Whole Milk Law Creates Challenges For Schools Plus Romanski Honored At UWRF

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

Immigration enforcement continues to be an issue that Wisconsin farms and agribusinesses are monitoring.  Sam Moheban, immigration specialist and attorney at Wausau based, Ruder Ware law firm says things are changing.  Moheban tells Pam Jahnke that instead of focusing on raids, which are expensive and require a lot of staff, ICE is pivoting to enfocement through paperwork.  Specifically Moheban says they are reviewing I-9 forms.  These are the forms all employers use to verify that their employees can legally be employed.  Moheban says now, if there's an error found on that paperwork, employers can be fined immediately.  He also says that the government can now serve notice of inspection via certified mail or personal service on any business in the country. Severe weather starts off our Monday.  Stu Muck says there's a tornado warning in effect for a chunk of south central Wisconsin this morning with gusty storms on the way. Wisconsin dairy farmers had been hoping to restore whole milk to the school lunch program. That finally happened in January when the "Whole Milk For Healthy Kids" was signed into law.  Kiley Allan talks with Darren VonRuden, president of the WI Farmers Union, about the struggles schools are facing finding the whole milk.  VonRuden says the milk is out there, it just needs to find its way to the correct processing line. WI Ag Secretary, Randy Romanski, has been honored as the 2026 Distinguished Agriculturist by UW-River Falls.  Pam Jahnke reports. Spring is a busy time on Wisconsin farms.  Stephanie Hoff takes a visit to Eugsters Farm Market in Stoughton to investigate what's new.  She finds Kat Eugster very busy with new baby lambs, goats and other farm babies.  Eugster explains how the tempo picks up with round the clock care.  Eugsters is also in the process of developing a vineyard they'll be opening in 2027.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
