You can travel thousands of miles and see different terrain, but still find yourself in a conversation that feels like "home".  Pam Jahnke shares some comments from Rhys Lougher from Ty Tanglwyst dairy in Wales.  Lougher, his brother and father operate the dairy.  It includes not only providing milk to the general public, but also top end genetics to area dairy farms that may be rebuilding after suffering losses from bovine tuberculosis.  Ty Tanglwyst was one of the agriculture stops on the recent farm tour of England and Wales.

We've got some hit and miss chances at sunshine this week.  Stu Muck says today the wind will catch your attention.

Turning tragedy into something positive isn't easy.  Carol Anderson, program director with Rural Minds, says that's how their organization started.  After losing a family member in a farm suicide the family decided to focus energy on mental health challenges in rural communities.  Ben Jarboe visits with Anderson about the stigma they're trying to break in rural communities surrounding mental health.  Anderson says many people raised on a farm or in a rural community are taught to keep mental health challenges to themselves.  They're trying to break that stigma without duplicating services already being provided by others.

Wisconsin DNR will be accepting applications for the next class of conservation wardens.  Pam Jahnke also reports that two industry leaders will be inducted into the WI Meat Industry Hall of Fame this Thursday.  Dr. Dan Schafer and Steve Van Laanen.

Spring planting is just around the corner and so is lawn and garden work.  Knowing what weather you'll be dealing with is critical.  That weather forecast you depend on, depends on you!  Kiley Allan visits with Richard Janke a Citizen Scientist that volunteers with the National Weather Service as a rainfall reporter.  He explains that he's been doing this for the past 4 years.  Janke says the process is simple and he finds reward in how his information plays a role in the bigger forecast that NWS releases.
