Webinar Explains New Alfalfa Insurance For Losses In Crop And Pocketbock

from MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON · host Pam Jahnke

There's a new crop insurance product out that America's Dairyland producers might want to consider.  Beth Nelson, president of the National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance explains the high value of alfalfa as a stand-alone crop to the nation's farmers.  Yet, despite that value, the crop rates very low on engagement with current crop insurance products.  That's hopefully changing with a new insurance product that allows farmers to protect against not only volume loss, but market value loss.  Nelson explains that there's a special webinar explaining the options tomorrow. Foggy start to a Monday morning with some rain on the way for the WI State Fair.  Stu Muck paints the picture. It's the time of the year when classic tractor collectors feel comfortable bringing their treasure pieces out of storage.  Larry Lee caught up with some old iron enthusiasts at the Rudolph Classic Tractor Show.  They explain why the passion for the tractors and the stories they represent remains strong. Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin has multiple engagement locations around the WI State Fairgrounds. Stephanie Hughes, dairy producer from Pittsville and board member of DFW explains to Pam Jahnke why the event's so important.  Hughes says from the practical information shared in the barns, to the dairy product highlight elevated in the Blue Ribbon Dairy Product Auction, you only see it all at the WI State Fair.  Paid for by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
