizer.  Paid for by Wyffels Hybrids.

The American Farm Bureau has released a nationwide survey on fertilizer prices and how farms are dealing with the expense.  Pam Jahnke reports that 70% of the more than 5,000 respondents said they won't be able to afford all the fertilizer they need for this growing season.

The Wisconsin Beef Council sponsored the Best Beef Entree award at the recent Wisconsin ProStart Invitational, inspiring the next generation of culinary leaders. Brady Weiland, a beef and dairy producer from Columbus, tells Stephanie Hoff about the experience as a judge, and tasting the creative ways that students prepared decadent beef dishes. He also gives us a firsthand look at why representing the dairy perspective on the state checkoff board is vital for the entire beef industry's success. Paid for by Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association.
