We’re looking forward to Wisconsin’s Ag Day at the Capitol tomorrow hosted by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation and co-sponsored by several other farm advocacy groups ranging from dairy to specialty crops. But farmers have not been idle when it comes to meeting with lawmakers. Recently, biofuels took center stage when about 35 corn and soybean growers were at the state Capitol to advance policies that support renewable fuels, such as ethanol. Crop farmer Randy Hughes from Rock County was among them. He tells Stephanie Hoff about two items he brought to the table including: an infrastructure grant program for biofuel facilities and a sustainable aviation fuel tax credit. Soybean grower Sara Stelter says another goal while in Madison is to make sure elected officials know how important biofuels are for Wisconsin farmers.Rain's still on the horizon for Wisconsin Thursday and Friday. Today - a little warmer according to Stu Muck. As weather allows, farms will continue executing their manure management plan. Pam Jahnke chats with Kevin Erb, UW-Extension Specialist that's been conducting educational seminars on update regulations overseeing manure management. He says attendance has been very robust, and farmers are accompanying their custom operators and training Spanish speaking employees to be part of the nutrient management team. Emily Sydow of Sun Prairie has been named the 2025 WI Honey Queen. She's currently a student at UW-Madison focused on Agricultural Applied Economics with a minor in Public Policy. Most farms already have their operating loans in place, but will they be able to repay them this year? Ben Jarboe asks the question of Dr. Paul Mitchell from the Renk Agribusiness Institute. Mitchell says margins are tighter than we've seen over the past 5 years, and the financial infusion farms received during the pandemic has been used up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bernard Wellnitz tells the story of his family's century farm in Rock County.  In 1923, the original farmstead of 168 acres was purchased. They raised dairy cattle, crossbred pigs, chickens, and grew tobacco. Over the years the farm was impacted heavily by ice storms and lost power for 6 days and they were also snowed in for 5 days. Bernard now owns the farm and rents it out. The family will be hosting a reunion next year to celebrate their heritage and century farm recognition. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They say that decisions are made by the people that show up, and Ag Day at the Capitol is an event where farmers show up to influence the decisions made by our lawmakers. However like many opportunities in Ag where decisions are being made, the crowd tends to be the older generation from farms. But Brady Zuck, who owns a cow/calf operation in Rusk County and Logan Frei who raises beef cattle and grows crops and canning vegetables in Rock County are speaking up and bringing the average age down as they step up to lead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About an hour and a half away from me here in Lone Rock, WI, there is a company called Rock County Sealcoating. So you would think, being as rural as Wisconsin is and the fact that WisCoat services about a 2 hour radius, that we would run into each other. We don't. In fact, the day Bob came by to visit and record this podcast, was the very first day we had met. We took a tour of Lone Rock and I showed him where I started, and talked about how. Then, it was Bob's turn to tell his story about how he got into Asphalt Maintenance and how he has grown...so naturally, we turned the mic and camera on. Hope you enjoy this one. -Marvin Link to save $199 off the 28 Circles Marketing Package: https://28circles.net/asphalt-app/?fpr=marvin21
