Salentine Is The New Fairest And Whey Sales Are Booming - Windecker

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

UW Corn Specialist Hurkat Kuar is 5 months into her new position as Wisconsin's UW-Extension Corn Specialist. She's a native of India, but she's very happy to be in Wisconsin serving farmers. She talks to Jill Welke about her goals, initially, for some of her research. One area she's focused on is silage corn, and she says that Wisconsin farmers have been happy to hear of that direction.

Winds pick up a little today in Wisconsin, but Stu Muck says the ag weather stays dry. Not much snow in the short term forecast.

Last night 33 candidates that hoped to be the ambassador for all fairs in Wisconsin found out who would hold the post. Charitee Seebecker introduces us to Melanie Salentine. She's a 21 year old student at St. Norbert College who found her passion for fairs at a young age in Kewaunee County.

LaNina is a big influence on the weather the upper midwest is experiencing. Mace Michaels, a staff meteorologist with Severe Studios Radio Network, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, says patterns don't bring a lot of moisture to the upper midwest now, but he doesn't believe that will lead to a drought.

Bryce Windecker of EverAg is a dairy farmer himself in New York state. He talks with Pam Jahnke about the snow they've received so far, and how they're managing. He also focuses on how the new calendar year has begun with international sales, and overall milk production.
