A Canadian company plans to begin drilling for precious metals in northern Wisconsin this year. A Wisconsin student is suing WIAA for not letting her play lacrosse. And, WPR's Bridgit Bowden gives us a look at how the dairy industry in Wisconsin could be impacted by President Trump's immigration policy.

The WIAA just did something incredibly cowardly regarding women’s sports. Fox’s Martha MacCallum got into a heated exchange with Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) who denied some of the waste, fraud, and abuse found by DOGE. Washington parents are concerned that colleges and universities aren’t reporting hazing incidents, which they are required to by state law. // LongForm: GUEST: State Rep.

While the buzz has largely been on the national scene with department cuts and program elimination, here in Wisconsin work is quietly ongoing to craft budget plans and programs. Ben Jarboe gets an update on one senator's perspective and objectives. Senator Brad Pfaff grew up in agriculture and was temporary Secretary of Agriculture at WDATCP. He explains to Jarboe what his targets are for agriculture policy and programs moving forward with big emphasis on rural healthcare and more domestic use of products.We've got a little bit of everything coming to Wisconsin weatherwise this week. Stu Muck breaks down what clothes you'll need to stay warm. Sandy Madland is a first generation dairy farmer that shares her voice on the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin board of directors. Madland farms outside of Lyndon Station but grew up in the West Allis area - removed from agriculture. She tells Charitee Seebecker about the ongoing programs farmers and consumers may notice that elevate awareness of Wisconsin dairy including the current campaign with the WIAA sporting events. Paid for by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. Most of us plan and look forward to retirement, but that may not be the case for farmers. Their identity is tied with the farm, the livestock, the daily tasks they perform and it can be tough to decouple from all that. Stephanie Hoff takes a closer look at how to deal with those challenges, and what options might work with University of Missouri Extension Farm Transition Specialist Wesley Tucker. Tucker was a guest at the Professional Dairy Producers annual business meeting in Madison. He says he helps explain ways individuals can maintain their identity as a farmer after "retirement" by transitioning to a role as an advisor/coach/mentor. They may even have more value in this position than when they were calling the shots. It's rare for a farmer to be able to let go of the farm completely. From a mental health standpoint, they need to have a sense of purpose with the farm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Army Corps of Engineers may fast-track permits for a contested pipeline project in the Great Lakes and a fossil fuel plant in Superior. The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association updated a policy to now bans transgender students from playing in girls sports. And, there's new state legislation that was introduced that would stop local governments from prohibiting chickens or vegetable gardens on private property.

Finally gonna start to warm up over the next few days! And it's basically the weekend! So let's get after it. Started the morning with the abridged, Pat McCurdy version of the Thursday Song…as he'll be in town tomorrow night at the Alpine Inn. In the news, Delta has offered $30,000 to each passenger on the plane that crashed earlier this week in Toronto. And speaking of plane crashes, there was another deadly collision in Arizona yesterday. Also, the Trump administration has given schools & universities two weeks to eliminate diversity initiatives or risk losing federal funding. Kwik Trip made the Forbes list of the top 100 best large employers. And NASA is now looking at obliterating an asteroid that has a slight chance of striking the Earth.

We let you know what's on TV tonight and we also talked to Office Cora to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715. Plus, it's "Hypothetical Thursday"…where we ask each other hypothetical questions to see what our responses are. Jean's question for Brian was: If you could have one season last all year long, which would it be? Brian asked Jean: If you could only have ONE condiment for the rest of your life, what would it be? It's also "National Love Your Pet Day", "National Muffin Day", and "National Handcuff Day". Had a cool story about a 94 year-old woman who was recently reunited with a man that she saved from drowning when he was just a toddler…64 years ago! Plus, have you ever wondered why some people can remember their dreams(Jean), and some people cannot(Brian)?? There's been a bunch of research on that subject recently and we took a look at the results. And how much would it take for someone to quit their job & travel the world? In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a really bad neighbor, an IVF treatment that went extremely bad, a kid who died after injecting himself with butterfly remains, and a burglar who got caught by a "Home Alone" style booby trap!
