The Farmers for Free Trade motorcade passed through Wisconsin last week.  The grassroots campaign is trying to focus attention at the economic damage being done to America's farmers with the loss of international markets.  Brian Kuehl is the executive director of FFFT and tells Bob Bosold it's not just about lost markets, it's also about retaliatory counter measures that impact things like machinery parts and fertilizer prices.  All items that farms need and must pay the price.

Frost warnings populate the weather forecast this morning.  It's going to feel more like winter than fall with active winds and temperatures that will struggle to get near the 50's.  Stu Muck has the chilly details.

Wisconsin Science Fest is underway across the state and it's all about engagement.  Ben Jarboe talks to George Tzougros, Executive Director Wisconsin Arts Board.  Tzougros says this year's event combines everything from technology to new innovations and inventions.  He says even in agriculture, there are unique combinations of art and science that they want the general public to understand.

The Affordable Care Act is in a precarious position and Wisconsin farm families are watching in anticipation.  Danielle Endvick, executive director of the Wisconsin Farmers Union, says that if tax benefits are continued, many farm families could face losing their insurance or seeing premiums double.

Wisconsin cheese is making its mark on the global stage. In just a few years, the number of state cheesemakers exporting their products has grown from nine to more than 30, reaching over 50 countries in 2025.DFW Board Member Mark Crave says through trade shows, retail programs, and international buyer missions, Wisconsin’s dairy checkoff is building strong connections with importers from Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. These efforts not only boost global recognition but also strengthen demand for Wisconsin milk, helping secure a stable future for the state’s dairy farmers. Paid for by Dairy Farmers of WI.
