After the 1988 season, Kewaunee County was seeking a new promoter for their dirt track. Kelly & Debbie Hafeman, along with partner Ralph Aschenbrenner, answered the bell.

Helping farms understand all the data they can collect on a daily basis can be a little overwhelming.  The good news is that data could hold financial value for the farm.  Stephanie Hoff finds out about how JJ Pagel of Pagel's Ponderosa in Kewaunee County, and agronomist, Carson Dugger keep track.The Association of Equipment Manufacturers are going to make their presence felt with a wide display of agricultural implements the first few days of May on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.  Curt Blades, senior vice president of agriculture explains why.Reaching the last mile in rural Wisconsin with broadband technology is an expensive proposition.  Darren Moser, CEO of Marquette-Adams Telephone Cooperative tells Stephanie Hoff about the positive stories he's heard, and the value grants have played in reaching that last mile.John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend, focuses on the big rally on cheese and butter prices in Chicago on Monday, and the latest milk production figures released on Monday.  Only 7 of the 24 major dairy producing states saw milk production go up, and the national dairy herd cow number is down 85,000 head compared to last year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"You can't manage what you can't measure" was the thought that drove Pagel's Ponderosa in Kewaunee County to be one of the 11 pilot farms in the new Your Farm - Your Footprint program through PDPW. JJ Pagel recommends other dairy farmers take advantage of this tool that calculates your farm's carbon score. He says it was easier than he thought because the data the consultants need to calculate your score already exists on your farm, such as a nutrient management plan and milk production data. Pagel's carbon emission score was 1.16. The average is 2.8. His goal is 0. The assessment provided the farm with more data to help tell the farm's sustainability story. He discovered that through his conservation practices, he saves 352 dump trucks of soil annually.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For some of us, manure smells like home. It's also a sure sign of spring. Heim Brothers Custom in Kewaunee County is getting ready for a busy season handling manure for area farms. Heim Brothers Custom has been around since 2015, helping about 17 farms on 60,000 acres reach their manure management and conservation goals. The Heim family also belongs to Peninsula Pride Farms, a farmer-led watershed group in Kewaunee County. Jeremy Heim tells me more about the success they've had with conservation practices, but first he previews the manure handling season.  In 2022, farmers potentially prevented an estimated 101,415 pounds of phosphorus from leaving the fields and reduced 65,525 tons of sediment erosion, along with reducing carbon dioxide equivalents by 11,194 tons, according to an analysis shared by Farmers for Sustainable Food, DATCP and The Nature Conservancy. For comparison, 100 tons of sediment is about 10 standard dump truck loads, and 1 pound of phosphorous in a lake or stream has the potential to cause the growth of up to 500 pounds of algae, which can degrade water quality. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions reduced equals 2,412 cars driven for a year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
