Dairying seen as best option for Wisconsin farmers
Wisconsin dairy farmer lenders heard UW Madison specialist Ed Jesse declare dairying the best long term option as feed costs fall and milk production rises. He warned corn and bean prices will stay low with no floor for corn and soybeans supported at about 5.02 dollars a bushel for two years then 4.50. He urged adapting to new tech to cut costs and boost production while noting regional cash flow varies and per capita cheese consumption has risen.

Farmers consider snap bean contracts with Seneca Foods
Washburn County dairy farmers attended a public meeting with Seneca Foods official Tony Olson to learn about growing snap beans for the Cumberland plant. Olson said the company will expand acreage and may sign contracts after February 1 with planting to begin around May 15 for a 60 day crop. Prices range from 95 to 125 per ton depending on sieve size. Yields last year averaged 2.5 to 7 tons per acre, producing about 196 per acre net after costs. The meeting highlighted pest, moisture, and maturity considerations distinct from corn or soybeans. The Wisconsin Livestock Dealers Association hosts its annual meeting January 25 in Appleton with several state and USDA speakers.
