We had a great Neighbor-to-Neighbor event last week at Larry Wathke's farm!
Feeling bummed you missed out? Join us for our next Neighbor-to-Neighbor event at Tim Schultz’s farming operation in the Wisconsin Dells on Tuesday, November 12th! See photo for details.
Day one of Farm Tech Days was a success! We got to see so many familiar and new faces, and we even got a visit from @Alice_Dairyland . Alice’s booth is right next to ours, so now there’s even more reason to stop by and say hi!
Today is the day! Farm Technology Days has started and we are so excited to see you! We have lots of cool assistive technology for you to check out, as well as an opportunity for you to win a pair of ear muffs! Come see us in the Rural Events Center tent, booth #121.
NCSRP has their summer research meeting in Wisconsin this week. Yesterday @WISoyCheckoff hosted farmers from the 13 states, that represent ~82% of US soybean production! That you Crave Brothers @JHenryBourbon for your incredible hospitality and stories & @WiscWeeds@BadgerLuck
Beautiful day for some BIG UAV testing here at the Arlington Ag. Research Station. Collecting some never before seen data. Stay tuned for results this fall.

Spring has sprung in Wisconsin! I had a nice couple of days getting research plots planted. Got alfalfa/corn interseeding done and soybean white mold plots 1/2 done. 2-3 more days and everything should be in the ground. .@UWMadisonCALS .@badgercropdoc
