Rural Policy Institute Releases New Study And Dairy's Waiting On Tariff Fight

View descriptionShare

Dairy hasn't felt the impacts of tariffs yet - but it likely will.  That's the conclusion of Dr. Leonard Polzin, dairy economist at UW-River Falls and state UW-Extension Dairy Economist.  Polzin talks to Bob Bosold about specific areas that might be targeted, and how Wisconsin's labeling on specialty cheeses might impact some of those tariffs.

Wisconsin will look prettier today, but winds will still be gusty.  Stu Muck paints a picture of weekend weather.

A relatively new group has published an important piece of guidance for policy in Wisconsin.  Bob Welch, executive director of the new Rural Policy Institute, highlights what the groups goal is, and also explains a new report they've released.  "The Rural/Urban Balance in Wisconsin" is a detailed, scientific research paper that breaks out geography and demographics of the state.  Welch says Wisconsin is still definitely "rural", and that has to be remembered in public policy.

Soybean growers are more than producers of livestock feed.  They're also fueling the next generation of renewable fuel.  Pam Jahnke gets an update with Steve Wilkens, WI Soybean Marketing Board Member, attending the 2025 GO Transportation conference.  Wilkens says it's his fourth year attending the conference that covers more than just road transportation. Paid for by WI Soybean Marketing Board.
