Cleansing Paletes At World Cheese And Where Are Dairy Prices Healthiest
For farm gals, or any woman that appreciates rural Wisconsin - it's time to take a break. Before spring planting kicks into gear and the kids are out of school, the community of Plover is offering Savor & Sow - a weekend agventure retreat. Pam Jahnke talks to organizer, Malorie Paine, about why they developed the option and who they partnered with.
There's more to judging cheese than meets the eye. Jill Allen is a cheese judge that came from Tillamook Cheese in Oregon to help at the World Champion Cheese event. She says she cleanses her palate between samples with sparkling water, but every judge is different. She also says it doesn't take her long sampling an entry before she knows if it's a winner.
Wisconsin, of course, is hoping for the title at the world event. Steve Stetler would love to see that. He's a Master Cheesemaker at Decatur Dairy in Brodhead and his Muenster curds topped the Open Class at the event. He talks to Charitee Seebecker about why the event's so special.
They may not officially be in session, but work continues on policy that could impact agriculture. Stephanie Hoff gets an overview with Jordan Lamb from the Welch Group on where she's channeling her energy.
Matt Tranel from EverAg in Platteville joins Pam Jahnke for an update on what news is driving dairy markets. Buyers are sitting still with these lower prices, and dairy producers should be signing up for a guaranteed payback on the Dairy Margin Coverage Program.
