Hosting weddings on the farm is a strategy to diversify income and protect growers from market volatility. But "wedding barns" have been limited by updated alcohol policies. Jean Bahn of Farmview Event Barn in Berlin updates Mid-West Farm Report on the lawsuit fighting the new rules. Jean says 2026 weddings are in jeopardy.

A cool front is on its way, says ag meteorologist Stu Muck.

Where does the mint in your toothpaste and chewing gum come from? Believe it or not -- Wisconsin! At Still Harvest Farm in Rock County, partners Trip Downing and DJ Waller are growing and processing peppermint just south of Janesville. The harvest is underway now, keeping them busy during the typically quieter summer months between corn and soybean seasons.

A large staff is required to successfully host an event as big as the Wisconsin State Fair. Samantha Dennis tells us about the scope of their staff and what they look for when hiring seasonal workers to handle the livestock barns, for example.

Market advisor John Heinberg of Total Farm Marketing in West Bend says no change in the latest cattle on feed and cattle inventory reports. Crop ratings are very strong, with soybeans trending exceptionally higher. The weather is excellent for crops moving forward. U.S.-China trade negotiations are going on in Stockholm.
