Kiley Allan visits with Extension Conservation and Nutrient Specialist Kevin Erb about manure handling safety. Did you know over half of manure-handling accidents occur on the road? More than half of those accidents happen at intersections because of speed, taking corners too sharply, or failing to account for the liquid sloshing in the tank.


Ag meteorologist Stu Muck says showers and a cool front are expected today before we get back to a warm, dry weekend. April showers are expected next week.


The 64th WPS Farm Show at the EAA grounds has seen a strong turnout of visitors and exhibitors, serving as a vital "reunion" for the agribusiness community. Spokesman Matt Cullen highlights the event's success! Today is the final day, and it includes free admission.


The Wisconsin Soybean Program has donated an innovative, PFAS-free firefighting foam to the Fitchburg Fire Department. Ben Jarboe talks to Director Jonathon Gibbs and Fire Chief Scott Sarver about the safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemicals.


Katie Burgess, a dairy broker and analyst with Ever.Ag, says recent reports indicate that U.S. cow numbers have reached their highest levels since the early 1990s, yet dairy markets remain bolstered by a slower-than-average growth in cheese and butter inventories and strong export demand. As European cheese prices climb, the U.S. market has followed suit, pushing Class III milk prices to new life-of-contract highs for the second half of the year. This surge in pricing presents a strategic opportunity for producers to manage price risk while the market sits at these elevated levels.
