What a treat at the 2010 Cattle Industry Convention in San Antonio, TX my mentor Baxter Black stopped by the Cattlemen's Choice Loomix booth to say hello. He actually had a lot more to say but that is between me and him. Thanks for everything Baxter.

Wisconsin DNR allows major dairy expansion

Rosendale Dairy in Fond du Lac County wants to double in size, from 4,000 cows to 8,000 cows, which would make it the largest dairy operation in the state.

The DNR says language in the farm's water-protection permit is stronger than state law requires.

Nobody has worked harder at doing the right thing in producing America's Food supply than the individuals with Rosendale Dairy congratulations.....Trent

This photo is the track hoe and how the parking lot of Ruby's Inn was cleared for our arrival. More about the meeting later.

My guest today on Rural Route really got into the spirit Denise Qualls from Pollination Connection joined me on very educational Almond Bee show.
