Wisconsin honey producers are wrapping up their season by making sure their bees are prepared for the winter.  Kiley Allan visits with the current president of the WHPA, Tracy Malterer from Iron Ridge.  Malterer says the erratic weather gave beehive managers some problems throughout the year.  It's led to lower honey output overall, and continued concern over hive health through the winter.

Snow will be a part of Wisconsin's landscape by the end of the weekend.  Stu Muck details where the snow will fall and what we can expect by Monday.

Fortunately the harvest is about wrapped up in Wisconsin.  Dean Ebert, sales manager for Helena Agri in West Bend joins Pam Jahnke to focus on the information stream that's been rolling in from fields.  Ebert says that's the data that will drive decisions on next year's purchases, and he wants to help you parse it down.  Paid for by Helena Agri.

Food giant, Walmart, has announced that they'll remove about 30 food ingredients from their Great Value brand by January of 2027.  That's sent a ripple of reaction through many food companies - and that includes our artisan Wisconsin meat processors.  Dr. Jeff Sindelar, UW-Extension Meat Specialist, tells Stephanie Hoff that the goal of a "clean label" to allow consumers to understand what's in a product isn't always easy to attain.  He explains that for whole muscle cuts like pork chops and steaks, there's little processing.  However, brats, summer sausage and the like are reinventing their recipes using things like beet powder!
