It's been just over a month since a series of EF2 tornadoes raced across southeast Wisconsin. While the storms may have passed, for the farms that were impacted the lingering damage has changed lives. Pam Jahnke visits with Dr. Monty Belmar from Waupun Vet Services. Belmar was one of the veterinarians that responded to injured animals at a Juneau area dairy that was struck by a tornado. Aside from evaluating injured animals and responding immediately, there's the question of where the displaced animals will go. How will they be fed, watered and milked? While he's lived through events like this in the past, Belmar says each situation brings new challenges that don't end after the debris is picked up.Hot. That describes the weather coming to Wisconsin. Stu Muck explains what taking care of yourself and your animals will be a priority this weekend. When you hear about schools recruiting, you probably think about sports. Now agriculture schools are recruiting too! Stephanie Hoff was a part of the group when nearly 30 students from seven rural Wisconsin towns celebrated the UW-Madison College of Agricultural & Life Sciences Rural Scholars Program. These high-schoolers spent the last four days getting acquainted with the agriculture campus and college life, touring facilities like ag engineering, food science, and horticulture. They also stayed in college dorm rooms. Before the program, most of these seniors and juniors didn’t think a four-year university was in the cards for them. Now, they’ll be applying to UW-Madison. Rural Scholars Program Director Tanya Cutsforth says the effort, funded by USDA, is to reach out to rural students with the message that: college is possible for you. It's a little early to be very confident about where yields will be by the harvest, but taking a chance could pay off. Pam Jahnke chats with UW-Extension Soybean Specialist, Dr. Shawn Conley, about the 2025 WI Soybean Yield Contest. The contest, sponsored by the WI Soybean Marketing Board, recognizes growers with the best yield across the state. Conley also emphasizes that the information gained through the yield contest turns into guidance for future soybean research.

Moins connu que son cousin des Bermudes, le Triangle de l'Alaska est pourtant tout aussi mystérieux… voire plus inquiétant. Situé dans une zone délimitée entre Anchorage, Juneau et Barrow (au nord de l'État), ce triangle imaginaire fascine les chercheurs, les passionnés d'ésotérisme et les populations locales pour une raison troublante : plus de 16 000 personnes y ont disparu depuis les années 1980, sans laisser de traces.Ce chiffre impressionnant alimente la réputation d'une zone où avions, randonneurs, chasseurs et touristes disparaissent inexplicablement. Un des cas les plus célèbres remonte à 1972, lorsque le petit avion transportant le membre du Congrès américain Hale Boggs s'est volatilisé dans la région, sans jamais être retrouvé malgré d'intenses recherches mobilisant l'armée. Ni épave, ni corps, ni explication.Mais que se passe-t-il réellement dans ce triangle de glace ? Plusieurs hypothèses coexistent.D'abord, l'environnement naturel. L'Alaska est une terre extrême : conditions climatiques imprévisibles, blizzards soudains, forêts denses, montagnes escarpées, crevasses cachées sous la neige. À cela s'ajoutent les activités sismiques fréquentes (l'Alaska est l'un des États les plus géologiquement actifs des États-Unis) et la présence de failles tectoniques majeures qui pourraient entraîner des glissements de terrain ou engloutir des objets sans laisser de traces visibles.Ensuite, des phénomènes plus mystérieux sont évoqués. Des témoignages parlent de lumières étranges dans le ciel, de perturbations magnétiques, voire de portails vers d'autres dimensions. Des théories pseudo-scientifiques suggèrent l'existence de vortex énergétiques, comme ceux évoqués dans le mythe du Triangle des Bermudes. Pour les populations autochtones, la région est habitée par des esprits ou créatures surnaturelles, comme le Kushtaka, une entité mi-loutre mi-humaine qui attirerait les voyageurs perdus vers leur perte.Enfin, certains chercheurs évoquent des causes plus humaines : isolement extrême, trafics illicites, ou fugues délibérées. Dans une région aussi vaste, peu peuplée et difficile d'accès, il est relativement facile de disparaître… volontairement ou non.En résumé, le Triangle de l'Alaska est célèbre car il cumule des disparitions massives, un environnement hostile et des légendes captivantes. Dangereux à la fois par la nature et par les mystères qu'il inspire, il reste l'un des lieux les plus énigmatiques d'Amérique du Nord. Un triangle où la frontière entre réalité et mythe se brouille à chaque nouvelle disparition. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Last week we talked about the History of the discovery of the climate. This week we talk more about root causes and also – what you can do. Because we won't solve this as individuals. We need to fight on the same level as the oil industries.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0sxwGlTLWwCrying Indian ad mentioned in the video. Notice the terms "some people" and also "you" at the end. The organization, Keep America Beautiful, was created by a coalition of can creation companies (the ones you drink Coke in). They didn't want you to fight on a social level to just get rid of cans, they want you to stay individual.
