The word this hour to text in is green.
G R E E N. All right.
He is the president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union.
Darren Van Ruden is here.
Good morning, Darren.
How you doing?
Thanks for joining us.
Well, today, Darren is a liberation day.
According to President Donald Trump, it's when he's going to announce which tariffs he is going to be implementing or not implementing or that's there seems to be a whole lot of back and forth about how much or we're not or we are or.
I am curious what you are hearing from your members, Darren, as the president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union about these tariffs.
And what what are you hearing from folks?
Yeah,
We don't know what's going to happen at one o'clock this afternoon.
We don't know what's going to happen at midnight, but it's probably going to be different than what it was right now.
Yeah.
So, you know, just total frustration, you know,
farmers have built markets in other countries for decades now and that could all be wiped away by midnight tonight with all that work that we've done.
Then we're going to have to start all over trying to build those relationships back up.
And anytime that you have a bad actor in any situation, it's really hard to build those relationships back up.
So, you know, the fear is is that
the president's going to follow through with his word, and we're going to see tariffs on everything except for a few things that he might see as a necessity to hold on to his base.
And, you know, reality is that every single product that we get in from foreign countries, whether it's agriculture products or car parts affects what we do here in this country.
And so how do we, you know, continue some normalcy?
I think we had it pretty good back in October, November last year compared to where we're at today.
No doubt.
And as we talked about before, Darren, it's not just farmers who hate uncertainty.
Businesses hate uncertainty.
Wall Street hates uncertainty.
Customers don't enjoy it
either.
Yeah, it's just it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
And you mentioned the potential carve outs.
And I have seen some articles.
just in the last couple of days with some Republican lawmakers now going to the president saying, yeah, I know you're going to institute terrorists, but could you not do it to our guys?
Because, as you said, trying to keep the base happy, but this is going to have widespread ramifications.
And we've talked with you in the past about once you lose a market, they go someplace else.
Right customers go
go customers go somewhere else where they don't have to worry about this kind of uncertainty
Yeah after the 2018 trade wars Brazil, Argentina picked up about 80% of the market that we lost in China In the soybean industry here going from the upper midwest and so you know we've been
with trying to find new stuff, it certainly hasn't helped trying to re-figure that equation out because there isn't as big a market around the world as there is in China.
So once you lose a huge market like that and those percentages, we're going to be digging for a while yet.
And certainly there's some innovative stuff going on in this country that
could help with that, but that's five, 10 years down the road.
It isn't anything that's going to help that farmer that's struggling to pay his fertilizer bills, his chemical bills, just paying for land rent even is getting to be an issue right now.
And I think that's one of the other issues that you just mentioned is we're talking five, 10 years down the road.
People think that there are people out there who
think the tariffs are the the end all be all solution that they think well we took tariff in there and manufacturing will just start tomorrow and new
farmers going to come back to America
farmers will start farming tomorrow perfectly and new farm and everything will be fixed immediately when that's not the case even in the best case scenario you're looking at two three five ten years down the road for
And as we, I think we talked about yesterday, you gotta do like environmental impact studies.
You have to look at land.
Is the land available?
Can you grow anything?
Can you build on it?
And that takes time.
And tariffs are not gonna create the solution all of a sudden.
It's just going to make it harder for everyone.
And, you know, looking at just the ability to build a building, you know, you got to have contractors that are available.
You got to have people that can run the forklifts, people that can run the bulldozers, people that can, you know, do this, the big cranes that are needed to run that.
And, you know, those folks are out there, but they also have jobs that they're at, right?
now today.
So that stuff is going to take a year just to get lined up.
Then you're looking at two to three years, especially if you want to build a larger facilities to accommodate some of the needs that, you know, the average citizen thinks it's just there because it's in the Walmart shopping bag or at the at the local car dealership.
Those things all take a long time to get there.
And so building an industry, it doesn't happen overnight.
It's going to take
months, but most likely years.
If you're just joining us, Darren Von Ruden is our guest.
He is the president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union, and we are talking tariffs.
President Trump will be holding a conference at one o'clock in the Rose Garden, which I don't think has any roses anymore, but he's expected to announce widespread tariffs.
You had mentioned fertilizer, Darren, and we had talked about this not too long ago about potash, which comes specifically from what I understand.
from Canada, and that is used as a fertilizer.
And someone had texted in and said, oh, stop it, farmers use manure for fertilizer.
Get over it with the potash.
So can you please explain the difference?
I apologize.
I called it potash.
Potash is a fertilizer that's used mainly on alfalfa fields, but it's also used in corn and soybeans.
And the vast majority of it is coming from Canada right now.
We do produce a little bit here in the United States.
There's been some talk over the past decade about building another facilities or two here in the U.S.
to kind of meet that demand.
That hasn't happened, so we're still really dependent on Canada to get those tonnages.
Well, a month ago, I suppose it was now during the last round of tariff talk, the president did take the duties off of potash.
So farmers are probably not going to be looking at that $100 per ton additional costs that we would have been if that was still having the tariff put on it.
Well, and somebody might be listening, I think, well, $100, that's nothing.
Farmers work on really slim margins, don't they?
So, you know, looking at that extra $100 a ton, the average farmer probably would have had say, well, maybe we're only going to put two thirds on what we normally do because we got to stay within that budget barrier that we have, which is the maximum dollars that we feel we can spend.
And so you've got to, you know, really look at that and putting less on means less yield, which then ultimately
could mean less for the consumer out there, but, you know, and just the comment about manure.
Yes, here in the state of Wisconsin, we have the dairy industry and the beef industry.
So we do have a lot of manure to apply on our fields that takes care of some of that.
But when you look at what's going on in the Dakotas and Nebraska and Kansas, they don't necessarily have that manure available.
So their option is potash.
And, you know, it depends on where you're at in the country and what type of agriculture is surrounding your communities.
Thank you for the clarification.
I
appreciate that.
I really hope that the individual who posted that is listening because it's an important distinction to make.
Well, and this is why we bring on people like you who are actually hands-on involved in these industries.
Greg and I like to say we are adjacent to a lot of experts.
We're lawyer adjacent, we're farmer adjacent, we're plumber adjacent.
You know, we bring in people who do what we're talking about.
We're smart people adjacent.
Yes, smart people adjacent, exactly.
That's why Darren Van Ruden is here, the president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union.
We're just about ready to go to break, Darren.
When we come back, we will talk about yesterday's election results, also the Wisconsin State Budget and the Joint Finance Committee.
The Joint Finance Committee is holding meetings.
No, they're not.
They are so.
people can go.
Whether or not they're going to listen to you is a whole other issue.
We will talk about that when we get back on the other side.
Stay close.
You are listening to Matt Nair on air.
This is the Civic Media Radio Network.
We'll be right back.
Good morning and welcome back to Natanair on air.
Jane Natanair, Greg Bach, Calvitini on the board coming to you from our studio at Radio Park in Racine.
Join us, call or text at 855-752-4842.
Leave a comment if you're watching on the live stream on Facebook, YouTube and what used to be Twitter.
It is underway.
Get your phone.
Open up the Civic Media app.
Go to that little text button on the right hand side and text in the word green.
I was gonna say pop.
Pottash, but no, that's not it.
It's green.
The word is green, G-R-E-E-N.
Text in the word green for $100 in cash.
It is our statewide break into spring text to win contest this hour.
We are playing for 100 bucks.
So text in that word green, G-R-E-E-N.
You have until noon.
You can do it just like Tiffany in River Falls.
We got Tony.
We have DJ in Madison, Carolyn in Heartland.
I'm waiting to see someone from Butternut just because knowing Butternut Wisconsin exists just makes me happy.
So text in the word green, G-R-E-E-N.
And then again, everyone who enters will be in the drawing for that great grand prize.
Our guest is Darren Von Ruden.
He is the president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union.
Darren, I'm curious about your reactions from yesterday's election.
Judge Susan Crawford defeating Brej Schimmel for the spot on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and Jill Underly hanging on to her job over Brittany Kinzer as the head of Wisconsin's Department of Public Instruction.
Yeah, certainly, you know, in spring court race there means that the natural resources, especially water in the states of Wisconsin is going to be protected under that new court that will be seen.
They won't have to worry about
Well, so that I worry about water polluters, but it's less likely that they're going to get a free ride to do what they want to do.
And,
you
But just also the common sense and then, you know, with what happened in the last two weeks with Elon Musk and really the corruption that's taken place by, you know, they're not really buying boats, but they're buying boats anytime that you run a program like that.
really disgusting really.
So I think that was assigned to not only non-musk but the administration that Wisconsinites especially are going to put up with it.
So thank you to the citizens of the state of Wisconsin.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And we talked about this most of the hour last hour, Darren.
And I agree with you.
I think that
This was across the board.
This was across political lines as far as Wisconsinites saying, yeah, you have a whole bunch of money.
Great, you're the richest man in the world.
Stay out of it.
You don't belong here.
And I just think the quote that I heard yesterday from a reporter talking to someone here, she said, that Elon Musk just kind of ruffled my feathers, which I think is so Wisconsin, and I think that really is accurate.
I do.
Yeah, yeah, you know, and certainly looking at how do we as the morality of the states, you know, I think took about five jumps up over the last week and a half here, which is probably number one reason why the numbers were the way they are.
So we just have to keep that up.
We have to make sure that we're holding people accountable for the actions that they do.
And I know one of the biggest comments that I heard, you know, why does he use those dollars to feed
the poor, you know, the $100 million that we spent on that campaign, probably couldn't have been done for less than 10 million.
And the other 90 million could have been used for a lot better causes.
There are so many things that could be fixed by that amount of money.
It's a sin.
It
really is.
It's a sin.
I think that, you know, one thing that
when we talk about programs that are put on by the federal government, one of the things they'll say is, well, we should let private institutions and private people, like private donors handle food bank programs and help these organizations, let the private sector do it.
Yeah, the private sector is too busy trying to buy elections.
So when Elon isn't forking over $100 million to help Americans, the country he says he loves so much,
We got to get the money somewhere else and that and that has to be partnerships with the federal government
Well, and Darren you were saying it's really important that people make their voices heard We're gonna have a chance people the joint finance committee, which just loves to sit on money
It gets appropriated.
It gets approved.
And then when it comes time to dole it out, the JFC says, yeah, no, we're not going to do that.
Jayne, it's like wine.
You got to let that money age.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, or like a good cheese.
Age it in a barrel.
The Joint Finance Committee will be meeting several times next week, including in Eau Claire, also in Wisconsin Dells.
We have Monacoa.
We will include this in our show notes if you would like to attend.
And again, I think it's a great opportunity to get involved, folks.
The fight is only beginning.
And we need to keep, we need to keep showing up and showing out.
So, so evidently, they have come up with some new meeting dates to the latest that Wisconsin Farmers Unit has got.
There's actually one happening today in Kokona.
Oh, and another one on Friday down in the urn of the Woods Bay Stylist at the State Fair Park.
At State Fair Park.
Yeah, yep, yep.
Then the list I got the next one is not until Monday, April 28th at the Hayward High School in Tuesday, April 29th at North Central Technical College in, in Wausau.
Those are the four dates that I've got, but if you've got more, that's great.
It's better to get more than less.
You know what though, Darren?
That just makes me wonder if they're not changing their minds at the last minute going, yeah, we were going to show up here.
Let's go on the other side of the state just in case this feels like a town hall.
Yeah, right.
Let's not do we don't want to really talk to these people.
whether or not they do anything with what they hear is another thing.
But I still think it's important that we take part in this process and be involved.
just so they know that people are watching.
Yep.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and some of that WFU, Wisconsin Farmers Union, really like to see talked about at these is the Wisconsin Local Food Purchasing Program.
LFPA has been something that's two years in the making.
Certainly the COVID pandemic has kind of spurred it a little bit, but it's brought
just about $4.18 million into rural Wisconsin in its existence.
There was a lot of federal dollars.
There's nothing coming from federal right now.
So if we want to keep our local food systems, let's look at the Wisconsin LFPA program.
Darren Von Ruden joins us the first Wednesday of the month.
He's the president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union.
Thank you so much, Darren.
Really,
appreciate it.
We'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Old commercials that you still miss.
855-752-4842.
We'll go to Mark in Prairie DuSac.
Good morning, Mark.
What are you thinking about?
Yeah, well, this one might be a little too woke, but I can remember that old one from the Jewish Chakot Tugas Society.
that when you hate who, who do you hurt the most?
And there's that little figure coming at you.
As I got closer and closer to you, you could see the face getting redder and redder and redder, the hair getting yellower and yellower.
And, uh, at the end of it, they've just exploded.
And I can just think of Donald Trump,
uh,
in that commercial, that it was just, uh, pretty profound.
It was against hatred and, um, and, uh, it was probably, we'll see him dead anti-Semitism, but it could be aimed at any hatred toward anybody.
that you hurt the most and you hate.
Yep, absolutely.
Thanks a lot, Mark.
Appreciate that.
We got one on the live stream.
King Rat says, the old Coke commercial was singing about buying the world a Coke.
I'd like
to teach
the world to sing in perfect harmony.
To
have me from Eau Claire texting in, where's the beef?
Yep.
the little old lady from Wendy's.
Oh my gosh, that was huge.
That was huge.
Tony, the trucker, Jane, all the Miller Lite ads featuring all the celebrities of sports back in the late 70s and early 80s, especially the ones with you.
Oh yeah, the ones with Bob Uker were priceless.
Shizu on the live stream says the Tootsie Pop.
Oh, one, two.
Three crunch with the owl.
Yep.
It takes three licks to get to the tutorial center of a to see probably now we're just doing Advertisement for
companies.
We're talking about old ads that you remember and that you miss 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 Jim from Brookfield is joining us.
Good morning, Jim.
What you got?
Good morning, um, p.f.
Liars the tennis you by yeah
that was advertised on Johnny Quest and after those commercials as a young kid I would go outside and run in my PF flyers and it would feel like I was running on the air but I missed those commercials but mostly I missed my youth.
Yeah, all I hear that, Jim.
I remember that P.F.
Liar commercial, and you really did think you could run faster and jump higher if you were wearing P.F.
Liars.
Do you like P.F.
Liars?
Do you like Converse?
Do you have no regard for your ankles or feet at all?
Wear these shoes.
They'll destroy you by the time you're fifth.
They hurt.
So, plus, I have huge feet.
They make me look like I'm wearing clown shoes.
I love those shoes so much.
I can't wear
them.
Sorry.
What commercials do you miss 855-752?
4842.
I know somebody just texted this in.
Calvin, let us play clip number two, please, that we've got on the line here.
Oh, yeah.
Ladies.
Calgon take me away was huge.
Oh, yeah.
And I can remember the woman in the back of the limousine and then she would push a button and this bathtub would appear in the back of the limousine and she would take a bath as one does.
Yeah, that's
what happens with your cocaine in a
work session.
In the back of her limo with Calgon, which was taking her away.
PJ on the live stream asks a very good question because this occurred to me like 10 years ago.
Why is ring around the collar not a thing anymore that whisk?
Whisk detergent they made it seem like ring around the collar was just below communism taking over America
I'm pretty sure it still exists.
Yeah, but you're right.
We don't hear about that at all anymore I got ring around the cow.
I don't know take a shower Ollie from the Northwoods is joining us.
Good morning.
Ollie.
What do you want to say about the commercials that you
miss?
cream, a little dab will do ya.
A little dab will do ya.
For that nice greased back look.
Yes.
Right?
It was very slick.
It was very slick.
Look, thanks, Ollie.
That's great.
You want to be a T-bird?
Yeah.
Brian from Milwaukee is on the line.
Good morning, Brian.
Yeah, there's two that I think of being an 80s and 90s kid.
I remember the Welch's grade commercials with the little girl.
How'd they make your lips smack?
Yep.
Yup.
The other one I think of is the, uh, big net commercial from, uh, McDonald's.
I can't remember how
the
song.
Uh, it's
special sauce.
We could have done that together, Jane, but you were trying to outdo me.
We weren't practiced.
Okay.
Uh, there was another Brian, you bring up a, cause I'm an 80s and 90s kid as well.
There was another commercial for Mott's apple sauce where this kid was like playing less.
If he was like a, you know, you got the Mott's and it was like a.
a gangster deal going down, like, yeah, I got
the much.
It's like
the enforcer.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, you got the much.
Yeah.
Oh, you get your sister back at the corner of 51st and 7th.
Old commercials that we miss.
855-752-4842.
Leave a comment if you're watching on the live stream, on Facebook, YouTube, and what used to be Twitter.
Jack from Mirameck.
I really enjoyed the Hams beer bear commercials.
They were so great.
From the land of sky blue.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Another one.
Plop plop fizz fizz.
Oh, what a
relief it
is.
Absolutely.
What else?
We had another commercial we could play here.
Oh.
Calvin can we play?
Can we play these fourth one?
Can you help me stop those ladies from squeezing Charmin bathroom tissue?
I reckon I can.
Now you women folk.
I didn't write it.
But Charmin's so soft.
Irresistible.
It's deep down squeezable softness.
It smells good too.
Please don't squeeze the Charmin.
Be out of town by sundown.
He's squeezing the charm at the end, folks.
There was a coffee commercial I came across that Jane said absolutely
no.
No, it was so, it was so retro.
So sexy.
No, retro.
No, sexist
is the word you're
looking for.
Yes.
Where the guy's whole existence was, my wife can't make a cup of coffee.
I'm
going to work.
Yeah, I'm leaving now.
It was amazing.
It was for fulgers.
I love this one.
Sarah from Green Bay, the life serial commercial with Mikey.
Which never made sense to me, because Life Serial was one of the best serials.
Life Serial was great.
Yeah, I really, really... But it was nobody wants to try it, nobody wants to try Life Serial.
Let's give it to Mikey.
He'll eat anything.
Yeah, I ate tons of Life Serial.
So did we.
Jules from East Troy, Martini and Rossi imported Bermuth on the rocks.

Charlie Tudor.
Oh, yeah.
Or here's a clan.
And the other one was.
Lady's hands watching dick through.

and
getting rid of the rubber glove.
Yeah,
dishpan hands.
Oh,
dishpan hands.

This is the Eason Down the Road edition.
This time brought to you by the New York Post, that bastion of journalistic integrity.
Caitlin McCormick with the byline, the headline reads, new wavy road lines to curb speeding in Pennsylvania perplexes residents.
Quote, it felt like a roller coaster.
Unquote, unquote.
A Pennsylvania town painted curved.
Road lines down a residential street in a traffic calming initiative that they hope is gonna do something about reckless driving Any residents were left wondering if police would think they were drunk if they followed the new squiggly lines We're gonna include this in the show notes.
There's a picture of it seems like it looks it's a terrible idea Oh, it's not it's not a I thought at first I thought that this feels like an April Fool's joke
Montgomery Township, just outside of Philadelphia, has new curvy lines down Gray's Lane, complete with curb extensions.
Officials in a statement on Facebook said these traffic calming measures are being installed due to the numerous complaints concerns we have about residents about the speedway this street has become.
Despite the good intentions, locals say they don't understand why anyone thinks this is a good plan.
This is not the design to go to.
There are other options out there, says resident Mike DeLorenzo.
I think they should have gone another way.
Another resident said, I think speed bumps would have done a lot more to slow people down on this road in particular.
Many residents said that they are now ignoring the lines entirely and driving down the road like they always have.
Others joking that the crew must have been drunk when they painted the
lines.
We've seen traffic calming measures throughout this Milwaukee's, especially getting them, but you know what people who'd want to drive?
How are they want to drive?
They ignore the traffic comics.
You're not going to
drive.
They'd be like, at the very worst, they're going to pretend they're in a race.
Yeah.
Uh, this, I don't know how well thought this, uh, well thought out.
This was, if you were to drive like that down the street and follow the lines, the police would think you were drinking and driving and pull you over.
Looks like you guys gave creative license to a class of kindergartners.
Even kindergarteners would be like this is weird.
That's you don't do that I thought it looked a little crazy when I saw the guys do it this morning But it makes sense to me says the outlier resident because people are always going way too fast There's down this street.
A lot of people thought it was an early April fools joke There's
always one guy in the neighborhood who's like that seems like a good idea.
Okay, Steven.
They did have to confirm that this is a legitimate precaution squiggly lines instead of
Squiggly yellow lines down the middle of the street in Pennsylvania.
I think we're gonna have to keep up and see if there's an update on this one like They repaint them like Pennsylvania worker gets fired for wavy lines scheme.
Yeah, exactly that wraps up today's
edition of This shouldn't be a thing Coming up on the show tomorrow Andrew Watkins is going to be back.
