UW–Madison's Data Science Institute is a campus-wide research institute that focuses on data science and artificial intelligence. The group isn't just working with computer scientists, though. Rather, they work with researchers across campus to leverage artificial intelligence in their individual products. Kyle Cranmer is the director for the Data Science Institute. He gave Kiley Allan a closer look at the research they're doing to tie together artificial intelligence and the dairy industry.

Research Develops Relationship Between Farmers & AI

Farmers don't need to go it alone when it comes to conservation projects on their farms.  Jill Welke investigates options and assistance with Amber Radaatz, part of the Discovery Farms network in the state.  Radaatz says there's always projects going on and always interest in engaging with more farmers in different areas.

Nice Monday on the way but watch out for wet weather later this week. Stu Muck gives us a quick rundown.

With the tight margins farms are facing, you can't afford to miss any savings.  Larry Lee focuses on leasing land and the going rates with Jackie McCarville, UW-Madison Extension Agent.  McCarville says it's not just about entering into these land lease agreements, it's also about being to adjust them as time goes on.  It's also a mechanism for land owners to be able to exit when necessary.

World Dairy Expo's trade show may not begin until Tuesday but the dairy cattle action has already begun.  Pam Jahnke updates us on how some Wisconsin youth have been doing already in competitive events.

The phrase "influencers" has become a familiar.  Now those influencers are being called on by animal rights groups to sound off on farm policy development in Washington, D.C.  Pam Jahnke visits with Will Coggins, research director with CEW.  Center for the Environment and Welfare has found out that animal rights groups are paying basically anyone with a presence on social media to post comments about "Save our Bacon".  This is a policy piece that was part of the current farm bill being carved.  It would protect consumers from legislation like Prop 12 in California that limits production practices.  Coggins says their research shows consumers regret having Prop 12 in place. It's driven food costs up dramatically and limited access.  Coggins says these influences generally know nothing about agriculture let alone animal agriculture, but are trying to sway policemakers direction.

Andy Larson - Farm Program Director for Food Finance Institute

We start our morning with the Fabulous Farm Babe and USDA's Richard Fordyce. They talk about the security measures that are in place to keep farmer data secure. 


Stu Muck says lower temperatures, and a little rain are possible going into the week of World Dairy Expo.


Carey Jones is still working the land of his Richland County farm in the Township of Richwood. He's raising beef cattle, growing corn and soybeans -- while also holding down a full-time job. It's important. The farm has gone through seven generations during the last 100 years. But at times, Jones had to fight to get pieces of it back. Paid for by Compeer Financial.


Is the next major health food cranberry juice? A Wisconsin grower thinks it may be. Larry Lee talks with the Warrens family.


To round out a series filled with impactful stories, Pam Jahnke visits with Dorothy Harms. She is the founder of the Farmer Angel Network. Mental Health Week series paid for by Rural Mutual Insurance.
