While turkey is king over the Thanksgiving holiday, there’s a growing opportunity for other meats to take some of the spotlight. According to economists at CoBank, some consumers have moved away from preparing a whole turkey for Thanksgiving, and ham is capturing a larger share of protein purchases. So today, we ask the butcher what the best options are for preparing ham for the holiday table. Nick Vorpagel joins us at Lake Geneva Country Meats, a third-generation butcher shop. They do custom processing of beef, hogs, and lambs in addition to their retail store. Ham is one of his specialties – and there are multiple cuts out there for you to experiment with. Nick has the details.

Wisconsin agriculture remains a cornerstone of the state's economy, despite facing challenges in 2024. Dr. Steve Deller and Jeff Hadachek, economists with the University of Wisconsin, have released their latest study, The Contribution of Agriculture to the Wisconsin Economy,highlighting trends, challenges, and opportunities as the state moves toward 2025

Hadachek, in his first year with UW Extension, emphasized the significance of food processing. "Of the $116 billion Wisconsin agriculture contributes to the state economy, $107 billion comes from food processing" he noted. "From cheese makers to cranberry processors, much of the value happens off the farm."

Food processing has grown substantially, increasing from $82 billion in 2017 to $107 billion today. "Labor productivity is rising, but fewer workers are spending money in local economies," said Deller.
