The weather outside is nasty, with a spring blizzard hitting our coverage area and causing nearly all of the region's schools to close for the day. We made it through, though, talking about the latest in Wisconsin's hemp production and about the Midwest Horse Fair -- along with the usual fare of markets and news.
