Wisconsin's in a pretty good spot when it comes to detection of animal disease, communication about that disease, and mitagating movement of the disease.  Stephanie Hoff talks to two state experts.  Julie Sweney from the unique Wisconsin Livestock Identification Consortium, and Adam Brock, food safety director at the WI Dept. of Ag., Trade and Consumer Protection.

Sometimes when you work with livestock, there's questions you can't find answers to.  The WI Farm Center is there to help.  Dr. Lynae Schott is a veterinarian that helps diagnose problems in dairy herds and work toward resolution.  She explains how farms can access the free service.

Members of the Wisconsin Farmers Union are taking issue with how some check-off dollars are being spent.  Darin VonRuden, president of the WFU, tells Pam Jahnke that they believe there's discrepancies between federal guidelines on how money is to be spent versus how it ends up being used.  They're meeting on the subject Wednesday.

This weekend temps will soar into the mid 80's.  That's going to put stress on livestock.  Joel Roltgen, Focus on Energy Advisor, speaks with Pam Jahnke about rebates available for tuning up those barn fans and making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently this summer.  Paid for by Focus on Energy/CESA.
