7-Part Plan Focused On Agriculter & National Security - Plus "Demo Derby" Ice Cream

Wisconsin Farm Technology Days is Aug. 5-7 at Clinton Farms in Bear Creek. Ruth Trinrud is a dairy farmer near Waupaca. She’s heading up fundraising efforts for this year’s show – the dollars make it possible. Ruth tells Stephanie Hoff that people or businesses are invited to donate money or in-kind equipment, time, and materials. It also takes manpower to run Wisconsin Farm Technology Days – not just during the show itself, August 5-7, but also for set-up and take-down. Sue Aschliman is recruiting volunteers, and she needs 100 people per day. Get in touch with Ruth and Sue at https://www.wifarmtechdays.org/.

Lots of estate sales that are being added to the books at Steffes Auction.  Ashley Huhn tells Pam Jahnke that's not unusual at this time of the year.  He says they are often called in as fuduciary advisors in those situations.  Paid for by Steffes Group.

U.S. Ag Secretary, Brooke Rollins has been added as a member to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).  This is a seven-part plan for addressing agricultural security and protecting national security.  Sam Kieffer, vice president of public policy at the American Farm Bureau Federation explains why its a key move.  Particularly because this group reviews potential sales of partnerships of food companies merging or being acquired by international companies.

July is National Ice Cream month and Cedar Crest Ice Cream has a great way to celebrate.  Stephanie Hoff shares the story of how Cedar Crest has partnered with Wisconsin 4-H clubs statewide to create new flavors each summer.  This year, Shannon Simon with Cedar Crest says you'll be enjoying "Demo Derby" flavored ice cream.
