Six candidates are working to become the 78th Alice in Dairyland. That also signals the final phase of service for Halei Heinzel, our current "Alice." She visits with Stephanie Hoff about the learning journey the six will experience leading up to the May finale in Crawford County. The top candidates are: Allison Foster, Waupun, Michelle Stangler, Watertown, Mikalya Flyte, Coloma, Natalie Roe, Monticello, Olivia Lulich from Lyndon Station, and Sarah Hagenow from Poynette. Hosting the Alice in Dairyland finals is a big deal for a county. It brings statewide news coverage and drives local interest in the county’s agribusiness industry. Carol Roth is co-chairing the Crawford County Alice in Dairyland Finals Committee, the host this year. She says she applied for Crawford County to host the Alice program as a strategic way to bring attention to the county’s agribusiness sector. She says it's about time they showed off all they have to offer! After all, Crawford County has had three Alice in Dairylands in its history. Another beautiful day on the way for Wisconsin with temperatures in the mid 50's according to Stu Muck.Steffes Auction is back in the heat of the moment with active auctions before spring planting begins. Ashley Huhn with the Steffes Group tells Pam Jahnke that they're also offering financing options for buyers in 2025. It's a new service that they've found helpful as farmers face more difficult economics this year. Paid for by the Steffes Group.Today's the beginning of the Professional Dairy Producers annual business conference. Shelly Mayer, executive director of the group, says the scope of information they'll be sharing covers the gamut for any dairy regardless of size. Francisco Arriaga, UW extension specialist on soils and environmental studies says that farmers would be wise to fight the urge that the warmer weather may inspire. He says there's a lot to lose if you start field work too early. We're hearing stories daily about the federal funding freeze impacting USDA contracts. What can farmers and non-profits do if they're caught holding a binding contract with the federal government, that the federal government no longer wishes to honor. Pam Jahnke visits with Rachel Armstrong, attorney with Farm Commons, about mechanisms in place to try and help document and mitigate the process.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rachel Armstrong, attorney and founder of Farm Commons, is busy handling a lot of questions from farmers about federal funding freezes. What can you do if you're holding a signed, binding, government contract that the government has decided not to honor? Is there recourse? Is there a penalty if I don't go forward with a project given the unknown circumstances? Armstrong answers them all with Pam Jahnke, and reminds farmers and non-profits that the terrain is always changing and so are the rules. More sunshine today as the weather pattern around Wisconsin starts to change. Stu Muck says that by Friday, a cooler, wetter pattern will start coming our way. The Professional Dairy Producers annual business conference always packs a lot in for a two day conference. With the major focus on tariff's PDP welcomed in dairy guests from the Netherlands, France and Ireland. Ben Jarboe finds out how this tariff talk and sustainability goals demanded by the EU are changing a dairy's strategy in Ireland. David Hyland, Irish dairy farmer from the outskirts of the village of Clough beside Ballacolla in Co Laois, says that he thinks the EU's time estimates for making some of these environmental goals happen is unattainable. Skelly's Farm Market in Janesville has been named the 2025 Governor's Innovation Tourism Award winners. Skelly's has embraced technology since they started designing corn mazes in 1998. Today they continue to embrace technology with a smartphone app that turns a corn maze stroll into a video-like game challenge. Despite tariff talk swirling in the market, dairy is gaining. Why? Is there something about to happen? Pam Jahnke talks to Matt Tranel, dairy risk specialist with EverAg during the PDP annual meeting. Tranel says that the U.S. has continued a fairly steady dairy movement just waiting for tariffs to become more clearly focused.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farmers and organizations across the country are feeling uncertain about government contracts tied to USDA programs like EQIP, CSP, and REAP. With funding frozen and contract decisions unclear, producers are left wondering what to do next. "We've been getting a lot of questions from farmers who already started projects or hired contractors," said Rachel Armstrong, Executive Director and Attorney with Farm Commons. "Many are worried they won’t get reimbursed as promised." Farm Commons is working to help farmers understand their legal options. Armstrong emphasized that communication is key. "The first step is to call your USDA contact and ask for an update," she advised. "It's important to document that conversation."

This is the second episode of the “Women Leaders Series,” a collaboration between Brand & New and The Women's LeadershIP Initiative. The series celebrates the unique leadership qualities of women, including their collaborative and empathetic approach to success. It brings together women leaders in diverse roles and represents various organization types in the brands and IP ecosystem. These women are at the forefront of industry trends and the conversation around how the landscape for women leaders is being shaped today.Today is International Women's Day. Held annually on March 8, International Women's Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. In recognition of this, today's episode of Brand & New previews INTA's soon-to-be-published “gender indicator study.” Last year, a diverse project team of INTA members developed a survey investigating how gender affects the experience of trademark practitioners in the workplace, with a focus on representation, career progression, and work-life integration. The survey was sent out to INTA members late last year and respondents, including both men and women, from more than 90 jurisdictions participated and shared their views. Given the global and diverse nature of our community, the research aims to uncover deep insight into the gender-based experiences of trademark practitioners around the world today, reveal the key indicators shaping those experiences and defining our workplace, and capture how IP professionals feel about their own experiences. While the survey suggests that progress is being made, there is still much to be done to truly improve the experiences of women in the trademark field.Our guests are Rachel Armstrong, Shwetasree Majumder, and Muireann Bolger. Ms. Armstrong is a Partner at Gowling WLG and based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Rachel serves on the Women's LeadershIP Initiative Project Team and on INTA's Brands and Innovation Committee. Ms. Majumder is a Managing Partner of Fidus Law Chambers, based in Nodia, India. She serves on the INTA's DEI Council and the Enforcement Committee. She is also a past board member. And, Ms. Bolger is Deputy Group Editor at World IP Review, based in London, England. She takes the lead on all DEI-related coverage for World IP Review and is a co-author of INTA's gender indictor story. Resources: About Rachel Armstrong About Shwetasree Majumder About Muireann Bolger International Women's Day 2024 (internationalwomensday.com) The Women's LeadershIP Initiative (inta.org) World IP Review's Diversity Channel (worldipreview.com) Women Leaders Series: Advancing Athlete Rights (Brand & New, February 2024) Striving for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as an Outside IP Counsel (Brand & New, April 2022) Women's Empowerment in Intellectual Property (Brand & New, March 2022)

A farmer's relationship with legal counsel can be critically important to the overall health and function of a farm or agribusiness.  Rachel Armstrong has made this her career - forging those valuable relationships.  Charitee Seebecker dives deeper with the attorney about some of the do's and don'ts for planning success. Today's the day!  The beginning of the World Champion Cheese event in Madison.  Russell Swenson, Chief of Logistics for the event talks about the challenges no one sees about moving the volume of product around before the event. Warmer weather may be something we've been enjoying lately - but it also can inspire insects to get active.  Charitee Seebecker talks to PJ Leisch, state extension entomologist, about what he's keeping his eye on for this spring. Wisconsin soybean producers are expressing their disappointment after Chevron announced it would be closing its Madison biodiesel facility, citing poor market conditions.  The plant began operations in 2007, and produced about 20 million gallons a year.  Kelly Marzak, project manager with MEG Corp, a fueling consulting company in Plymouth, Minnesota, talks with Pam Jahnke about how municipalities have begun to focus a lot of attention and investments toward biodiesel as part of their sustainability plan. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend joins Pam Jahnke.  Taiwan was back in the U.S. corn market on Monday for the first time in a while.  Heinberg says it was due in part to China's activity in South America.  Taiwan essentially being forced to buy in the U.S. while prices are discounted.  So why is China buying?  Heinberg says news sources report that China's recently passed budget put an emphasis on building stockpiles of edible oils and food related commodities.  A sign they want to counter food insecurity.  Heinberg says they might be getting proactive in anticipation of weather challenges going forward both in their own country and around the globe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People can be fairly uninformed about products they're buying and how those products got to them.  Wisconsin soybean growers are paying attention and trying to share that story.  Tony Mellenthin is a soybean grower in northwest Wisconsin who also sits on the United Soybean Board.  He and his wife are expecting their third child, and they're using soy based products to prepare the nursery.  Bob Bosold gets a tour.Covering Wisconsin with weather gear is the goal of Chris Vagasky, WISCONET coordinator.  He tells Pam Jahnke about how he's crisscrossing the state installing new weather stations.Wisconsin's weather is bringing another drastic change in temperatures.  Stephanie Hoff catches up with Jesse Wagner, owner and operator of The Woods Sugarbush in Manitowoc, to discuss if this expected surge in temperatures will spell the end of "sugaring" in Wisconsin.This is the time of year when farms are meeting with a lot of their advisors.  Tax planners, accountants, bankers and lawyers.  One tough question that can flummox farms is their structure. Is it a partnership, and LLC, a corporation?  Each option has details that must be minded.  Rachel Armstrong with FarmCommons is an attorney that loves to advise farms through those decision boxes.  Charitee Seebecker finds out about some of the common questions farms should be asking and considering.If you're a dairy farmer - you're already busy.  Finding extra time to be involved in leadership roles can be extra tough.  Stephanie Hughes is a mother of 3 young boys, married to an active military man, and dairy farming.  She shares why she makes leadership opportunities a priority with Pam Jahnke.  Part of FarmFirst Dairy Cooperatives paid monthly updates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finding the right legal structure for your farm can be overwhelming. From liability and taxation to overall sustainability. It's not a one-size fits all approach.  “While sole proprietorships and partnerships offer simplicity, they also come with inherent risks, as personal assets are exposed to business liabilities,” explains Rachel Armstrong, Executive Director of Farm Commons. “Alternatively, corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs) provide a layer of protection by separating personal and business assets, thus mitigating risk.” However, merely establishing a legal entity is not enough to ensure success. Equally important is the creation of governance documents, such as operating agreements for LLCs and bylaws for corporations. These documents outline key aspects of the business, including ownership structure, decision-making processes, and dispute resolution mechanisms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everything is changing down on the farm, except for the laws.  How do farmers and ranchers keep up while they diversify in to direct to consumer sales, wedding sites, field dinners, local meat processing, pesticide drift, agri-tourism, cottage food, food safety liability, NIMBY neighbors, run off, carbon credits, etc?  The trusty local lawyer may not have all the answers.  That's why Rachel Armstrong created Farm Commons.

In search of new knowledge practices that can help us make the world livable again, this book takes the reader on a journey across time―from the deep past to the unfolding future. The authors search beyond human knowledge to establish negotiated partnerships with forms of knowledge within the planet itself, examining how we have manipulated these historically through an anthropocentric focus. Rolf Hughes and Rachel Armstrong's book The Art of Experiment: Artistic Research in Experimental Architecture (Routledge, 2020) explores the many different kinds of knowledge, and the diversity of instruments needed to invoke and actuate the potency of human and nonhuman agencies.

In search of new knowledge practices that can help us make the world livable again, this book takes the reader on a journey across time―from the deep past to the unfolding future. The authors search beyond human knowledge to establish negotiated partnerships with forms of knowledge within the planet itself, examining how we have manipulated these historically through an anthropocentric focus. Rolf Hughes and Rachel Armstrong's book The Art of Experiment: Artistic Research in Experimental Architecture (Routledge, 2020) explores the many different kinds of knowledge, and the diversity of instruments needed to invoke and actuate the potency of human and nonhuman agencies. Four key phases in our ways of knowing are identified: material, strengthening, reconfiguring, and extending, which are exemplified through case studies that take the form of worlding experiments.

Does your farm have the right legal structures in place to protect your livelihood and to keep your farm thriving?  We're joined on the show today by Rachel Armstrong, Founder and Executive Director of Farm Commons located in Duluth, Minnesota. Farm Commons' mission is to empower agricultural communities to resolve their own legal vulnerabilities, within an ecosystem of support. A single legal vulnerability can make or break a farm. But farmers, ranchers, and agriculture communities already have their hands full taking on behemoths like monopolistic agribusiness companies. Farms today are getting squeezed by overwhelming social and economic forces. They need shared tools for legal resilience. Learn how Rachel and her team can provide legal resilience for you and your farm!   You'll hear: What motivated Rachel to establish Farm Commons 1:03 What blanket farm personal property is 11:25 Why it's good to have a solid lease agreement in place 15:39 What legal structures farmers should have in place 23:32 What the rules are surrounding volunteers 27:36 What Rachel recommends for farms offering worker perks such as room and board 32:58 What advice Rachel has for farmers just getting started 37:35 About the Guest: Rachel Armstrong is the founder and Executive Director of Farm Commons, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering farmers to resolve their own legal vulnerabilities within an ecosystem of support. After a childhood and early career in agriculture showed her the vast need for legal education, Rachel went to law school with the exclusive purpose of creating an organization to address that need. Her game-changing vision for how farmers experience business law has been awarded a 2012 Echoing Green Global Fellowship and a 2018 Ashoka Fellowship. As leading authority on direct-to-consumer farm law she has authored dozens of publications and leads workshops nationwide. Rachel instructs continuing legal education classes for the American Bar Association, teaches farm law for the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and is a co-author of "Farmers' Guide to Business Structures," published by USDA SARE. She lives in Northern Minnesota with her husband and 3 children, not far from the old farm where she grew up.   Resources:Website - https://farmcommons.org/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/FarmCommons Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/farm.commons/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/farmcommons

Show Notes: In this episode, we're back with our director Rachel Armstrong for Part 5 to discuss COVID-19's impacts on workers on the farm through diversification into farmstand sales and delivery, as well as social distancing practices. Employment law is the gift that keeps on giving and our lively conversation covers important employment law considerations when combining other businesses' products with your own and home delivery, which may require overtime pay and workers' compensation. We also explain unemployment insurance as it relates to the farm, wrapping up with a response to the question – “Can I require social distancing on my farm?” For more information on these and other employment law considerations, check out our resources Farm Employment Law: Know the Basics and Make them Work for Your Farm and Managing the Risks of Interns and Volunteers.
