Don't let hopes dim on the possibility of getting a Farm Bill done.  That's the encouragement from National Farmers Union President, Rod Larew.  He talks with Bob Bosold about the inches they're gaining in Washington, D.C., and how critical it is that farmer growers continue to voice their needs.

We hit the peak today as far as warm temperatures are concerned.  Stu Muck says from here on out, temps drop and snow starts moving back in.

Consumers vote with their dollars, and they're continuing to vote in the positive for organics.  Wisconsin's a big player in that arena according to Katrina Becker, owner of Cattail Organics and a member of Wisconsin’s Organic Advisory Board.  Ben Jarboe learns that there's a federal bill under consideration that would help shore up and grow the "middle section of agriculture" to maintain and grow that market share.

Farmers' voices DO matter in policy development.  WA Representative and farmer, Dan Newhouse, says that they are making a difference in helping to craft many different policy items in D.C. and he hopes they'll continue to spend time reaching out to elected officials.

There is little good news on the horizon for Wisconsin dairy operators regardless of size.  Matt Tranel, dairy analyst with EverAg explains what the latest news is influencing dairy - which includes the latest global dairy trade direction and new dietary guidelines announced.
