Wisconsin Soybean Donation Helps Fight Fitchburg Fires

During the Compeer Financial Ag Weather Update, Ag Meteorologist Stu Muck says we can expect a few rain showers before we see warmer weather.

Stephanie Hoff visits with two council graduates today about how this program is a backstage pass to the world of ag policy and career networking. Mary Schrieber and Jescey Thompson are both now college students after successful stints in the FFA. Mary, originally from East Troy, was a National FFA Vice President. Jescey, who calls Ettrick home, was a Wisconsin State FFA President. Their career interests started in high school, when they saw the opportunity to apply for the Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council.

Pam Jahnke talks land auctions with the Steffes Group.

Kiley catches up with Matt Crimmins. He tells us about the importance of livestock identification in the meat processing industry. 

At the WPS Farm Show Ben Jarboe has a lot of fun learning about some of the new technology on the market. He talked to Justin Premo about the realities of upgrading equipment on the farm.

Free Admission For Last Day Of WPS Farm Show

Kiley Allan visits with Extension Conservation and Nutrient Specialist Kevin Erb about manure handling safety. Did you know over half of manure-handling accidents occur on the road? More than half of those accidents happen at intersections because of speed, taking corners too sharply, or failing to account for the liquid sloshing in the tank.


Ag meteorologist Stu Muck says showers and a cool front are expected today before we get back to a warm, dry weekend. April showers are expected next week.

The Wisconsin Soybean Program has donated an innovative, PFAS-free firefighting foam to the Fitchburg Fire Department. Ben Jarboe talks to Director Jonathon Gibbs and Fire Chief Scott Sarver about the safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemicals.


Katie Burgess, a dairy broker and analyst with Ever.Ag, says recent reports indicate that U.S. cow numbers have reached their highest levels since the early 1990s, yet dairy markets remain bolstered by a slower-than-average growth in cheese and butter inventories and strong export demand. As European cheese prices climb, the U.S. market has followed suit, pushing Class III milk prices to new life-of-contract highs for the second half of the year. This surge in pricing presents a strategic opportunity for producers to manage price risk while the market sits at these elevated levels.
