Podcasts about Dairyland

Milk Street Radio took our show on the road for an unforgettable night at The Wisconsin Art of Cheese Festival in Madison, Wisconsin. To celebrate being in America's Dairyland, Chris got a Wisconsin dairy history lesson from Laura Werlin; met with Master Cheesemakers Marieke Penterman and Chris Roelli; and even got his fortune read with a wedge of cheddar, thanks to professional cheese fortune teller, Jennifer Billock. Local legend Chef Tory Miller rounded out the evening with a tell-all interview — where he revealed how he beat Bobby Flay - and answered the audience's cheesiest questions. This special episode of Milk Street Radio is made in collaboration with our sponsor Wisconsin Cheese. Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Cheese badge at your local grocery store.

With over 100 years of history in the seed industry, Dairyland Seed is well aware that in agriculture - you don't rest on your laurels. Ryan Mueller, product portfolio and agronomy leader at Dairyland Seed, joins Pam Jahnke to share his story with the company. Mueller's actually been a part of Dairyland Seed since he was about 13. Little did he know that he would be a critical part of helping the team harness the scientific power that drives the results that today's farms demand. One product that's an example of how Dairyland Seed differentiates itself from others is the HiDF brand corn silage line-up. Mueller was a part of those early conversations that helped develop that path. The 3-legged stool that Mueller references are great genetics, outstanding feed, and milk production. Dairyland Seed is definitely not resting on its laurels. With amazing technology from Corteva Agriscience, as well as proprietary tools developed within Dairyland Seed - this company rooted with history is most definitely energized with evolution.

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.

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.

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?
