FFA Convention Returning To Madison And Inaccruate Reports Tanks Cattle - Heinberg

"Turn it Up" is the theme for the 2025 Wisconsin State FFA Convention.  Thousands of members will gather at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison.  Jill Welke talks to WI State FFA President, Jescey Thompson, about planned convention highlights and the overall mood of the convention.  Thompson says he was always raised to believe that "success breeds success", and thinks that's part of the energy members feel when they get together.

Some severe weather could be making its way to Wisconsin today.  Stu Muck focuses on some of the cells developing that could produce not only rain, but a thunderstorm.

Tractor enthusiasts, especially those fond of John Deere, are getting ready to swarm the Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center mid-June.  Pam Jahnke finds out about the history of the Classic Green Reunion from Sheila Everhart, executive director of the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association.  She's helping highlight the educational programs that are scheduled, as well as the unique combination of the county's dairy breakfast being held at the same facilities.

Uncertainty that's been created over tariff's is again influencing the markets.  John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing, joins Pam Jahnke to explain which commodities are feeling the pinch. He also highlights an inaccurate social media post that tanked cattle prices on Monday.  The false report claimed screwworm had been located in the U.S.  After the U.S. Department of Agriculture called out the inaccuracies, the market started to reset but is still at a discount this morning.
