Mid-west Farm Report - Madison

Rain looks like it will be here to stay for a few days according to ag meteorologist Stu Muck. Warmer weather gives the feeling of summer right around the corner and one staple of the summer is bees. Jill Welke chats with Galen Klisiewicz, the Director of the Chippewa Valley Beekeepers, to see why it has been a bit tough in recent times. Farmers are constantly looking to get the most out of their operation and for dairy farms that might mean carbon credits. Stephanie Hoff talks with Jennifer Block, the director of value chain partnerships with Edge Dairy Cooperative, to see how their EmPower+ program can help farmers get more out of their carbon credits. Ben Jarboe talks with John Heinberg, a market advisor with Total Farm Marketing, to get a preview on upcoming reports and discuss what is happening with cattle. He says today's report may be heavily dictated by fertilizer for planting acres.--See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
