May is Mental Health Month.  Ben Jarboe finds out what the Farm Credit System is doing to make resources available for farmers and their families. Christy Seyfert, the President and CEO of the Farm Credit Council in Washington D.C. tells him they recognize the unique struggles that farmers and their families may be facing. 

Yes, there is a chance of rain in the forecast.  Pretty good timing considering all the acres that have already been planted in Wisconsin.  Stu Muck shares the outlook.


Weather is an important issue everyday in Wisconsin.  From what you wear, to where you plant - it's part of the conversation.  Now Wisconsinites have access to a newly enhanced network of weather stations that dot the state.  Pam Jahnke takes a trip to Arlington to find out about the expansion of the Wisconet with Chris Vagasky, UW Meteorologist that's helping assemble the network.


Meanwhile eyes continue to focus on potential cuts to programs and personnel that farms may depend on.  Stephanie Hoff gets the perspective of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. NASDA, advocates for state ag agencies in Washington D.C. One of the things it's pushing for in Congress is for states to get more support to tackle animal disease outbreaks and carry out prevention measures. A primary example is testing milk for highly pathogenic avian influenza, says Becky Garrison Warfel, director of public policy for NASDA. 

Markets have cooled since the announcement that China and U.S. were relaxing tariffs.  John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend talks with Pam Jahnke about where traders' attention is focused today. Monday gave us the first glimpse of what farmers will be planting in the World Ag Supply Demand Estimates (WASDE).  Heinberg says that was the real driver on where corn and beans went Monday, and where cattle could be going this week!
