Good morning Madison! John & Gordy start out strong with the Fabulous Farm Babe, Pam Jahnke! It’s been a relatively quiet stretch on the ag front, though a few notable items are worth mentioning. The Wisconsin Soybean Association put out a statement Friday about the ongoing situation with China, signaling concern over how trade developments could affect soybean exports and pricing here at home. Health care remains a key issue for farm families as well — the Affordable Care Act continues to play an important role for many farmers with children, offering coverage options that might otherwise be out of reach in rural areas.

They quickly pivot to talking about an issue with emergency SNAP/food share funding, expressing frustration that the situation is being handled last-minute.
