New Zealand Milk Down More Than 3%

Wisconsin farms and rural landowners need to slow down and pay attention to lengthy agreements they're being offered for the land and solar development.  Bill Oemichen, Law Professor for UW-Extension says some of these agreements can be 10-14 pages in length, full of details you'll have to live with.  Stephanie Hoff leads us through some of the top items to look for.

Blain's Farm & Fleet just opened a new option for farms to gain access to pharmaceuticals they need.  Animal RX.  Chris Ramos with Blain's Animal RX explains what changed with the FDA that made it possible for Blain's to step in and fill the need.

Heili Heinzel from Oconomowoc was once intimidated by farmers.  She didn't meet her first cow until she was 16, but today - she wants to speak up for all of WI agriculture as Alice in Dairyland.  She talks to Pam Jahnke about her journey to this stage of her life, and what she hopes for in the potential new position.

Small, unique farming opportunities, farming events, community gathering spots - they all help build vigor for rural communities.  Sometimes those "good ideas" need funding, and Compeer Financial decide to step in as a partner.  Paul Dietman is the director of Emerging Markets for Compeer Financial and tells Pam Jahnke about their portfolio and who they work with.  Paid for by Compeer Financial.

Another "Alice" Candidate Highlight - And Serving Unique Farm Options

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a significant regulatory change affecting certain over-the-counter animal medications, prompting a shift towards prescription-only status. This decision, aimed at enhancing oversight and safety, particularly impacts medications commonly used by farmers and horse owners, such as oxytetracycline.

Oxytetracycline, previously as accessible as ibuprofen for farmers, has now become subject to the prescription-only rule, highlighting the need for alternative solutions and streamlined processes in veterinary care.

The transition to prescription status has raised concerns among farmers and animal owners regarding the purchasing process, especially during critical periods like calving season.

“This regulatory change underscores the importance of accessible and efficient means for obtaining necessary medications for farm animals and pets,” explains Chris Ramos, public relations and events coordinator for Blain’s Farm and Fleet.

In response to these challenges, various entities in the agricultural community have stepped in to address the evolving needs of farmers and pet owners. Among them, Blain's Farm and Fleet has initiated efforts to support its customer base through the implementation of the Animal Rx program.

Animal RX--Bridging the Gap in Access to Prescription Animal Medications

I’ll bet you probably think of Budweiser when you think of the Clydesdale horses. The commercials have certainly made this breed popular. What you may not know is that they are on the endangered species list. We talk about it with Nancy Osterhaus, past president of the Midwest Draft Horse Enthusiasts. First, she tells me about the association and how she cares for these gentle giants -- weighing a ton each -- at her farm in Columbus.
