Risk Management For Stray Voltage, PFAS, And Crops

View descriptionShare

Stray voltage on the farm could be disrupting your animals’ routine and your bottom line through no fault of your own. Bryanna Handel has first-hand experience at her farm B. Kurt Dairy in Barneveld. She realized there was a problem as soon as her cows started acting out of the ordinary this time last year.Flip on your fog lights!

In addition to drizzle, some counties are in a dense fog advisory again today, says Stu Muck.

Farmers don’t use PFAS forever chemicals in their operations, but they are feeling the effects. The American Farm Bureau Federation says that the PFAS substances that are found in nonstick cookware and firefighting foam among other things, are polluting the land and water. Unfortunately, a farm could be liable!

Also in agribusiness news today, a Burnett County poultry flock is the third this month to contract HPAI.

Compeer Financial's Cole Patrick tells us about risk management options, such as crop insurances, as we continue to wait on a Farm Bill. Cole says legislation outside the Farm Bill have been passed this year to ensure up-to-date options for 2025.
