Dairy farmers are wondering what will improve in 2026.  Jill Welke finds Dr. Leonard Polzin, UW-River Falls Extension Dairy Specialist, at the annual Western WI Bankers Conference.  Polzin says while world milk production stays high, producers should expect prices to stay low.

Bitterly cold wind chills will impact daily chores and travel this week around Wisconsin.  Stu Muck says it'll take until at least Wednesday before there's a break.


The antenna are up for many Wisconsin agribusinesses and farms with a large population of immigration agents in the Twin Cities.  What do farms need to do to protect their employees?  Pam Jahnke gets some pointers from Sam Moheban, immigration specialist at Ruder Ware law firm in Wausau.  Moheban says any employer should be double checking the accuracy of their mandatory I-9 forms from all employees.  After that, he recommends farms post signs, and have a plan if ICE agents show up at their farm gate.

The general public's being invited to join in the tasting fun of the World Championship Cheese event coming up March 3-4 in Madison.  Pam Jahnke shares the details.
