Drew Lerner is the founder and senior Agricultural Meteorologist at World Weather, Inc. He gives Jill Welke a long-term forecast for Wisconsin's autumn and winter. Drew also breaks down why we're seeing new summer weather patterns in America's Dairyland. Small rain chances won't likely amount to anything. Warmer, normal temperatures coming later in the Labor Day Weekend, says Stu Muck during the Compeer Financial Ag Weather Update. Jeremy Heim, a board member for the Wisconsin Custom Operators, has an update on demand as we start corn silage and winter wheat planting. Ben Jarboe reports on the "day in the life" of a custom operator. It may be late in the growing season, but it isn't too late to monitor crop health and adjust next year's game plan if you have to. Farmers are expecting a good corn and soybean crop, Certified Crop Specialist Jacob Getz tells Kiley Allan. "It's ours," Adam Johnson responded when asked why his family's sesquicentennial farm was unique. He adds that everyone involved in the farm's operations does so with pride. With the help of Compeer Financial, the Mid-West Farm Report is recognizing farms and homesteads that have belonged to the same family for more than 100 and 150 years. Adam is the fifth generation on what was originally known as Smaland Farm in Door County.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re heading to Airy Point Farms in St. Cloud, Wisconsin, where thousands of dahlias burst into bloom each summer. Nicole and Derek Sippel made the leap from six generations of conventional dairying into agricultural tourism -- hosting U-pick flowers, festivals, and community events. Nicole shares the challenges and opportunities of running a direct-to-consumer business, and why Dahlia Days has become a centerpiece for both beauty and community impact.

Wisconsin has a history in hemp production that dates back to 1908 when farmers started growing the crop. The state played a key role during World War II when hemp was being used for rope. Today, hemp is used in a variety of products but the key is growing a crop that meets market quality requirements. Kiley Allan visits with UW-Madison Hemp Research Program Manager, Phillip Alberti. Alberti says harvest is underway. August is the peak time for fiber hemp and early stage of grain hemp. Weather hasn't been a problem for the crop this year according to Alberti, but the humidity creates some lucrative challenges with insects. A few showers this morning, otherwise a pretty pleasant Wednesday on the way. Stu Muck says it's a dry week after that with moderate temps. Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group joins Pam Jahnke to discuss a manure handling equipment auction that's coming up. This is generally very unique and expensive equipment that buyers would have to locate in multiple locations. Ashley Huhn says this auction brings it all to one spot. Paid for by Steffes Group. Lactococcus Lactis - it's not a dirty word! It could, however, become the state microbe for Wisconsin if one state representative gets her way. Ben Jarboe finds out why this microbe fits "America's Dairyland" from Senator Rachel Cabral-Guevara from the 19th district. She says this microbe is used in nearly every dairy product made in the state, which makes it the perfect state microbe representative. This is the second straight session she has introduced the bill in. Today’s farms run on advanced technology, face high financial risk, and operate under ever-changing policy landscapes. Yet even with all that, farmers still find time to serve their communities—whether it’s mentoring youth or volunteering at the county fair. That’s exactly the kind of well-rounded excellence the Wisconsin Outstanding Young Farmer Program seeks to recognize. Cindy Matton leads the program. She tells Stephanie Hoff about the program and why it was started. She also explains the fairly simple application process for young farmers that want to apply. Deadline is September 1!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The transition is complete. Wisconsin's new Alice in Dairyland is on the job with her first official day happening today. Jill Welke finds out what hopes and aspirations Sarah Hagenow is holding for the position as the 78th Alice. Sarah just graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in agricultural and food business management and a minor in international agriculture. Hagenow’s youth was characterized by involvement in 4-H and FFA, which spurred her to join the Gopher Dairy Club, Agricultural Business Club, Agricultural Mentor Program, and the dairy cattle judging team at college. Hagenow has held internships with Heatherstone Enterprises, Viking Dairy Company, the Minnesota State Senate, and the Animal Agriculture Alliance. The heat has broken for Wisconsin this week. Stu Muck says there is some rain on the way.The "Big Beautiful Bill" is complete and signed. Tyler Wenzlaff is the National Affairs Coordinator for the WI Farm Bureau Federation. He says there's a lot of elements in that bill that agriculture needs to notice. Raising reference prices, improvements to DMC, livestock disaster assistance, conservation dollars, and trade development is already in this package which makes Wenzlaff wonder if this is the path a new Farm Bill will take. Stephanie Hoff gets the available details. While the federal bill gains some funding for important agriculture programs, there are still groups and farms that were promised federal grants that are waiting. One group that saw their federal funding shaved severely is Glacierland Grazing. Kiley Allan finds out about the staff losses and project goals that have had to adjust from Kelsey Wallisch is the Regenerative Agriculture Specialist. She walks us through the changes they've seen and tells us how resilience has gotten them through the challenges. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

July is National Ice Cream Month, and while we enjoy those frosty treats, let's remember the hard working dairy farm families that help make it possible. One of which is Kristen Metcalf, District 25 Director that sits on the board of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. She represents producers in Green, Rock and Walworth county and operates a dairy herself. Metcalf says that although Wisconsin may be known for its cheese, ice cream is another incredibly popular dairy product that consumers and retailers look to the state for. "Thanks to the incredible milk from nearly 5,500 dairy farms across Wisconsin, more than 46 million gallons of ice cream are produced in Wisconsin annually. There are over 108 million buyers of Ice Cream and sherbet across the U.S., with an 83% household penetration. An average buyer (consumer) purchases 45 pints each year!" That turns into major milk volume for the state's dairy producers too! Metcalf notes that it takes about 2–3 gallons of milk to make just one gallon of ice cream. She says just ONE Wisconsin dairy cows can actually produce enough milk in a single day to make three gallons of ice cream. Wisconsinites each enjoy an average of 17 pounds of ice cream a year! Metcalf says that Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin is happy to be partnering again with the Alice in Dairyland program to amplify all things dairy. In her role, Alice in Dairyland hosts a statewide spotlight on ice cream, appearing in radio, TV, and digital segments across Wisconsin. On average, Alice helps us earn over $18,000 worth of media coverage and reaches close to 800,000 consumers through at least 20 scheduled interviews. That’s huge visibility for our farmers and our state’s dairy industry. Wanna find out more about National Ice Cream month and Wisconsin's dairy industry?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! If you ask veteran paranormal investigator Michael Brown, Wisconsin isn't just haunted—it's practically a full-state séance waiting to happen. Over two decades of filming and investigating, Brown has collected chilling evidence everywhere from one-room schoolhouses to late-night radio studios. In a rural classroom he watched glimmering figures dart between desks—only to discover the presence had followed him home, tugging at his jacket long after the final bell. At a small-town station, engineers swear they hear children giggling through the monitors even when every mic is dead. Add abandoned asylums echoing with phantom footsteps, lakeside taverns where barstools slide on their own, and farmhouses where the attic light flicks on at 3 a.m. like clockwork, and the Badger State starts looking like the nation's supernatural capital. Join us as Michael Brown maps Wisconsin's ghostly hotspots and tackles the question: has America's Dairyland quietly become America's most haunted state?
