With a major winter storm approaching the state, it's important to know why those systems now play a role in spring weather later.  Pam Jahnke talks with Eric Snodgrass, Principal Atmospheric Scientist for Conduit.  Snodgrass admits he's a "nerd" for weather, and has been his whole life.  He explains to Jahnke why the fires in California and the snow in Florida signal a need to push "reset" with some big storms in the Midwest if we'd like to see a normal spring.

Wisconsin will see some measurable snow arriving by some time on Wednesday.  Stu Muck breaks down its advance.


School districts may have good intentions when it comes to serving locally sourced foods, but finding it is another issue.  Stephanie Hoff talks to a farmer from Oconto county who's been appointed to the Dept. of Public Instructions Farm-to-School board. David Lee Schneider is a diversified farmer from Oconto who says Wisconsin got a federal grant to build a database of farms and schools to help connect these two entities.  Now it's ready to use!  He explains how the program works.


Pam Jahnke recognizes three young people that were presented scholarships from the WI Pork Association.


John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend, says the market's watching the new round of tariff threats.  The president's advancing a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum that's got agriculture wondering how it will be impacted.  Meanwhile winter wheat is getting some support because of dry winter weather in the plains.
