The fifth annual Wisconsin Arts & Peony Festival will be here June 13-15 in Beaver Dam, and this year, it’s attracting an international audience. Today, we’re catching up with Michelle Ovans of Ovans Peony Farm in Beaver Dam - the state’s largest fresh-cut peony farm. Michelle cares for more than 1,600 peony plants representing about 100 varieties. Her farm is on display during the upcoming festival. And while her flowers are exquisite, there’s even more to look forward to this year.  Stephanie Hoff finds out more about the event, and the flowers.

A mix of clouds and showers are on the way for Wisconsin.  Stu Muck breaks out the regions.

The stars were out Wednesday night and it had nothing to do with the sky.  The 96th annual Wisconsin FFA Convention announced the new officer team, and also the Wisconsin Stars of FFA.  Kiley Allan speaks with Ashton Brusveen from the Randolph-Cambria-Friesland chapter - the new Star in Agribusiness.  Brusveen has spent a lot of time on his seed business.  Seed Clean is his own enterprise that purchases seed bulk from area farmers and then cleans it and resells it.  Brusveen will now advance to national competition in October.

The butter market has been performing above expectations lately.  Katie Burgess, dairy risk manager with EverAg joins Pam Jahnke to discuss the differences between U.S. produced butter and the world marketplace.
