Wildfires, drought, insects.  You name it and it's been making hay growing in the west difficult.  Since many dairy operators depend on western hay for supplies, Bob Bosold did some investigating during World Dairy Expo. Caleb Siemens is the general manager/salesman of Red River Forage.  His Canadian hay operation finds plenty of customers in the U.S.  He explains their approach to quality hay harvesting and some of the challenges they've been facing in the past few years.

Monday should remain nice as the week begins, but Stu Muck sees things changing.  Not only will temperatures start to dip, but moisture starts circling back in over Wisconsin.

Farmers votes will matter this election no matter where they are.  While we've all heard what the candidates are promising, Chad Zuleger, Executive Director of Dairy Business Association, says they're planning what happens after the election.  Zuleger says the agenda they're prioritizing with members now is what they'll be presenting and educating the newly elected on.  Larry Lee finds out about some of those priorities.


Shock is the best way to describe traders reactions to the World Ag Supply Demand report released on Friday morning.  Rhett Montgomery, trade analyst with DTN, explains where the shock was focused. 

Pam Jahnke introduces us to the latest persona involved with the "Born to Dairy" campaign.  During World Dairy Expo, Green Bay Packers Lambeau Leap Legend, Leroy Butler, was introduced as that persona.  He tells Pam about his educational experience learning on Wisconsin farms.  Calves, cows and care where all new to him.  He says it was fascinating, educational, and inspiring.  Now he'll be spreading the dairy news as the LegendDairy Leaper.  Paid for by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.
