June is a pivotal time for grain markets. Long-range weather outlooks for July and August can make or break a farming operation, and grain markets are often most volatile during these months.  In addition to providing rain and temperature forecasts for the next 30 days, we'll assess the current progress of the growing season and look for stressors across the country that could impact grain prices moving forward. Analyze how past weather events have moved the markets during the summer and provide the latest long-range forecasts through the end of the growing season. Learn how to forecast excessive heat and drought. More details can be found at  http://pdpw.org/programs_and_events.php#event_link_275

Ron and Jill Riehle have been dairy farming since the early 1990s.  In 1997 they converted 60 grazeable acres of hayfields to managed pastures on which they now run their 70 Holsteins and 20 bred heifers.  This farm is all sod, no row crops. The pastures don't require reseeding due to the high level of management and are never tilled.  Contact William at  william.kolodziej@co.marathon.wi.us for more information.
