New Book Explores Hope & History Of Disappearing Farms

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON ·

2024/09/26

Farm numbers are declining. But Wisconsin author and fourth-generation farmer Brian Reisinger reminds us that not all of these exits are sad stories.

Consolidation of farms has also been a tool to support more family members on a farm or to keep the neighbor's land in production if they exit the business, he says. But are there other factors at play that have reduced farm numbers over the decades

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON ·

2024/09/19

Dairy nutritionist Henry Holdorf, Purina Animal Nutrition, says this year, corn silage is variable due to when you planted your corn. He is noticing lower fiber digestibility, specifically neutral detergent fiber (NDF) digestibility. NDF digestibility is important because it can help determine how well a cow can use feed material, which can positively impact milk production. He advises mixing alternative feed ingredients into the ration or even raising the cutting height as you harvest corn

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON ·

2024/09/19

It's full steam ahead in the field as soybeans mature earlier than expected. This is according to senior grain merchandiser Josh Grunnet out of Cottage Grove. He says they're still clearing out old crop to get ready for what could be a near-record harvest. Unfortunately, the timing of supply -- an early crop -- is a bearish signal. Rapid harvest of a crop also stresses the supply chain-- another bearish sign. And low river levels are raising the cost of transportation.See omnystudio.com/listener for
