Up And Down Yields - Andy Grebner

Inspiring young minds about their future role in agriculture and food production is part of the motivation behind the World Food Prize.   Kara Henderlight is the Student Outreach Coordinator for CALS that's coordinating their outreach for the World Food Prize and Wisconsin Youth Institute.  She explains what it is and why youth should give it a look.

Windy!  Dangerously windy!  Stu Muck says Wisconsin is already populated with high wind advisories and soon it will involve mixed precipitation.

Potato chips, french fries or a big baked spud.  If you see it today, be reminded that the Wisconsin potato producer that put it there is losing money.  Stephanie Hoff tells us that Mike Weinkle, COO of the National Potato Council is on the job to try and change that trend.  Weinkle says they're working on everything from nutrition labeling issues to market access to help better those spud prices.  Stephanie Hoff reports.


While the war in Iran rages, connecting the dots on disruptions in dairy marketing continues.  Bryce Windecker, dairyman himself and dairy analyst with EverAg says that the Middle East has turned into a bigger and brighter dairy market than ever before - until the war.  Windecker says that the Saudia Arabia had been capitalizing on U.S.  prices and purchasing a lot of butter and cheese.  Now that dairy product is having a difficult time finding its way to the buyer.  As prices go down, he says other major marketplaces like Mexico are moving their buying chairs to cheaper competitors versus the U.S.

War Disrupts Dairy Product Movement - Windecker

Marathon county is excited to host the "Alice in Dairyland" finals for the first time in decades.  The county has been part of the educational experience for the current Alice, Sarah Hagenow, for the past year.  Pam Jahnke sits down to visit with Julie Bohr, finance committee chair for Marathon county, and Hagenow about what's unique they have to offer.

Windy and wet.  Those two words sum up what Wisconsinites can expect today.  On Tuesday Racine picked up more than an inch of rain.  Exceptionally high amount compared to the rest of the state.

Catalogs are out and interest is high for good used equipment as producers get ready for spring.  Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group just returned from a large construction equipment convention in Las Vegas and says their data showed a lot of farmers from the Midwest were in attendance.  Paid for by the Steffes Group.

Technology is all around in food and fiber production.  Kiley Allan hears from a cheesemaker in central Wisconsin that says he's wrapping his arms around technology within his cheese plant, but not losing focus on the people behind the process.
