Joanna connected with Woldt Farms in Brillion, Wisconsin and talked with Jeff Evenson, dairy manager at Woldt Farms, and he shared how green chopping has been a game changer on their farm. He noticed the cows eating 2 pounds less of dry matter per cow and increased milk production of 2-3 pounds per cow. They also saw a 3/10 of a point increase in butterfat.  Jeff shares about when they started this adventure, species mix in the field and what cows eat the green chop.

This week we look at some cockroaches and go into some facts about why they actually aren't great to have around. AND of course, a little myth-busting as well.    Patreon -> https://www.patreon.com/user?u=46499107 IG: https://www.instagram.com/insects4fun/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085443614825 Email: Insectsfordummies@gmail.com     Music provided by Lofi Girl with featured artist: Brillion, Softy, Squeeda, No one's perfect.   Transcript:    Welcome back everyone to episode 61 of insects for fun! The weekly entomology podcast hosted by your not so local entomologist. Before we dive in, if you're a fan of the podcast, make sure to rate it and leave a review if you can on whatever platform you listen! It's real easy to do and the impact is incredible! We are almost at 50 ratings on Spotify and 20 ratings and reviews on apple which are the only ones I can really check to be honest, but the current goal is to get those numbers to 100! And if I'm being real, we could have done that a long time ago based on followers alone (sfx)   It's spooky season and this week we are going to talk about roaches because why not! They're totally spooky to many including myself, and there is a lot of information out there that most people just have no idea about. So this episode we are going to tackle all things roach and get to the bottom as to what's scary about them and what isn't!    Cockroaches belong to the order Blattodea of which there are 4,600 species! Yeah, that's a lot, and they're all pretty different. In fact humans only really come into contact without about 30 of those and if you happen to be a US citizen it's much less, but simply telling you this isn't gonna change how you feel so we're gonna move along. Now when it comes to the roaches that we most often see and deal with, those would be the German roach and the brown banded roach. These are the only two domestic roaches, which means they live exclusively in our living quarters and they've actually been living with us since we were living in caves. Now fortunately or unfortunately, they are also on the smaller side so they don't really make big flashy appearances. I'll be putting the pictures up on the instagram page so you guys can see them.    Let's start our episode with the german roach. This small light brown roach with dark bands on its head happens to be the most common roach and is found throughout the entire world. Its place of origin however is not Germany… You see this roach started its journey in Borneo, which is a tropical island in the south china sea. They were just doing their thing within caves for thousands of years when people started storing peppercorns for spice trades in the 1600s. I think you can probably guess what happened next.. Fast Forward to today and now we have these annoying critters everywhere, but it wasn't just the food that was necessary for their survival. Their populations actually exploded only after plumbing got introduced around the world, and they happen to love kitchens and bathrooms. A german roach can actually last for 12 days without food and water but with access to water they can live up to 42 days without food. Of course german roaches do prefer having food and they mostly stay near it in kitchens or cupboards etc. These ones, like most indoor roaches, are active at night and early morning before sunrise. You might not see them often but one way to know you have them is if you see small pepper-like droppings around. Unfortunately German roaches are on the faster side when it comes to reproducing, and a female roach can lay up to 8 oothecas in her life with each one carrying up to 48 eggs. They actually carry these around too until right before they hatch. Now I know you want to know how to get rid of them, and I will tell you of course! But before that I want to share some information about the 2nd domestic roach.    The brown banded roach is another small roach that honestly looks pretty similar to the german roach, at least when it comes to males. The females have a different body shape with brown bands on the abdomen, and the nymphs also have these brown bands. These roaches used to be incredibly common but these days they aren't so much. It's believed that air conditions have sort of ruined housing for them by making the environment too cool because these guys prefer much warmer temperatures and are actually believed to come from Africa. They are now found across the world thanks to US troops from world war 2, but again they aren't too common. I don't think I've ever seen one, but I know for a fact I've seen german roaches, even here in Japan. Now unlike German roaches, the brown banded ones do not spend the majority of their time near food. In fact another name for these is furniture roach because they can be found anywhere with furniture such as living rooms, bedrooms, and even behind framed pictures on walls. The brown banded roach prefers to stay at higher elevations with their oothecas being found in the upper 3rd of wall spaces. A brown banded female can lay up to 13 of these in her life, but each one only has up to 18 eggs. Also yes, ootheca is also the term used for mantis egg cases! Turns out roaches and mantids aren't actually that different, but I'm gonna tell you about that later.    So now I've mentioned the two domestic roaches and here's why you don't actually want them in your home. Roaches are actually a source of allergen and cause asthmatic symptoms or even asthma attacks in people who are sensitive. In fact according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, roach allergens are one of the most common! Yikes… you'd never notice them either because they just kinda sit still with dust until it gets stirred up when cleaning or moving furniture etc. What's scarier is that 78% to 98% of urban homes within America have between 900 and 330,000 roaches. Yeah that's a very wide spread but uh having 900 being the lower number is still terrifying! The problem with urban roaches is that they are not clean like farm raised roaches, and yes people definitely farm roaches for their pets. My younger brother has bins filled with dubia roaches which get fed fruits, vegetables and protein powder. Now I personally don't fear those at all because I know where they came from and they aren't disease ridden, but I wouldn't trust any roach that comes crawling out of a drain or into your house from the streets because they're able to live in the worst of environments. In fact roaches can carry and harbor E. coli, Strep throat bacteria, Pneumonia, Salmonella etc. But I think I've traumatized us all enough for the time being, so let's look at what we can do to get rid of house roaches!    The first and easiest thing to do if you suspect to have or have seen roaches in your home is to clean! Make sure your floors don't have crumbs which isn't hard if you have a dog, keep your kitchen surfaces clean, don't leave food in your sinks, and keep everything sealed tight. It's also recommended to keep your indoor humidity levels low but I think most people are trying to do that anyway. Next it's time to trap and vacuum any roaches you find, but to be honest I wouldn't count vacuuming as the end all solution unless you filled your vacuum with bleach or alcohol because roaches are crafty creatures, and if there is a way out they will find it.    Now if you happen to have roaches in your home and you're looking for a way to lure them out and trap them then have no fear! It's totally possible to do so.    The first method would be to use Diatomaceous Earth which is a dehydrating powder created from fossilized algae. You basically wanna sprinkle this in areas with known roach activity and it will dehydrate them to death. The only downside is it's kind of messy and requires you to pick up dead roaches which could really die anywhere.    If you are more interested in knowing exactly where those roaches are then it might be a good idea to set up traps. One really good method for collecting roaches would be using boric acid or even baking soda. If you go the baking soda route you wanna take some food, like diced up onions or something else that roaches will want and cover it with baking soda. You wanna leave this out in areas where you suspect there are roaches, but this of course means you need to make sure your animals won't try eating this either. I would keep your pets safely in another room the night you do this or place the trap in an area where your animals can't access like under your sink in a cabinet or something.    Using boric acid is similar but instead you'll want a paper plate with a lure in the center like peanut butter and then sprinkle the boric acid around the lure on the plate so the insects are guaranteed to touch it. Again I don't recommend doing this in an open area accessible to pets like dogs or cats. Boric acid targets a roaches nervous system while baking soda makes them explode from the inside… lovely I know, but hey, that's why I'm not in the pest control business.    Moving along to the non domestic roaches comes the most well known roach and that would be the American Cockroach. These are called peridomestic because they live around humans but don't rely on them, but they don't actually come from America. I don't know who's naming these things but they clearly don't care about geography. American roaches actually come from Africa and were introduced into America via ships in the 1600s similar to the German Roaches. These ones usually invade our homes through pipes, or cracks in infrastructure. I've actually seen terrifying videos where swarms of American roaches come running out kitchen sinks. That's definitely not normal though and it probably means there was a massive sewage break or flood nearby which was making them all flee the underground. Either way it's clearly a bad sign and you can expect something terrible. The american roaches are actually less likely to be in your home than they are in restaurants or other service industry places and the reason is simply that there is more accessible food around. When I worked at Gyu Kaku in Hawaii which is a Japanese chain for all-you-can eat meats, I would always see American roaches in the kitchen looking for scraps on the floor in dark corners or underneath storage bins while cleaning. You really can't escape them in urban areas. That being said I should also mention that roaches in general do not like light so if you're scared of seeing one or don't want to risk having them near you at night you can simply leave a light on. It's a waste of electricity but hey, it'll give you some peace of mind I guess. Actually here's a fun fact for you, the name cockroach comes from the spanish word for them “cucaracha” which was derived from the latin word blatta meaning insect that shuns the light!   So earlier I mentioned that roaches and mantids aren't all that different and here's why. The ancestors of roaches roamed the earth around 320 million years ago, placing them in the Carboniferous period. This time period is characterized by having swamps with large ferns, Fern trees, horsetail trees, fish, amphibians, and giant arthropods. The ancestor to cockroaches was actually 3 feet in length and that wasn't anything extraordinary either. Now it just so happens that this ancestral roach also happens to be the common ancestor to Mantids and Termites as well. In fact all three of them are in the same super order Dictyoptera and mantids separated from roaches around 127 million years ago in the cretaceous period when a new proto-roach evolved with raptorial arms. Termites separated around this time as well. So yeah, you can thank cockroaches for the mantids and termites. And really, not all cockroaches are bad. There are plenty of cool ones out there as well like the madagascar hissing roaches, sky blue roaches in Guyana and Emerald roaches in Vietnam. I know for a fact that Hissing roaches and emerald roaches are sold and kept as pets with the emerald roaches fetching a high price, but I'm not sure about the sky blue ones.    Now Let's get into the myths and facts regarding cockroaches because I think a lot of us have heard quite a few.    One of the most commonly spread rumors is that roaches can live without their heads, and this is actually true! To an extent, if a roach loses its head it can still walk around and breathe, but it's not going to live a normal life. It's going to starve to death because it now has no way of eating or drinking.    Another big myth is that roaches will release their babies if you step on them. This is not a given scenario at all, and if you do step on a pregnant one, you can be sure those eggs are now scrambled. HOWEVER if you only crush the upper half of the roach and an ootheca comes out then those might still be viable (bleck)    Here's a fun one, Cockroaches can survive microwaves! And uh yeah they can! Actually cockroaches don't go through nearly as many cell divisions as we do, and because the rate at which they do is slower, they can withstand up to 125% more radiation than other animals. Can they survive a nuclear bomb? No… but they'll last longer than we would in the aftermath.    Okay here's a good one, Roaches only live in dirty homes. This is false! You can have a home that is spotless and still have roaches living in it. They'll even resort to eating bar soap if you have nothing else available.  This wraps up today's topic, but we're not quite finished! I'm going to share with you a piece of this month's bonus episode available on Patreon because it really is a different flavor from the mainline content, and I go into much broader topics. Here's a clip.  There's plenty more where that came from on Patreon.com/insects for fun.

This week we look at a very special giant silkmoth that comes from North America (Luna moths). The species is incredibly iconic, and there are many different meanings for it across various cultures. The best part is you can also raise them relatively easily as a pet!    Patreon -> https://www.patreon.com/user?u=46499107 IG: https://www.instagram.com/insects4fun/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085443614825 Email: Insectsfordummies@gmail.com     Music provided by Lofi Girl with featured artist: Brillion.    Transcription:    Welcome back to episode 60 of Insects for fun! I wonder what we should do for episode 100… I've also been thinking of adding other arthropods into the mix. What do y'all think? Let me know in the comments section either on IG, FB or in your podcast player. Also when this episode is released I'll be on a flight back to Japan from the states, so I'm currently writing this weeks in advance. Recently we have had some moon viewing stuff going on in Japan, and I figure what better time than to talk about one of my favorite moths, the Luna moth.    Lunas are in the giant silkmoth family Saturniidae and the genus is Actias. There are actually quite a few species of moon moths in this genus, but not all of them are green like the well known luna. Fortunately in Japan the two different species we have are quite similar to the luna, and I'll be trying my hand at raising one of them next summer.    Actias luna have large and gorgeous pastel green wings with big fluffy white bodies, and one eye mark per wing. The wingspan can reach 5 inches across and also have long tails which only further adds to their celestial appearance. The name Luna is actually in reference to the roman moon goddess Luna, but this was not always their name! The initial name for these was actually plumata caudata which translates to feather tail, and these moths were the first American giant silk moths to be documented in literature. The name was later changed by Linnaeus in 1758. There are actually quite a few giant silk moths with mythological names like Polyphemus, Prometheus and Atlas for example, but the majority of them are brown or a variation of it. The Luna moth can only be found in North America, and not even the entire continent either. These moths chose a side and thankfully for me it was the east! You can find lunas from Canada down to Florida but they stay east of the great plains, and in Canada they're found from southern Saskatchewan to Nova Scotia. I'll never forget the first time I saw one, and thankfully finding them doesn't seem to be all that difficult if you know where to go.    Luna moths are quite partial to forested areas but what kind of plants they eat is dependent on their geographical location. For example the caterpillars we have in Vermont love eating Birch, but I've also been successful at raising them on black walnut as well. Other common hosts include Butternut, Sumac, Sweetgum in the south, Alder, Beech, wild cherry and even persimmon. The time of year to find adult moths also varies heavily by location as well and this is because warmer weather allows them to have multiple breeding seasons unlike the northern populations. In Northern Vermont we have one generation a year and our Lunas start coming out of their cocoons in late May. In the south it's not uncommon to have 2 or three generations in a year depending on the state. Massachusetts for example is right under VT but can have a partial 2nd generation.    The caterpillars are also an incredible green, and they can get pretty big. The 5th and last molt reaches a size up to 3inches or 7.5 cm and has red dots sprinkled over its back. What's unique to these compared to other giant silkmoths is that the entire caterpillar actually turns red right before it begins making a cocoon. At least that's been my experience but I've also read that some of them turn brown or orange as well. But it's not the color or the ability to change colors that makes Luna moths interesting or the moths in the genus Actias. It's actually the tails on their wings that have attracted a lot of attention. Some species in the genus actias have tails on their wings that reach 12cm in length, and that's just the tail section! I can't tell you these are the only moths with long tails on their wings but I can definitely say they are one of a handful, and the reason they have these tails is to protect them from bat attacks! Bat's rely on echolocation to find their prey, and it's one of the reasons why they fly in close quarters to people fishing in the evening. The sounds bouncing off the water from lures being whipped draws them in which can be intimidating I gotta say, and the tails on moon moths disrupt the air waves in a way that confuses bats into missing the body of the moths entirely. In fact studies found that Brown bats are near 50% more successful at hunting lunas when their tails are missing. The tails on these moths are never straight either. At the very base of these tails the wing has a slight curve which catches air in a way that changes the source location of their sounds. For example a moth with no tails is essentially a flying target because the sound originates from the body, but a moth with the tails has its sound point from further below the main body.    Some people had previously questioned whether the tails were used for attracting a mate but uh ima be real with you. These moths could not care less about what their partner looks like. Some of them are so blind that they try to mate with anything. And that brings me to my second point. The female luna moths like all saturniidae release a pheromone to lure males, and half the time aren't even looking in the direction of where males are flying in from. The males have to initiate everything after the female starts calling, so whether or not she lays fertile eggs is dependent on the health or age of the male as well as how closely related they are. Generally speaking the moths have different times of day when they start flying based on gender which is a form of control against inbreeding. Some males won't even recognize their siblings' pheromones.    Now because luna moths are relatively famous as far as insects go, there are cultural and spiritual meanings tied to the moth. One super simple one is transformation and rebirth but that's like a copout meaning given to any insect with relevance that has multiple life stages so we aren't gonna focus on that. The other meanings though have more to do specifically with the luna moth like inner guidance and intuition. I don't know much about chakras but I guess a soft green color is supposed to represent the heart chakra and is connected to our ability to connect to our inner wisdom, and instincts. The other meaning which I really like connected to these moths is divine femininity. Its gentle temperament and grace links to compassion and intuition often associated with a woman's instincts.    In some native american folklore the luna moth is associated with rebirth and spiritual guidance. Similarly in celtic mythology the luna moth is associated with the fae, and is seen as a symbol of rebirth and magic. It really does seem that throughout the world and history these moths have held a special place in the eye of those who see it.  If you would like to raise luna moths it is totally possible to get eggs or cocoons. Especially if you live in the United States, but people can order eggs and cocoons from the US in other countries as well. You just have to be mindful of the host plants you have around. If you simply google luna moth eggs or cocoons for sale you find many different people willing to sell and ship you these insects. They're also sometimes used in elementary schools as a fun classroom pet to showcase metamorphosis. If you want the cocoons to stay dormant during the winter it's important that you make sure the insects came from natural conditions. The amount of light they received as a caterpillar dictates whether or not they are going to diapause or sleep during the colder months, and it's also important that you leave the cocoons outside. They need to stay synced to the natural temperatures and humidity of their environment. Some people put them in the fridge but if you do this the container needs to be air tight because they will 100% dry out and die otherwise. They don't require much oxygen at all while they are in this state of sleep, but if you're concerned you can open the container and give them a slight misting before putting them back in the fridge. Too much water and they will suffocate or get moldy. Also if you live in a colder climate I definitely recommend finding a vendor who lives in a similar place. You don't want souther cocoons coming out early on you.    This concludes today's episode on Luna moths!

Culture. It's how your employees feel in the pit of their stomach on Sunday night about coming in to work for you on Monday morning. On a recent visit to Shiloh Dairy in Brillion, Wisconsin, the winning culture was clear: There was a party in the parlor. Milkers were smiling and striking a pose for pictures. The employees were happy to be there, and having fun. So I just had to sit down with the owner and manager of this dairy, our friend Travis Speirs, to find out how he was making this happen, all while growing from 2,400 to 2,900 cows, and transitioning in his own role from being with the cows every day, to spending more time in the business and operations management chair, as his father Gordon steps back from the day-to-day operations and decisions. Now Travis will be the first to say, culture at Shiloh Dairy is constantly evolving, and not every day is a party in the parlor, but there are a few high-impact actions that are leading to results like low turnover and a waiting list to work at Shiloh Dairy.

This week I wanted to showcase an incredible family of moths that are known to mimic a variety of bees and wasps depending on the genera and species. It's not just their looks that are incredibly accurate though. It's the behaviors as well!    Support the show -> https://www.patreon.com/user?u=46499107  IG: https://www.instagram.com/insects4fun/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085443614825 Email: Insectsfordummies@gmail.com   Music supported by Lofi Girl with featured artists: Brillion, HM Surf, Tom Doolie, and Dimensions 32  Transcript: Welcome everyone to episode 57 of Insects for Fun! The weekly entomology podcast covering all kinds of interesting things in the world of entomology. Today we are doing a deep dive into clear wing moths, which are quite possibly the best wasp mimics I have ever seen.    Let's start with the basics, as we always do. Clearwing moths belong to the family sesiidae, of which there are around 165 genera, and over 1,525 species in the world. There are other families, but we're just gonna focus on this one today and to be honest it has way more species than I was expecting. That being said it's time for a quick disclaimer! I just wanna quickly remind everyone that when we dive into families that are this size, it becomes increasingly difficult to say that any one characteristic can be found within each individual. So just remember, every species is gonna be a bit different!    Alright so we have this family of moths called clearwings, but what's so special about them? Well! These moths are daytime fliers for one, and are known for their incredible wasp mimicry. And let's not forget those clear wings for which they're named. You see these incredible creatures have evolved to mimic a variety of different wasp species. I'm talking about everything from yellow jackets to parasitoids, and the mimicry doesn't stop at their looks. Even the flight and sounds they produce can resemble wasps, making them scary to many people who don't even know they exist. This kind of mimicry is called batesian mimicry which is when animals that don't have any special defenses of their own mimic ones that do in an effort to protect themselves. I suppose you could say that the ability to mimic something scary is a special defense although once you see through the bluff they're in trouble. This is again one of those times when I strongly suggest you check out the instagram or fb pages because I'll be posting images of different species, and they really are incredible.    For starters the wings aren't just clear but also shaped to look like wasps with most being more slender and triangular in appearance, and as I mentioned earlier there are species which evolved to sound like the wasps and bees they mimic. This is particularly known to be the case for southeast asian species of which two were tested acoustically and found to produce sounds very similar to the bees they mimic, but different from other bees. I just can't get over how these moths have evolved to strictly mimic individual bee and wasp species as opposed to being more general. Here's an audio clip of their buzzing:    In 2020 Thailand a new genus and species was discovered which mimics a type of parasitoid called a braconidae. Unlike other mimics which rely on colors and body shapes, this one has marks on its wings which in flight make the body appear curved in the same way as a braconid wasp. Pretty crafty I gotta say. I'll put a picture on the IG and FB pages.    Now on the other side of the spectrum there is a wasp mimic moth found in central and south america which does such an insanely detailed job that it left me staring for longer than I should have. The species is called Pseudosphex laticincta and I'm gonna put the image up of this one next to the wasp it mimics as well because man or man it is incredible.    Moving along to other incredible things, the caterpillars for sesiidae moths do not feed on the leaves of plants in the same way other caterpillars do. They don't even look like caterpillars (huh) the moths lay their eggs on host plants but the caterpillars then burrow directly into the plants, and are never seen again… until they come out of course. But yeah seriously the caterpillars don't have color, and barely have any legs either. Some of them honestly look like wasp larvae which again is truly wild. How can something in a separate order of insects evolve to look so similar! It's not like these moths had a conference one day (conference noises) and said you know what? Things aren't working out for us, but those wasps? They seem to have it good, so let's just cosplay as those guys from now on.    Actually in the most recent bonus episodes available on Patreon I do dive into something which could very well explain this phenomenon, and my patrons might actually know exactly what I'm talking about if they're up to date, but enough about that, let's see just how similar these moths take their mimicry…    So we have these caterpillars that don't really look like caterpillars, and they seem to feed on wood, roots, and other internal plant structures which again is not what your average caterpillar does, but this type of behavior is known within wasp and bee species so that's another point for towards professional mimicry. As for how long it takes to complete a life cycle, that varies on the species, but most of them take 1 year to fully develop.   The larvae are actually well known pests to gardeners and people who work in landscaping, as well as forest management. The reason is simply that the larvae often damage the plants that they infest by weakening them to the point of losing branches or even death. Although any plant which has been heavily infested by clearwing caterpillars must have been weakened already by other factors because the caterpillars alone shouldn't be enough to kill a tree. People in integrated pest management commonly abbreviated as IPM refer to these caterpillars as clearwing borers, and the standard protocols are to first make sure the problem is actually clearwing borers. Many insects will bore into trees, especially beetles, and the treatments differ depending on the insect. Common host trees include but are not limited to Alders, Poplars, Pine, Fir, Oak, Sycamore, Willow and stone fruit trees like apricot, cherry, peach and plum. Signs of borers inside a tree are gnarled or rough looking bark patches, swelling on branches, piles of dust and waste outside a tree, and pupal cases poking out of the bark. The hallmark for clearwing borers specifically would be the pupal cases.    There are other moths with clearwings by the way which cannot be mistaken for wasps, like hummingbird moths for example, and I will definitely do an entire episode on those in the future.    Before we wrap up the episode I want to quickly go into one particular species which got my attention and started this entire episode. That would be the hornet moth sesia apiformis which can be found across Europe and in Britain. It's not often we find ourselves in Europe or the UK on this podcast, but that doesn't mean I don't notice what's there! (notice me senpai). Anyway this large hornet looking moth can be found in parks, meadows, golf courses, marshes, basically anywhere really, and they prefer laying eggs on trees surrounded by vegetation.    This moth is really cute despite being a mimic to the European hornet, and the females act pretty similar to a giant silkmoth meaning they're pretty docile and won't fly until after they've mated. I'll of course post a picture of this one too.    The larvae for these moths feed in the roots of trees unlike the others we've mentioned so far, and can spend up to 2 years before pupating. Our UK listeners can probably testify that the weather isn't exactly ideal over there most of the time, with summers historically being pretty short, and as a result the larva have been known to grow slower than others.    When the caterpillars do finally make their pupae it is within the tree and these ones are one of few within the family to create a cocoon. Inside this cocoon holds the pupa which for this species are lined with rings of small spines. The spines on these pupae cling to walls of the hole they bore in the tree's trunk and create a grip which the pupae use to wriggle their way out in mid June or July.    The moth was introduced into New England before 1880 and can be found in the northeastern parts of North America with detailed records around Ontario, Canada.    And with that, this wraps up today's episode on the clearwings moths in the family sesiidae. As always I hope you enjoyed it and learned something interesting! If you are enjoying the podcast it is highly appreciated if you drop a review and rating on whatever platform you listen. It helps me know if I'm doing a good job and is social proof to people who aren't sure if they wanna press play or not.    If you would like to support the show you can find it on patreon.com/insects for fun!

Ana and Eric welcome Discover Wisconsin producer Jessica Voukoun into The Cabin to share some details involving outdoor fun in Calumet County, which is tucked along the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago. Since the Interstates swing people well to the west or east of the county, many travelers accidentally bypass the area - but here are some great reasons to follow the roads into Calumet County - like U.S. 10, U.S. 151, or Highways 32 and 57 - and dive into all that awaits here. The focus is the outdoors, with High Cliff State Park above Lake Winnebago getting the full love for its topography, views, and trails. Calumet County Park is also on Lake Winnebago further south, offering a variety of summer and winter outdoor activities, including a tubing hill and fat tire biking on groomed trails. If you're into boating, Calumet County has two marinas where you can drop anchor, including High Cliff and Stockbridge. Nature and wildlife centers offer plenty of opportunities to learn, exercise, and take in Mother Nature. We discuss the merits of Ledgeview Nature Center south of Chilton, the Brillion Nature Center near (you guessed it) Brillion, and the interestingly-named Killsnake Wildlife Area. Along with more lakes and trails, Eric, Ana, and Jessica discuss farms and orchards including Mulberry Lane Farm & Petting Zoo, Heritage Orchard, and Polly's Pumpkin Patch where you can visit, learn, enjoy, and take home some of nature's best offerings. You can also enjoy motocross and ATV riding at Gravity Park USA or Farm Country ATV Park, or kick back and enjoy a flick under the stars at the Chilton Twilight Outdoor Theater. We cap it off with a discussion about the new and amazing Ariens Nordic Center, checking in with GM Sean Becker to find out all it has to offer in all seasons. The options are many for outdoor fun in Calumet County; get all the details here! Find out even more about Calumet County and its many things to enjoy here:Instagram: @travelcalumetFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TravelCalumetYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@travelcalumet3370https://www.travelcalumet.com

The family-owned Wisconsin company Ariens is known worldwide as the King of Snow for its reliable, hard-working snow blowers. After an introduction to biathlon at Ruhpolding, President Dan Ariens was hooked! The U.S. Biathlon sponsor has gone all in on the sport, not only supporting the team but in building the new Ariens Nordic Center in its home of Brillion, Wis. Heartbeat is joined by Managing Director Monica Ariens and Nordic Center General Manager Sean Becker for an insightful look at the new facility in eastern Wisconsin.The Ariens Nordic Center is located adjacent to Round Lake Farms on 200 acres at the outskirts of Brillion. It includes a year-round trail network for recreation, training and competition for cross country skiing, biathlon, roller skiing, running, hiking, and more. The facility, which opened for the 2022-23 season, is open to the public and includes lighting, snowmaking, a paved roller-ski loop for off-season training, a pond for snowmaking and a 20-point biathlon range.The project was several years in the making under former U.S. Biathlon President Max Cobb, with trail design by John Morton. “I've designed 12 of these kinds of venues around the world,” said Morton, Owner, Morton Trails. “But I think this facility is going to have the most significant positive impact on the community and the region of any of the projects I've done.”The new Ariens Nordic Center has really caught the attention of U.S. Biathlon stars Deedra Irwin and Paul Schommer, both of whom grew up just a short distance away and have visited the facility for groundbreakings and grand openings.“It takes a lot of people to help build a dream like this,” said Irwin. “I hope to show people you can come from a small farm community in the middle of nowhere and you can make it onto the world stage and live your dreams as a professional athlete or whatever those dreams may be. This venue is going to be really amazing for the nordic teams from one hour, two hours, even three hours away. You'll see the U.S. Biathlon Team here a lot too. I'm excited to show our team where we came from. We'll show them our beautiful cows.”“To see the Ariens family producing and creating this type of venue that will not only introduce kids to the sports of biathlon and cross-country skiing but who will also have the opportunity to train here at a very high level, it's exciting," said Schommer. "I'm hopeful we're going to see more Olympians coming out of this part of the country.”Click for more information on the Ariens Nordic Center.

Moses murders an Egyptian and then flees—that's a pretty straightforward story we learn early on in the Bible, right?Well, maybe it's not so cut and dried. Dr. Bruce Becker looks at the argument that it wasn't murder as he unpacks both perspectives: Did Moses or didn't Moses commit murder? In this journey, we see how wide the spectrum is in the Hebrew language for the words meaning "to kill" or "to beat." We also learn how the New Testament gives us additional insight into Moses' actions and thought processes.

For starters, Bible scholars can't even agree on how many times it shows up in Scripture.We know of the more common accounts in the Bible (7 days of creation, God rested on the 7th day, 7 pairs of clean animals brought onto the ark, 7 churches in the book of Revelation).

On the fourth day, God created the sun, moon, and stars. That's simple enough to remember and understand, right? God created the lights to govern days and nights.

The number 1 shows up more than 2,500 times in the Bible. It describes people, places, and things. But it also holds much deeper meaning—there are six key phrases that signify the two most important things about God. In this second episode of the "By the Numbers" series, Dr. Bruce Becker gives us an in-depth look at the number 1. Dr. Becker also challenges us to memorize one all-encompassing verse (he'll teach it to you in Hebrew too, if you'd like!) and shows us why Number 1 is ultimately God's number.

Where did numbers come from? What are they, and what do they represent? Most important, what do they tell us about our God who created the universe? Numbers can seem simple on the surface: 2 + 2 = 4. But that simple addition has so much more complexity to it. Not only are numbers the building blocks of math—which are the building blocks of technology, science, and pretty much everything in the universe—they were a part of God's creation. In this first episode of the new "By the Numbers" series, Dr. Bruce Becker helps us understand how numbers were always a part of God's beautiful creation and can be seen everywhere—from honeycombs, to pineapples, to the eyes of dragonflies, and so much more. We'll see just how numbers give us a small glimpse into the mind of our God. About our podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker": The Bible can be intimidating, right?

There's an estimated 1 septillion stars in the universe (that's 100 billion stars in our Milky Way times 100 billion galaxies in the universe). But even more amazing, God knows the exact number of stars and gave each of them a name (Psalm 147:4). Dr. Bruce Becker won't look at all 1 septillion stars in this episode, but he will explore how the Bible talks about stars, stars as metaphors, the stars' relationship with God's people, stars' significance during the end times, and a special star that the Bible appears to use in a contradictory manner. Through this deep dive, we'll see how the stars and universe testify to God's greatness and power. This is the last episode this summer. Dr. Becker will return this fall with a new "Bible Threads" series looking at how different numbers are used in the Bible, along with their significance and symbolism.

God must love singing because of the number of songs in the Bible. So how many songs are in the Bible? (If you know that the book of Psalms is all songs, you can guess that there are at least 150 songs!) But more important than the number of songs in the Bible, we need to ask: Why are there songs, and what's their significance? Join Dr. Bruce Becker for another deep dive into the Bible. Dr. Becker explains how we can't understand the songs in the Bible without first understanding poetry. But not just any poetry—Hebrew poetry. It is very different from the English poetry we're familiar with. By understanding the songs of the Bible, we can experience the power and love of God. About our podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker": The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God's truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy.

Learn just how many words there are for "donkey" in Hebrew and Greek (more than you think!), why the kings of Israel preferred donkeys and mules over horses, some interesting facts about donkey milk (yep, there's such a thing as donkey milk), and what an Old Testament talking donkey and prophetic New Testament donkey have in common that still affects you today.

Angels. They're not the cute chubby cupids or winged glowing figures in white robes that we tend to think of. They are so much more.

Dr. Bruce Becker continues the exploration of mountains in the Bible with Part 2 of the Mountains story line. Today's mountains include not just big mountains where big things happened but also a mountain that moved and one you won't find on a map! There are 35 mountains named in the Bible, with almost all of them in the Old Testament. But the significance isn't on just the mountains themselves. Instead, it's what happened at these mountains that has great impact today. Through this study of seeing big things happen on big mountains, we'll discover the intersection of the things of God and the things of this world. Dr. Becker mentioned Time of Grace video devotions that have also explored mountains. You can view them here: – A look at the life of Noah: https://bit.ly/3dDndnF – The Israelites in the wilderness.
