The governor released his executive budget on Tuesday night.  State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Jill Underly, survived a primary on Tuesday and also reacted to some budget plans.  She tells Stephanie Hoff that she's advocating for a $60 million investment in Career and Technical Education programs also known as CTEs. Wisconsin is one of six states that doesn't have ongoing funding dedicated to these programs, which include agricultural education. The money would also fund Career and Technical Student Organizations. Jill Underly says these dollars were a priority for her in the Department of Public Instruction budget proposal. She says she sees the value in investing in ag education and other CTE programs as both of her children are members in FFA.

Ashley Huhn with the Steffes Group tells Pam Jahnke that they're picking up momentum in Wisconsin with some key sales slated before March.  Paid for by Steffes Group.

Senator Howard Marklein, co-chair of the Joint Finance Committee reacts to the governor's proposed budget.  Marklein says he's open to funding for farmer-led watershed projects.


Are you still shopping for groceries the same way?  During the pandemic many people opted to use delivery services or apps to secure their groceries.  Has that changed how beef moves to consumers?  Angie Horkan, marketing director with the WI Beef Council, says new research shows that e-commerce sales of beef are at a high not seen in the past 27 years.  Paid for by Equity Cooperative Livestock.
