From Hives to Herds -Honeybees, Dairy Goats, and Milk Production Trends

MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

Some of the hardest working animals are honeybees. Jill Wielke is joined by Jon Logterman of the WI Honey Producers Association to shed some light on how these worker bees are doing.

The American Dairy Goat Association is hosting its national convention in Wisconsin for the first time since 2006. It'll be October 19-25 at the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva. Association Vice President Anna Thompson Hajdik joins Stephanie Hoff to highlight the dairy goat heritage.

Matt Tranel, broker Analyst with Ever.Ag joins Charitee Seebecker to discuss the slight decrease in milk production in Wisconsin. This decline is attributed to regional issues like heat stress across the Upper Midwest as well as bird flu outbreaks. These factors contributed to a notable tightness in milk supply, impacting the broader market. Despite these challenges, there is some indication of production rebounding in key dairy states.
