Send a textFewer ducks. Warmer winters. Skinnier water. We brought in Josh Bradley of SeeLite to connect the dots from rig choices to resource management—and to show how small details on your motor and big decisions on the landscape shape your season.First, we get tactical. Josh breaks down his Havoc setup, why a nine and a half gallon bow tank keeps the hull flat in shallow runs, and how Mud Buddy's 5400 won him over after years with GatorTail. We compare trim geometry that actually lifts a skeg above the transom, the new ergonomic tiller with momentary forward for safer micro-moves around spreads, and a quiet exhaust that keeps mid-range punch without the roar. Stainless skegs, belt support, gearing options, and maintenance rituals round out a no-hype guide to making a surface drive work in real flooded timber, sand, and river systems.Then we zoom out to the tough stuff. Duck numbers hinge on weather up north, water and invertebrates down south, and how we time floods across sanctuaries and WMAs. We talk transparency with Arkansas Game and Fish: publish the data, align boards and gates with clear plans, and spread hunters through access models that increase the odds of a good hunt. The timber debate gets honest—when to cut, how long recovery takes, and why roots still breathe in winter. Food becomes the pivot point: moist-soil units, rice, and the corn question. If private and northern practices hold birds, can public land add smart, marked food zones and adjacent hunting to keep Arkansas' flooded timber relevant without bending the rules?What emerges is a blueprint: better ergonomics and torque on the stern, predictable water and targeted food on the landscape, and open data that lets the public see progress. It's not about inside baseball or pointing fingers—it's about making choices that bring birds back to the woods and keep new hunters coming back next year.If this conversation helps you rethink your rig or your plan, tap follow, share it with a hunting partner, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

60 years ago Wisconsin created the position of "Fairest of the Fairs". Designed to be an ambassador for all fairs in the state, the program is thriving today. Kiley Allan gets a chance to visit with the first "fairest" that started it all. Connie McCallister, was Wisconsin's 1st Fairest of Fairs and says the format was much more relaxed than it is today. She notes that the original competition mirrored the Miss America pageant, featuring swimsuit and formal wear segments. The actual crowning took place on the grandstand stage of the WI State Fair! McCallister says she lived on the fairgrounds during her term, presenting trophies to 4-H participants, appearing in daily parades, and opening nightly grandstand shows for famous entertainers. After her time as Fairest, she worked briefly in Washington D.C. media before serving as a Lutheran minister for 41 years. McAllister emphasizes that while the competition has changed, the fair remains a vital "gift" that celebrates the hard work of 4-H youth and their animals.Warmer weather this week should help with outdoor chores according to Stu Muck.Post Super Bowl, our emphasis is on athletes and agriculture. Dave Bangert is a dairy farmer in Clark County that sits on the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board. He's also a coach who knows how sports brings communities together. That's why he believes the investment DFW makes annually to partner with the WIAA in Wisconsin makes sense. Bangert says not only does it connect the dots on dairy nutrition in young people's diets, it highlights the connection that dairy farm families have with student athletes and their communities. Paid for by Dairy Farmer of Wisconsin.What happens when the sports spotlight ends? It could be by the athletes choice or not. What's next? For Marcus Landry, a former UW-Madison Badger basketball player, his playing career ended at 35. Stephanie Hoff learns that Landry found agriculture when his wife sent him for eggs. He returned with 14 chickens instead in the back of her Cadillac Escalade. He jokingly refers to it as providing a "life supply of eggs" rather than just a carton. He says those were initially kept in the living room while he built a coop outside. Today Landry and his family share their farm with students and 4-H members from the area as they work on their business plans for life.

-(subtitle)-.In This Podcast: In this episode, Greg chats with sourdough baker, teacher, and cookbook author Amy Coyne of Amy Bakes Breadto demystify sourdough from starter to slice. Amy shares her personal journey into sourdough, explains the science and simplicity behind naturally fermented bread, and offers practical guidance for beginners and experienced bakers alike. The conversation covers fermentation, hydration, common mistakes, discard recipes, and how to make sourdough fit into busy family life. Throughout, Amy emphasizes patience, experimentation, and joy in the process.Our Guest:  Amy Coyne is a sourdough baker, teacher and creator behind Amy Bakes Bread, where she shares tried and true sourdough recipes that are approachable, reliable, and fun to make. She's been baking for as long as she can remember, and sourdough has been part of her kitchen for over 13 years. Amy is the author of The Beginner's Guide to Sourdough, A cookbook made to help every home baker feel confident creating incredible sourdough bread from scratch. Key Topics & EntitiesAmy CoyneSourdough starterNatural fermentationWild yeast and bacteriaHydration levels in breadDutch oven bakingSourdough discardInclusion loavesFamily-friendly sourdoughThe Beginner's Guide to SourdoughAmy Bakes BreadHome baking scienceKey Questions AnsweredWhat makes sourdough different from conventional bread?Sourdough relies on natural fermentation rather than commercial yeast, resulting in improved digestibility, lower glycemic response, and better nutrient absorption due to reduced phytic acid.How do you create and maintain a sourdough starter?A starter is made by culturing wild yeast and bacteria from flour and water through regular feedings, watching for predictable rise-and-fall cycles, and adjusting temperature and ratios for consistency.How does temperature affect sourdough fermentation?Warmer temperatures speed fermentation while cooler conditions slow it down, meaning timelines must shift with seasons and kitchen conditions.What is hydration, and why does it matter?Hydration refers to the ratio of water to flour; higher hydration creates a more open, airy crumb, while lower hydration produces a tighter, more structured loaf.What are the most common mistakes new sourdough bakers make?Unrealistic expectations, discomfort with wet doughs, and misunderstanding fermentation timing are common early hurdles.What can you do with sourdough discard instead of throwing it away?Discard can be used in crackers, pancakes, biscuits, cookies, gravies, and more—adding flavor, texture, and reducing waste.How can sourdough be adapted for busy schedules and families?Using refrigeration, adjusting starter...

Wisconsin has a unique opportunity for citizens to chime in on guidance for the state's natural resources. How should state parks be monitored, along with natural resources. It's all fair game for conversations according to Paul Reith, delegate for the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. The event happens April 13-15 statewide. He says it started with anxiety over the state's whitetail deer population. Today it involves conversation on everything from boating practices to hunting limits. He explains some of the history and what's expected this year to Pam Jahnke. Warmer temps this week could mean a little more snow on the way for Wisconsin. Stu Muck fills us in.The WI Corn/Soy Expo concluded on Friday in Wisconsin Dells. While most of the messages weren't necessarily optimistic, farms are monitoring developments globally. Ben Jarboe talks to Steve Metzger, president of the American Soybean Association about the trade entanglements that are slowing soybean movement globally. He says sales are wonderful as long as the transaction actually happens. The Wisconsin Pork Association was also a part of the Corn/Soy Expo. Stephanie Hoff found out that producers are still battling against individual state mandates that dictate production standards. Duane Stateler, president, National Pork Producers Council says that language adopted in CA and MA are creating consumer confusion and frustration and marketing nightmares for processors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Summary: Join Kiersten as she takes you on a slow look at tuatara reproduction.   For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes: “Novel mating behaviors in male tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) expand our understanding of reptile courtship,” by Sarah K. Lamar, Diane K. Ormsby, and Nicola J. Nelson.

(Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… This is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Welcome back to Ten Things I Like About after a year end break. I hope the new year treats you well and opportunities abound. Let's get started! We will continue with Tuatara. The third thing I like about tuatara is reproduction. As we travel along with the journey of discovery with tuatara, I want to pose a question to you. Is the tuatara a lizard? Or is it something else? Based on the physical description I outlined in the first episode, they seem to be lizards, if not very lizard like. But I want you to keep this question in the back of your mind as we progress through each new episode. We will revisit this question at the end of this series and see what we all think. Okay, let's talk about how baby tuatara are made. Tuatara mating and reproduction is not like anything else in the reptile world. Long incubation periods, extensive maturation, and unusual consummation marks the reproductive cycle of the tuatara. It all begins sometime between January and March when males begin showing off to attract a mate. Remember those spines that they have on their neck and back, well they are there for pretties. They can fan out and shake the larger crest of spines in hopes of attracting a lady. For a long time we thought this was all the males did during the breeding season, but a study that looked more closely at males on Takapourewa Island revealed many more tricks they use to catch the ladies eye.  Boys will come a courting at a female's burrow and it can get complicated and lengthy. It might be a good idea that she gets to stay at home once all the excitement begins. First, the male adopts body positions that make him look big, such as inflating the body and gular region (that's the chin area), elevating his body off the forest floor (the up part of a push-up), and erecting those spines on his neck and back. Next, the male will begin the slow proud walk, also known as stolzer Gang, in a circle around the female. He'll perform this slow exaggerated walk in concentric circles, pausing occasionally, and decreasing the circle circumference with each pass. If the female is interested, she will leave her burrow entrance, allow the male to paw at her, and then mount her from behind. If there are obstacles in the male's circular path, they will climb over, or go around. If the obstacle is too big to conquer, they'll just shorten the circle to a semi-circle. I mean you gotta give them props for not getting distracted from their goal. The proud walk can last up to 44 minutes.    A few novel behaviors were observed by researchers studying the Takapourewa population. Mirrored head bobbing between the male and female was observed a few times, something that has not been seen in reptiles before. The male would bob his head a specific number of times and when he paused, the female would bob the small numbers of times. This was a very exciting discovery that will need more research to determine what it means and if it is found in other populations of tuatara, but how very interesting. Vocalizations in tuatara are typically limited to croaks emitted when handled, or during aggressive moments between males, but these researchers encountered several males that purred during the mating process. We aren't sure what this means or if this is a wide spread behavior but it is another exciting discovery. Once the female has accepted the male and he mounts her from behind, he positions his pelvis so that both of their cloacas come in contact. This is how he spreads his sperm to her. Males do not have special reproductive organs like most other reptiles. So they perform the cloacal kiss to pass their sperm to the female. Male sperm are fast swimmers. They are actually the fastest sperm in the reptile kingdom, moving two to four times faster than any other reptile's sperm. The female can store the sperm for 10 to 12 months.  Before all this happens, the female has been working on creating the eggs inside her body. It can take three years for a female to create and egg with yolk and an additional 7 to 8 months to create the shell. A female is only able to successfully breed every three to five years.  Once the eggs are ready and fertilized, the female can lay 1 to 19 soft-shelled, white eggs in her burrow. Incubation is extremely long at 12 to 15 months! Yes, it takes a year or more for baby tuatara to hatch into the world. This is unheard of in reptiles. Maybe not the best survival tactic for a species, but as we can see tuatara don't do anything quickly. Similar to some other reptiles, temperature during incubation is important to the sex of a hatchling. Warmer temperatures produce males while cooler temperatures create females.  The eggs are on their own during incubation and the hatchlings have to fight for life alone as soon as they emerge from the burrow. Neither parent remains at the nest to protect the eggs or hatchlings. If they survive their early years, they have to wait ten to twenty years before they can join the reproductive cycle.  In this episode, I think we've proven that tuatara don't do anything fast and that's why their reproductive cycle is my third favorite thing about them.     If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about the tuatara.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

Farmers can't take their health for granted, but may not realize how many dangers they're exposed to everyday. Ben Jarboe talks to Dr. Arden Anderson, a Physician and Agricultural Consultant in Kansas City. Jarboe learns that Anderson has found that farmers are among the highest-risk groups for developing serious illnesses. He says he's found that farmers face elevated rates of cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other health issues. Chemical exposure—especially pesticides—is a major contributor to poor health outcomes. Anderson also notes that farmers must recognize that their lifestyle has changed over the past 50 years, including fewer gardens and less consumption of fresh produce, which have reduced dietary quality. Modern farming involves more sitting, less sunlight, and less physical activity compared to previous generations.Warmer weather on the way this week once we get through a foggy Monday morning.

Eagerly awaiting the upcoming New Year's Day holiday, Wang Xiaohui, 32, has planned a trip to Harbin — a traditional winter tourism destination and the capital of Heilongjiang province — for the three-day break starting on Jan 1. Wang will ring in the New Year amid the city's dreamlike snowy vistas.32岁的王晓慧正满怀期待地迎接即将到来的元旦假期，她计划在1月1日开始的三天假期里前往哈尔滨——这一传统的冬季旅游目的地，也是黑龙江省省会。她将在这座城市如梦似幻的雪景中迎接新年的到来。"I used to spend New Year's Eve in Beijing with my family, eating dumplings, but this year I'll spend it with three friends," she said.她说：“以前我都是和家人在北京一起过除夕、吃饺子，但今年我会和三位朋友一起度过。”She had planned to see in the New Year at Harbin Ice and Snow World, one of China's top snow-themed parks, but was unable to get tickets.她原本计划在中国顶级冰雪主题乐园之一——哈尔滨冰雪大世界迎接新年，但未能买到门票。Travel agencies have forecast significant growth in both domestic and outbound tourism during the three-day holiday. Within the country, colder regions with abundant snow and regions with milder climates are competing for travelers.多家旅行机构预测，在为期三天的假期中，国内游和出境游均将实现显著增长。在国内市场，冰雪资源丰富的寒冷地区与气候相对温和的地区正共同争夺游客。Qi Chunguang, vice-president of travel portal Tuniu, said, "In the past 10 days, searches for 'New Year' tour products on our platform have doubled compared with the previous 10 days, and searches for 'New Year's Eve countdown' have grown by over 50 percent."旅游网站途牛副总裁齐春光表示：“过去10天，我们平台上‘元旦'旅游产品的搜索量较此前10天翻了一番，‘跨年倒计时'相关搜索量增长超过50%。”Qi noted the soaring popularity of snow destinations like Harbin and predicted that a travel peak in the winter tourism market would occur during the New Year's Day holiday. This is supported by data from Tujia, a domestic homestay booking platform, which reported that Harbin currently leads in holiday bookings.齐春光指出，哈尔滨等冰雪旅游目的地热度持续攀升，并预计元旦假期将迎来冬季旅游市场的出行高峰。国内民宿预订平台途家提供的数据也印证了这一判断，目前哈尔滨在假期预订量中位居前列。"Warmer places like Quanzhou in Fujian province and Libo in Guizhou province are also popular, with searches increasing by three to five times in the past 10 days," he said.他说：“福建泉州、贵州荔波等气候较为温暖的地区同样受到欢迎，过去10天相关搜索量增长了三到五倍。”Li Ailing, from Beijing, has booked a three-day trip to Quanzhou with her husband.来自北京的李爱玲已与丈夫预订了一次为期三天的泉州之行。"Beijing is too cold in winter, so we want to go to a warmer place with beautiful sea views," Li said. "My husband visited Quanzhou last year, and highly recommended it for its delicious food and distinct culture."李爱玲表示：“北京冬天太冷了，所以我们想去一个温暖、还能看到海景的地方。我丈夫去年去过泉州，他非常推荐那里，觉得美食丰富、文化特色鲜明。”Li said that they plan to leave on Dec 31, a day before the holiday period starts, to avoid the traffic rush.李爱玲说，他们计划在12月31日、即假期开始前一天出发，以避开交通高峰。The outbound tourism market is also expected to boom over the holiday. Online travel agency Qunar forecasts its first travel peak on Saturday. Popular destinations include South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam, with South Korea seeing the fastest growth in bookings due to lower flight prices.元旦假期期间，出境游市场也有望迎来增长。在线旅游平台去哪儿网预测，其首个出行高峰将出现在周六。热门目的地包括韩国、泰国、新加坡和越南，其中韩国因机票价格较低，预订量增长最快。Qunar noted that some tourists are extending their trips by taking extra paid vacation days to visit more distant destinations such as Egypt and Spain. "New Zealand is also popular among those extending their breaks because it's midsummer there. We've seen flight bookings to New Zealand increase by 1.1 times on our platform," it added.去哪儿网指出，一些游客通过额外请带薪年假，将行程延长，前往埃及、西班牙等较远的目的地。该平台补充称：“新西兰也受到延长假期游客的青睐，因为当地正值盛夏。我们平台上飞往新西兰的机票预订量增长了1.1倍。”snow-themed park/snəʊ θiːmd pɑːk/冰雪主题乐园homestay booking platform/ˈhəʊmsteɪ ˈbʊkɪŋ ˈplætfɔːm/民宿预订平台traffic rush/ˈtræfɪk rʌʃ/交通高峰flight bookings/flaɪt ˈbʊkɪŋz/机票预订量paid vacation days/peɪd vəˈkeɪʃən deɪz/带薪休假

Despite the Farmer's Bridge Assistance program and the $11 billion it's bringing to farms, there's still no Farm Bill. Bob Bosold talks about the agenda yet to be tackled on farm policy with Rod Larew, President of the National Farmers Union. Larew was in Wisconsin for the 95th annual meeting of the WI Farmers Union. He says that while farms are grateful for the financial assistance, they'd rather get their "check" from the world marketplace. Larew says the battle doesn't end with tariffs. He says it's also about the concentration that's happened in the food processing and agribusiness sector as a whole. He says they're still pushing for a Farm Bill, but recognize with the divisiveness in D.C. and elections ahead, getting it over the goal line may be difficult. Warmer weather today will transition to windy and wet as the day unfolds. Stu Muck says that temperatures will also start slipping once we reach the weekend. Ashley Huhn from the Steffes Group highlights some upcoming Wisconsin auctions currently on their website. It includes an equipment dispersal at Delong Company in Clinton and a land sale coming up near Columbus. Paid for by Steffes Group. Wisconsin dairy producers aren't happy with their milk checks, but they should be happy with how consumption of dairy products has continued to grow. USDA released numbers from 2024 that highlighted butter consumption breaking all records and cottage cheese enjoying an increase in buyers. Pam Jahnke recaps some of the information. The holiday season is the number one spot in a calendar year for prime rib sales. Angie Horkan with the WI Beef Council says that even with higher prices, consumers are buying ribs. She also offers some cost saving recipes available at beeftips.com. Paid for by Equity Livestock Cooperative Sales Association.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's not just soybeans caught in the crosshairs of tariffs. The U.S. Meat Export Federation is battling against tariffs and phytosanitary challenges on the global scene, too. Dan Halstrom is the CEO of USMEF. He visits with Bob Bosold about the challenges and opportunities he sees. Halstrom notes that while some markets like China are still throwing up obstacles, there are still areas like Central America and regions of Africa that hold tremendous promise for U.S. meat products.Warmer weather is on its way, but it brings gusty winds. Stu Muck says the warmer weather will put a dent in the snowpack around the state by later this week. Wisconsin detected its first case of H5N1 and announced the findings on Sunday. Pam Jahnke gets the details on what consumers should know from Adam Brock, administrator of the Food Safety and Recreation Dept. at DATCP. Brock says with the rigid system Wisconsin put in place earlier this year, the impacted cow/herd was detected before milk left the farm. Brock also reiterates that even milk impacted by H5N1 is safe for human consumption once pasteurized. It's a different dairy story from the current Alice in Dairyland, Sarah Hagenow. She visits with Stephanie Hoff about how real Wisconsin butter adds a delicious element to the holiday season. Hagenow reminds consumers that if they want to know their dairy comes from Wisconsin, look for the "Proudly Wisconsin" badge or the number 55 on the dairy packaging. That tells you the product is Wisconsin-based. Paid for by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hurricane Melissa's explosive growth into a Category 5 storm highlights how climate change is intensifying tropical cyclones around the world. Scientists say the record-warm Caribbean waters—supercharged by rising global temperatures—acted like fuel, allowing Melissa to rapidly strengthen into a catastrophic hurricane. Warmer oceans provide more energy and moisture to storms, leading to higher wind speeds and heavier rainfall, while rising sea levels worsen storm surge and flooding impacts. Experts warn that as the planet continues to heat up, hurricanes like Melissa are likely to become more frequent, more destructive, and harder to predict, making climate adaptation and emission reductions more urgent than ever.
