Wisconsin dairy farmers, cheese makers and dairy processors continue to evaluate the international marketplace for opportunities. Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin helps them pursue those opportunities. Chad Vincent, CEO of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin says despite tariff talk, demand for Wisconsin's specialty cheeses, as well as things like dried milk, keep finding favor in the international marketplace. Vincent says continuing to focus on that arena is critical since approximately 95% of the global population is outside the United States. Making sure that industry partners understand what influences Wisconsin dairy is part of the mission of Ben Miller's work. He's the Senior Vice President of Industry Relations for Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. His job is to make sure wherever there's questions about Wisconsin dairy - informational and educational resources are there. From helping lawmakers understand the needs of the dairy industry, to supplying food distributors stories about Wisconsin dairy - Miller's there to help. He stresses that DFW is not allowed to lobby, but providing education and information helps everyone. ‘Born to Dairy’ is one new campaign that was launched during World Dairy Expo that should help everyone see themselves as a part of Wisconsin dairy. With the creative help of Charlie Berens, the campaign highlights the different styles of Wisconsin dairy farmers that help drive the industry. Berens says he's always intrigued by the different sizes, styles and types of dairies that he visits in Wisconsin. He loves the products, but he really loves the stories behind the products. He tells Pam Jahnke about what it took to help pull the stories together, and what he's looking forward to going forward. Forget Hollywood casting. The “Born to Dairy” campaign stars real Wisconsin farmers, families, and dairy community members, from DFW board members to Professional Dairy Producers (PDP) to the 78th Alice in Da­­iryland.

Everybody's bucket list looks a little bit different. For Tina Vilter, World Dairy Expo 2025 took one major item off her bucket list - being a judge. Kiley Allan visits with the Waukesha native about how she's grown up in the dairy industry always admiring the physique of the dairy cow. Vilter started doing visual evaluation and explaining her position while helping her dad milk their Guernsey herd. In 2025 she found herself on the colored shavings at center ring, not on the lead of an animal, but finally as a judge.Another cool start to our Thursday but more sun on the way.

In rural Wisconsin, resources are few and needs may be great. Rebout says he's extremely grateful for his farming family , both genetically and through the extended farm family in associations and organizations. His message - keep talking, sharing and searching. Don't give up. Paid for by Rural Mutual Insurance.Iowa Senator, Chuck Grassley, says there are more questions than answers when it comes to federal aid heading out to the nation's soybean growers. Grassley says if the administration's talking about $10-15 billion, they need to remember the Commodity Credit Corporation only has about $4 billion in its coffers. That means Congress would have to step in and provide a big chunk of the discussed aid. With the government shut down, not much is happening anytime soon. The U.S. is back on the offensive when it comes to marketing dairy globally. Jenny Wackershauser from the Platteville location of EverAg joins Pam Jahnke to discuss what Europe's been doing to jump start their export marketing. Wackershauser says that the EU has experienced rapid growth in summer milk production and they're now undercutting U.S. dairy prices to get sales. Meanwhile with the government shut down, the market is struggling to find new information that's reliable to trade on. Wackershauser says the same thing happened in 2018, and the market traded sideways. Without holiday demand to help give guidance, this market may stay stalled.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
