Lincoln County dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser and Sheila Everhart of the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association will fill us in on upcoming fairs, festivals, and farm shows—and they’ll take on the more serious issues of how laws need to be changed to assist farmers who want to diversify their businesses to welcome more visitors and events. Check this link to read a letter of support for overhauling farm private event laws. You can sign a petition here to support "farm stay" camping.

We’ll also visit with Rep. Angela Stroud (D-Ashland) about how she sees the new state budget as part of a larger Republican war against public schools and what she sees as an ongoing struggle to hold elected officials accountable.
