Wisconsin's voice is being heard on the national scene regarding use of beef checkoff dollars.

Curt Larson, President & CEO of Equity Cooperative Livestock also is serving as president of the WI Beef Council.  Larson explains to Pam Jahnke that discussion is currently ongoing about channels where beef producers checkoff dollars will be spent.

Larson acknowledges that the entire industry is trying to do more with less.  Fewer cattle mean fewer investment dollars available overall.  That makes producer voices all the more important in the decision making process.

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

Every time a Wisconsin farmer sells an animal, a portion of that sale is dedicated to that commodities check-off program.  The program directs those funds toward research, education and promotion.

The Wisconsin beef industry includes not only cow/calf producers, feedlot operations, and breeding operations - but it also includes the depth of Wisconsin's dairy industry since many of those cows, steers, and calves will ultimately become a part of the beef industry.

Checkoff Chat, sponsored by the Wisconsin Beef Council and Equity Livestock Sales Assocation, keeps producers and consumers aware of where money's being spent and how consumers are reacting to their product.

Teri Barr discusses Madison School District’s Farm to School success, as students take raising food from seed to plate by learning how to grow and prepare fresh foods.

Larry Lee interviews Willie Cade with Repair-dot-org, who explains how repair costs for farm machinery now exceed the cost of operating that machinery on a per-acre basis, and how the trend of dealers carrying fewer parts is keeping down machines off line longer, costing farmers even more money.  He also suggests farmers opt out of the proposed John Deere settlement on right to repair and access to diagnostic software.

Kiley Allen introduces us to Wood County Century Farmers at D&J Kundinger Farm, with John and Dorothy Hardesty.
