The Economic Disaster of Mass Deportations (Hour 2)
From dairy farming to field work to food processing, no part of America’s food supply would be safe from President-elect Trump if he follows through on promises of mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. We’ll talk to Lincoln Co. dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser about the impact on prices, supplies, safety, and Wisconsin’s $113 billion ag economy. […]
Out of Time to Make Things Right (Hour 2)
Whether it’s Republican legislators suddenly claiming to be bipartisan dealmakers or a congressman who accomplished nothing on the House Agriculture Committee, there’s little that can be said in these final three weeks of the campaign that can un-do two years of choosing to play political games rather than solve problems. We’ll talk to Assembly candidate […]
Discombobricated (Hour 2)
Naturally, with Dan Shafer appearing from The Discombobulation Area, we had to research the etymology of that special word, only to end up down the rabbit hole of early 1800s mock-Latin as a source of humor. Hey, anything for a quick diversion from politics, of which Dan will share aplenty. Also, White House senior advisor […]
Solar Schools (Hour 1)
In this “Best of UpNorthNews Radio,” we offer free advice to Senate candidate Eric Hovde: Don’t attend a Republican fundraiser in his adopted hometown in Orange County, California.

Long Train Runnin’ (Hour 2)
It’s just about harvest time in Wisconsin—and it looks to be another healthy crop for cranberries, in a state that overwhelmingly grows the most. We’ll look at the impact of the industry on the state’s economy. Also, it looks like a Canadian railroad strike won’t happen after all—something that could have had a major impact […]
Tariffs and Trump’s Next Trade War (Hour 2)
If Donald Trump becomes president again, Wisconsin farmers will have to brace for another trade war with China. Trump loves to threaten and impose tariffs, making them sound like some kind of punishment on other countries—but the real impact is a price hike on American consumers and loss of markets for farmers. We’ll talk to […]
Conservatives Against Conservation (Hour 2)
We’ll talk to Lincoln Co. dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser about efforts to protect the valuable farm and land conservation programs that Republicans are hell-bent on slashing. Perhaps we can combine them and let cows graze on the golf courses or other developments that would bulldoze over prime land for farming and recreation? UpNorthNews with Pat […]
Now It’s Baseball Season (Hour 2)
Are sports seasons getting too long? We’ll mark last night’s finale of the hockey season—a Stanley Cup game seven that should signify the start of spring, but we’re already well into the summer storm season! Also, Hans Breitenmoser discusses what’s known and not known about the increased incidence of bird flu being found in dairy […]
We Ask Alice (Hour 2)
Former Alice in Dairyland Julia Nunes joins dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser as we talk about celebrating June Dairy Month. A member of the UW-Stout football coaching staff tells us about the summertime prep about to take place ahead of the fall season. And Chad Holmes previews what he’s talking about on his weekday morning show […]
