In a basement workroom at the UW Madison campus Wolfgang Hoffmann edits a film exploring Wisconsin farming practices. He sketches scenes, compiles archival footage, and coordinates with producers to highlight agricultural innovations and regional crops for a university project.
Wolfgang Hoffmann, UW Madison agricultural journalism teacher and filmmaker, won a Golden Eagle for Food and Jobs Wisconsin Agriculture. His film, produced with 24 contributors and about $40,000, surveys agriculture’s role in Wisconsin jobs and processing, to be shown in Berlin and used in schools.
The film Food and Jobs Wisconsin Agriculture by Wolfgang Hoffmann highlights Wisconsin's agricultural reach. It notes alfalfa and forage crops cover a quarter of land, state leads in silage corn, cheese across 200 varieties, and major roles in processing beans, peas, corn, cabbage, beets, turfgrass, veal, mink, ducks, and turkeys. It states agriculture adds about 20 billion dollars to the economy and employs about 24 percent of ag-related jobs.
