AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Farmland Outlook: A Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago survey finds Upper Midwest farmland values are cooling, with Wisconsin seeing declines as competition from data centers, solar and wind projects, and shifting crop/livestock economics reshapes demand. Food Safety & Business Risk: A multistate E. coli and Salmonella outbreak tied to alfalfa sprouts from Everything Sprouts, LLC has sickened 55 people across 15 states, prompting recalls of sprouts sold under Calco and Everything Sprouts brands—an operational hit for growers and retailers, especially in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Milwaukee Public Safety: Milwaukee’s 3rd District held a July 15 public safety town hall after June violence on the Lower East Side, with residents pressing for practical, community-driven solutions. Defense Manufacturing: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is scheduled to visit Oshkosh Corp., spotlighting U.S. defense manufacturing and the company’s major Army contracts. Local Emergency Services: Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department received $48,000 in grants to replace aging portable radios, boosting firefighter communications and safety. Consumer Fraud Watch: Glenwood City logged one BBB scam report in July, landing among Wisconsin’s higher-scam cities, as fraud losses continue nationwide. Sports & Local Economy: The Brewers aim to sweep the Braves in Sunday’s series finale at Bowman Field, keeping Milwaukee’s strong season in the spotlight.
