Wisconsin agriculture doesn't just depend on consumers within the state, but also markets beyond our borders.  Bob Bosold talks to WI Ag Sec. Randy Romanski about a recent trip he made to London that turned into an excellent opportunity to try and broaden Wisconsin's agriculture market internationally. Two of the states largest farm organizations are going through leadership changes.  Pam Jahnke reports that both the WI Farmers Union and the WI Farm Bureau Federation have changes.  Kim Porkorny is stepping down as WFB Chief Administrative Officer.  Rick Adamski is pivoting from president of the WI Farmers Union to their Government Relations Director.  Darren VonRuden is stepping back in as the organization's president. Technology is a major part of Wisconsin agriculture and now the WI Economic Development Corporation is investing in new technology being developed.  Pam Jahnke visits about the latest grant investments with WEDC's Missy Hughes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Smart phone apps, robotic milking, automatic feeding systems - the average Wisconsin farm today employs more technology than most households, and it looks like more is coming their way. Missy Hughes, Secretary and CEO of Wisconsin's Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) says they're working now to reach out to developing tech companies in the state to help find investors in their good ideas.  Qualified New Business Venture (QNBV) program has been around for a while through WEDC.  It's intended to encourage equity investment in technology-based businesses, including farming-related ones, in the state of Wisconsin. By giving eligible angel and venture fund investors a Wisconsin income tax credit equal to 25 percent of the value of their investments, the program helps tech-based startups develop products, enter markets and create high-quality jobs as they emerge in their industries. There's already several Wisconsin based companies that are finding new partnerships through QNBV.  Find out more about investing, or being vetted as a possible investment at wedc.org.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The bill will require the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to work with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to create a plan and achieve export objectives by June 30, 2026. “Wisconsin’s agricultural exports are the backbone of our second largest industry. I’m glad to see that Governor Evers recognizes the importance of dairy, meat, fish and cheese, but his proposal falls short of recognizing all of Wisconsin’s top exports like cranberries, ginseng and bovine genetics,” said Kurtz. “Our proposal will promote all Wisconsin exports and make the important investment in tracking the market data so we can continue this effort beyond this budget.” The agricultural export program requires WEDC to spend $2.5 million on increasing the value of Wisconsin’s milk and other dairy products, $1.25 million to increase the value of Wisconsin meat exports and $1.25 million to increase the value of Wisconsin’s crop exports.

Joey Frayne joins The Savvy Entrepreneur Radio Show to talk about Wisconsin's Qualified New Business Venture Tax Credit. He's worked with entrepreneurs his whole life, starting with working in the family's pizza franchise as a kid. Now he counsels startups and small businesses of all kinds through his role as Investment Technology Manager at the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, or WEDC. We talk about what the WEDC does, and some of its programs.  In particular, we focus on the Qualified New Business Venture Tax Credit.  The program is not a direct subsidy to small businesses.  Instead, it's a tax credit for those who invest in small and startup tech businesses, thereby boosting small businesses indirectly.  Investors can include angel firms, venture capital firms, family offices, or high net worth individuals. Joey talks about how the program has grown and helped hundreds of small Wisconsin companies.  And for those not in Wisconsin, Joey assures me that many (if not most) other states have similar programs. Take a listen by clicking on the arrow to the left!  You can also learn more about the program here.  You can also learn more about other Wisconsin resources to help entrepreneurs by listening to this podcast.

The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) says financial woes related to lost business because of the COVID-19 pandemic are deepening for some business sectors. The organization says tens of thousands of firms are seeking assistance. WEDC secretary and CEO Missy Hughes told the agency’s board Tuesday that after a bad economic hit during the spring, restaurants saw some improvements during the summer. "We're seeing that activity really die off now and I'm just not sure without additional federal assistance that these restaurants can really survive,” Hughes said. She added that many hotels are not doing well, either. Hughes said the state is trying to monitor the financial health of many firms. "If you look at a data point in January and say you had 100 businesses that are existing right now and the way we tracking that is simply whether they had one credit card transaction in a day. Now, we're seeing that number has reduced to 86.9, and it's on a trend line of going down,"
