Description

The 98th National FFA Convention wrapped up on Saturday, but the duties of the new national officer team are just beginning!  Jill Welke caught up with the new crew and found out a little about their backgrounds and how they arrived on this grand stage.

More sunshine on the way today, but you better enjoy it.  Stu Muck says the windy conditions today will bring in clouds and rain potential for Thursday.

The harvest is in the home stretch.  In this week's Wyffels Wednesday, Ben Jarboe talks with Brant Smith, District sales manager for Winnebago, Boone, and McHenry counties in Northern Illinois.  Their online harvest tool has become very popular with farmers and agribusiness partners with the absence of USDA official reports.  Smith says that yields aren't record breaking but they are consistent.  Paid for by Wyffels Hybrids.

Wisconsin's DATCP announced yesterday that they will revise proposed fee increases on the states livestock marketing system.  Randy Romanski, DATCP Secretary says this conclusion was reached after a lot of public input.

This weekend Wisconsin's honey producers will get together in Neenah.  Kiley Allan says the buzz this year is the disruption that weather caused on hive management.  She talks to WI Honey Producer Association President, Tracy Malterer from Iron Ridge.  Malterer says the rain in spring washed out the nectar bees were looking for in blooms.  Then the summer became exceptionally dry, making available food sources scarce.  Malterer says Wisconsin toggles between 9th and 11th place nationally, and she's guessing this year they'll slip down.
