Dairy Drop Has Producers Reacting - Ryan Yonkman - a podcast by MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

There was a time when every community had a blacksmith, and their work was focused on utility.  Today's blacksmith's still focus on utility and function, but there's also a certain art to what they do.  Bob Bosold visits with Craig Trnka at the Midwest Horse Fair.  Trnka is CEO, World Championship Blacksmiths, LLC.  He explains how blacksmithing has evolved and how it's attracting a younger audience of new recruits.

Most Wisconsinites know a good cheese curd squeaks and there really needs to be a string quality, to string cheese.  What can we do to extend that squeak, or make that string even more enjoyable?  Carrie Mess visits with graduate student, Maggie Becher, about her work within the Center for Dairy Research to enhance those qualities.  She says if we can extend that squeak and enhance that string - Wisconsin cheesemakers can broaden their geographic reach and capitalize on the snack food arena.

Dairy farmers have had their breath taken away by the rapid decline in cheese and milk prices. Ryan Yonkman with EverAg tells Pam Jahnke what he sees impacting today's prices, and his perspective on the outlook.
