Exploring the Impact of Value-Added Products on Agriculture

Wisconsin's home to both farmed and wild elk.  Bob Bosold visits with Bill Knutson, an elk rancher in Holmen, about the market for the animals and the care they take.

Brad Rippey, Chief Meteorologist at USDA, says we're seeing a pattern change in weather from El Nino to La Nina. He explains what that means for farmers.

The 77th Alice in Dairyland is Halei Heinzel from Oconomowoc.  Carrie Mess was there for the announcement.  This marks the first time that an Alice comes from no farming background.

Stephanie Hoff talks to U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack about plans to possibly compensate dairy farms that have lost production due to High Path Avian Influenza in Dairy H5N1.  He says it's critical that farms impacted share information with USDA.

A Farm Bill is in the works at the nation's capitol, but it's taking time and a lot of work.  Charitee Seebecker chats with Wisconsin's U.S. Senator, Tammy Baldwin, about what she's advancing.

Meet The New "Alice"- Will USDA Assist Farms For HPAI Lost Milk

The 2023 Farm Bill drum has been beating for a while now as the deadline for this legislation has been delayed, and the timeline for when it will pass through Congress is still a question. Mike Stranz joins us. He’s the vice president of advocacy for the National Farmers Union, working on the Hill, but his roots are in northeast Wisconsin where he grew up. He gives us an update on how the Farmers Union is using this extra time to press policymakers on consolidation in agriculture. NFU is focused on ensuring there's competition in agriculture to keep input costs low and keep farms independent. He’s optimistic that Congress can get a farm bill done this year, but time will tell. He does anticipate a markup draft of the bill from the House before Memorial Day.
