Trains, tractors, and trucks
There was a full house for trains, tractors, and trucks last week at the Albertson Memorial Library preschool story time. They compared two books about trucks, one fiction and one non-fiction, and decided that if they want to learn it is best to read a non-fiction book, but if they wanted an imaginative story, it is best to look in the fiction section of the library. The kids also traced the path of the trains, trucks, and tractors to find out where they could be found: the station, farm, or road. Then, most fun of all, they colored a truck, attached paper tires, and had races. Next week is Pirates, Pioneers and Packers Day. They’ll practice tracing skills and make a pioneer toy from a button and some string. As a reminder, they meet every Tuesday at 10 a.m., before the library opens.

Farm Progress Show 2024 highlights innovations and sustainability efforts
The 2024 Farm Progress Show wrapped up another successful year this August, inspiring thousands of attendees with the latest innovations in agriculture. This year’s show continued to focus on sustainability, both in the technologies showcased and in the operations of the event itself. A diverse range of cutting-edge solutions, from AI-powered crop intelligence to regenerative agriculture practices, were showcased to help producers become more efficient, profitable and conscientious in their farming operations.
The educational programming on The Main Stage, located in the Hospitality Tent, focused heavily on responsible usage of natural resources. Sponsored sessions covered a variety of key topics including practical solutions for soil health and conservation, as well as how to secure the future of farmland through careful succession planning. Attendees also had the opportunity to engage in high-level discussions during a congressional round table and hear from officials like Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, who explored how policies such as the Farm Bill will im-
pact the industry’s future. Exhibitors showcased innovative products at this year’s show. The displays included fuel-efficient and soil compaction-reducing combine models, an autonomous grain cart, solar-powered filling stations and electric trucks. Beyond traditional farm equipment, digital direct-to-consumer marketing opportunities and federally recognized prairie conservation programs were featured, rounding out the wide array of resource-efficient products and methods available to farmers.
In addition to highlighting progressive farming practices, the 2024 Farm Progress Show made significant strides in reducing its environmental footprint. A key initiative included placing water refill stations throughout the grounds, saving more than 17,000 water bottles over the three-day show. To complement these stations, infinitely reusable aluminum bottles replaced their traditional plastic counterparts at all food vendors. Reducing waste at the show was another priority – over 3,000 pounds of eligible waste were composted and nearly nine tons of material were recycled and kept out of
landfills.
Supporting the local community is a hallmark of the Farm Progress Show, and this proud tradition continued in 2024. Sixteen local volunteer groups staffed essential areas of the show, from parking lots to info booths. These groups, including local schools, churches and non-profits, are critical to sustaining communities. Their efforts during the Farm Progress Show resulted in nearly $80,000 contributed directly to their organizations.
“We are proud of the advancements in sustainability featured at this year’s show, not only from our exhibitors but in our event operations as well,” said Matt Jungmann, national events director at Farm Progress. “Responsible resource management is at the core of the agricultural industry’s future, and we are thrilled to showcase innovations that help producers implement practical solutions on their farms and in their communities.”
The 2025 Farm Progress Show will be held in Decatur, Illinois, from Aug. 26 to 28, 2025. For more information and updates on next year’s show, visit the official website online at www.FarmProgress-
Show.com.

USDA releases decision on milk pricing reforms
On Nov. 12, USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) released a long-awaited final decision with reforms to pricing formulas used by the Federal Milk Marketing Order system. Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative appreciates the diligent work of AMS staff put forth on the milk pricing reform.
“While not all of our proposals were included in the final decision, and we believe more could have been done to enhance the pricing formula, we are satisfied that the changes do not negatively impact our dairy farmer members,” said Tim Trotter, Edge CEO. “In aggregate, we believe the proposed reform would slightly decrease the minimum regulated price private milk buyers have to pay to pooled milk producers in the Upper Midwest order and would slightly increase the price to producers
in the Central and Mideast orders. In all cases, we expect the impact on milk checks, after accounting for impact to over-order premiums, to be neutral or positive.”
The final version released does not deviate from the proposed decision released in July. The reform highlights of interest to members in the Upper Midwest include:
• Update milk composition factors: true protein from 3.1 to 3.3 percent, and other solids from 5.9 to 6 percent. This change is expected to slightly increase revenue from sales of beverage (Class I) milk to pooled producers. AMS decided not to update butterfat solids, despite rapid growth in butterfat content of milk in recent years. Edge has cautioned AMS and the industry that updating skim milk factors without corresponding increase in butterfat factor will complicate dairy producers hedging programs. Without this important addition, a producer hedging with Class III milk futures or equivalent USDA insurance products may be more exposed to butterfat price risk.
mimics the idea brainstormed by Edge during the hearing, which for procedural reasons was not included in the hearing record. Edge commends AMS for recognizing the importance of risk management as a core consideration in the design of FMMO rules. Edge believes this decision will accelerate innovation in the beverage milk sector and offer further opportunities for Midwest/Mideast dairy producers to serve fluid milk markets across the nation.
• Class I and Class II differentials. Keep the $1.60 base differential and adopt modified location specific Class I differential values. The primary purpose of Class I differentials is to encourage the transportation of beverage milk from surplus to deficit areas. This decision increases the spread between the differentials in the Midwest/Mideast region and the eastern/southeastern U.S., providing additional incentives and opportunities for milk producers in the Midwest/Mideast region to serve deficit coastal markets.
• Removal of 500-pound barrel cheddar cheese from the Dairy Products Mandatory Reporting Program survey. Industry advocates of this removal believe relying solely on 40-pound block cheddar cheese to set the monthly announced cheese price will reduce market distortions and enhance the announced protein price. In its testimony Edge cautioned the industry and the AMS that removing barrels at a time when new cheddar cheese processing capacity is entirely oriented to block cheese risks reducing, rather than enhancing Class III milk price.
• Update the manufacturing allowances: Cheese: from $0.2003 to $0.2519; Butter: from $0.1715 to $0.2272; Nonfat Dry Milk (NFDM): from $0.1678 to $0.2393; and Dry Whey: from $0.1991 to $0.2668. This decision also proposes updating the butterfat recovery factor to 91 percent. The combined direct effect of these changes will be a reduction of Class III price by -$0.91/cwt and of Class IV price by -$0.85/cwt. Edge has consistently advocated for delay in make allowances reform, until costs of processing surveys with mandatory participation can be conducted. Edge has further advocated that make allowances should be based on the cost profile of plants at the technological frontier, rather than passing higher processing costs in older, inefficient cheese plants to dairy farmers.
• The base Class I skim milk price would once again be based on the higher-of the advanced Class III or Class IV skim milk prices for the month. A notable and commendable exception is the introduction of a Class I extended shelf life (ESL) adjustment which would in practice allow ESL milk to continue to be priced under the average-of regime, with a 24-month rolling average adjuster with a 12-month lag. In designing the ESL adjuster, AMS opted for a solution that closely
The draft of the final decision is available at this link: https://www.ams.usda.gov/ rules-regulations/milk-northeast-and-other-marketing-areas-proposed-amendments-marketing-0.
Following the publication of the final decision in the Federal Register, AMS will conduct producer referendums in each of the 11 FMMOs. Producers whose milk was pooled on an FMMO in January 2024 are eligible to participate in the referendum. AMS will mail ballots to eligible independent producers and qualified cooperative associations. Ballots must be postmarked by Dec. 31, 2024, and returned by Jan. 15, 2025, to be counted. If at least two-thirds of the producers or two-thirds of the milk represented in the vote approve of an amended order, AMS will issue a final rule implementing the changes.
Unlike most producers who are members of manufacturing cooperatives, Edge producers who were pooled in January 2024 will have the privilege to decide individually whether to vote to approve or disapprove proposed changes. In making that decision, they should be aware that the decision to disapprove the proposed reforms is a vote to completely eliminate their Federal Milk Marketing Order.
“It is important for farmers to know that a vote to disapprove of this ruling is a vote to end the FMMO in that region,” Trotter said. “While we believe more could have been done to improve the milk pricing, we still believe it is still better to have the FMMO and the protections it brings for producers and as such encourage a yes vote on the final rule.”
Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative provides dairy farmers throughout the Midwest with a powerful voice – the voice of milk – in Congress, with customers and within their communities. Edge, based in Green Bay, Wis., is one of the top cooperatives in the country based on milk volume. For more information, visit voiceofmilk. com.
BTC celebrates opening of new education center
Blackhawk Technical College celebrated the opening of its state-of-the-art Innovative Manufacturing Education Center (IMEC) at the Beloit-Janesville Campus on Oct. 24, with a ribbon-cutting event and tours for industry and K12 partners.

RCHS executive director to retire from the nonprofit
Tim Maahs, Executive Director of the Rock County Historical Society (RCHS) since 2018, has announced his retirement, effective Dec. 31 this year. Maahs has dedicated his tenure to preserving and celebrating the rich history of Rock County, leaving behind a legacy of significant initiatives. Maahs’ leadership has driven numerous impactful projects, enriching the community’s understanding of its heritage. Key highlights include:
• Creating the Rock County Legacies Museum: In partnership with Blackhawk Community Credit Union (BHCCU), Maahs spearheaded the development of the Rock County Legacies Museum, which opened in 2022 at the RCHS Museum and Visitor Center. The museum commemorates the history of Janesville’s General Motors
plant and its people, featuring iconic artifacts such as the 100 millionth vehicle produced by GM, a Chevy Caprice built in Janesville.
• Launching the Holiday Tree Show: Now an annual tradition in its fifth year, the Holiday Tree Show has become a community favorite, featuring 150 uniquely decorated trees displayed inside the Lincoln-Tallman House. Decorated by local businesses, nonprofits, individuals, and volunteers, the event drew over 5,000 visitors during the 2023 holiday season.
• Restoring the Lincoln-Tallman House Interior: Maahs secured grant funding to meticulously restore the historic mansion’s first and second floors, enhancing the visitor experience.
• Revitalizing the Wilson-King Stone House: Under Maahs’ guidance, the Stone House was transformed into a modern commercial kitchen and dining space, now hosting both RCHS and private events.
Reflecting on his time with the organization, Maahs shared: “Since joining RCHS
as a board member in 2006, I’ve been passionate about preserving this community treasure. Leading RCHS since 2018 has been a true honor, made possible by the support of our donors, sponsors, board of directors, staff, and volunteers. I am deeply grateful to each of them.”
Amy McCann, Past President of the RCHS Board and three-term President, expressed the board’s gratitude, “Tim has been an extraordinary asset to RCHS. On behalf of the board, we thank him for his dedication and
wish him the best in this new chapter.”
The RCHS board will begin a search for a new executive director in anticipation of Maahs’ departure.
Founded in 1948, RCHS engages Rock County communities through the preservation and celebration of local history. The 3.5-acre campus includes the Lincoln-Tallman House, Museum and Visitor Center, Archives and Preservation Facility, Tallman Carriage House, Wilson-King Stone House, and Frances Willard Schoolhouse.

Department of Correction students recognized for academic achievement
34 individuals studying while incarcerated join Phi Theta Kappa Madison College and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) celebrated the academic achievements of 34 persons in their care from six institutions during a virtual ceremony on Nov. 11 inducting the students into Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) International Honor Society.
“Rehabilitation requires learning,” DOC Secretary Jared Hoy said. “One of the goals of incarceration is to provide individuals with the tools they need to thrive in the community. Education plays a huge role and achievements like this show persons in our care that they can succeed. This is a proud moment for each and every one of these students.”
recognition.
The 34 new members honored fulfilled all requirements for membership while completing their studies online at six separate DOC institutions:
• Felmers O. Cheney Correctional Center – 1 member
• Jackson Correctional Institution – 10 members
• Oakhill Correctional Institution – 7 members
• Redgranite Correctional Institution – 3 members
• Racine Youthful Offender Correctional Facility – 1 member
• Stanley Correctional Institution – 12 members
Madison College President Jack Daniels, a PTK member himself, also delivered remarks as the keynote speaker for the ceremony.
PTK is the official honor society of two-year colleges and was founded to offer opportunities for students to grow as scholars and leaders.
“Becoming a member of Phi Theta Kappa – coming from where I started – not only an honor, but an accomplishment that proves my capabilities to myself and everyone else in my life,” said Jeremiah Janke, a student at Oakhill Correctional Institution.
Janke and the other 33 students honored needed to have completed at least 12 degree credits and earned a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA to join.
“Acknowledgement for my efforts is another reminder that hard work pays off, and that everything I am striving toward is achievable with persistence,” Janke added.
The new PTK members are among a cohort of Small Business Entrepreneurship Program students participating in the federal Second Chance Pell pilot program, which provides funding that allows a small number of colleges and universities nationwide to offer post-secondary education and training to incarcerated individuals.
This is the second group of Wisconsin DOC students to earn this prestigious national
“My challenge invites you to give through service, offers opportunities, experience scholarship and learning outside the classroom, promotes fellowship through your interactions with other PTK members and above all, asks you to step up and be a leader,” he told the new inductees.
“My challenge is extensive but achievable, and I know the experience you gain along this journey will have a lasting significance on your academic development.”
Students took the Phi Theta Kappa induction oath before being admitted, in which members pledged to uphold the standards and ideals of the organization. Each new member’s name will be added to the Chapter Record Book and will receive a Medal of Honor recognizing each inductee’s achievements and designating formal induction into the society.
Established by Missouri two-year college presidents in 1918, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society serves to recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and provide opportunities for individual growth and development through honors, leadership and service programming.
Today, Phi Theta Kappa is the largest honor society in American higher education with more than 3 million members and 1,285 chapters.
