ANALYSIS AND PERSPECTIVE.
NOBODY'S GOING TO BE SHOUTING AT

CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
THERE'S GOING TO BE SOLID

>> INGA, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE CHEESE.
AND YOU SAID THEY'RE ALL --
>> THEY'RE ALL FARMSTEAD
CHEESES.
AND WHAT FARMSTEAD MEANS IS THAT
ALL THE CHEESE, THE MILK FOR THE
CHEESE COMES RIGHT THERE FROM
THE FARM AND IT'S MADE RIGHT
THERE ON THE FARM.
SO, FOR EXAMPLE, THE
ST. ISADORE, WHICH IS A CHEESE I
MAKE, THE COWS ARE MILKED THERE,
THE CHEESE IS MADE THERE AND
EVERYTHING COMES FROM THAT
SINGLE SOURCE.
THESE THREE CHEESES ARE VERY
SPECIAL IN THAT WAY.
>> IT'S HARD TO HAVE THE CHEESE
IN THE ROOM WITH ME.
ALL RIGHT.
FINE.
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S WONDERFUL.
IT'S ALSO A CHALLENGE.
AND YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME
REAL CHALLENGES RECENTLY.
>> A FEW YEARS AGO WE HAD OUR
BARN COMPLETELY BURN TO THE
GROUND.
WE WERE ABLE TO REBUILD, TO LIFT
OUR SPIRITS AND GET BACK GOING
BECAUSE OF OUR COMMUNITY.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I
LOVE WORKING WITH PBS AND BEING
HERE WITH PBS, IS IT'S ALL ABOUT
COMMUNITY.
JUST LIKE RIGHT NOW I KNOW I'M
HERE IN MADISON.
MY NEIGHBORS ARE DRIVING BY TO
CHECK ON MY COWS, MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL.
WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER TO BE
ABLE TO MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND.
SO THAT'S WHY I'M HOPING THAT
YOU'LL CALL IN RIGHT NOW WITH
YOUR SUPPORT AT 1-800-236-3636.
JAMES, ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT
GETTING SOME CHEESE?
>> I WILL BE GETTING SOME
CHEESE.
NOT JUST THINKING ABOUT GETTING
CHEESE.
AND FROMAGINATION, WE'LL BE
TALKING WITH THEM IN A LITTLE
BIT.
IT'S MY SOURCE OF CHEESE BECAUSE
I'M NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO YOU
GUYS.
1-800-236-3636.
>> AND JUST TO REMIND YOU, AT
THE $10 A MONTH YOU CAN GET THIS
AMAZING COOKBOOK.
AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING THROUGH
IT.
JUST HOW MANY DIFFERENT GREEN
SALADS.
NOT ONLY ARE THERE TIPS TO HOW
TO USE THEM, BUT STORAGE TIPS

YOUR VEGETABLES DON'T GO TO
WASTE, THAT THEY'RE USED WELL.
AT $20 A MONTH WE HAVE THE
ARTISANAL GIFT OF AMAZING
CHEESES AND CRACKERS AND PECANS
AND CHOCOLATES.
BUT I'M TELLING YOU, THE

ST. ISADORE CHEDDAR.
THIS IS SPECIAL.
THESE ARE ALL HOMESTEAD CHEESES.
THE MILK IS FROM THE FARM AND
IT'S MADE THERE.
THE PLEASANT RIDGE RESERVE.
I WILL TELL YOU IN NEW YORK WE
WERE LOOKING FOR CHEESE AND THEY
SAID, OH, THE BEST, YOU'VE GOT
TO GET THE PLEASANT RIDGE
RESERVE.
WAIT.
THAT'S FROM WISCONSIN.
YES.
THAT'S WHERE THE BEST CHEESE IS.
AND WE ARE HERE TO TELL YOU
THAT.
AND EVEN A YOUNG GOUDA.

SENT OUT THE FIRST WEEK IN

AT $25 A MONTH, YOU CAN GET THE
COOKBOOK, THE CHEESES AND A
SPECIAL PBS APRON.
THIS CAN ALWAYS BE YOURS WITH
YOUR CALL AT 1-800-236-3636.
>> NOW, WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS
WISCONSIN AGRICULTURE TO YOU,
YOU MIGHT THINK FIRST CORN, HAY
AND COWS.
AND THAT'S NOT WRONG.
BUT WHEN WE WATCH "AROUND THE
FARM TABLE," WE LEARN THERE'S SO
MUCH MORE TO WISCONSIN GROWING,
SO MUCH MORE TO WISCONSIN FARMS.
AND IT'S JUST GREAT TO WATCH ALL
THESE INNOVATIVE, PASSIONATE
PEOPLE DO AMAZING THINGS.
THE FIRST PUMPKIN SEED OIL
OPERATION IN WISCONSIN, AN
AMAZING TULIP OPERATION,
OPERATING UNDER A HOOP HOUSE.
IT'S FANTASTIC TO LEARN ABOUT.
THESE ARE WISCONSIN STORIES THAT
WE WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU.
AND YOU ARE THE IMPORTANT PART
OF THIS.
THERE ARE OVER 70,000 FAMILIES
IN WISCONSIN WHO ARE MEMBERS OF
PBS WISCONSIN.
WE WANT YOU TO JOIN AND BECOME A
MEMBER, TOO, TO KEEP LEARNING
ABOUT THESE GREAT THINGS, YOUR
FRIENDS, YOUR NEIGHBORS, PARTS
OF WISCONSIN YOU MAY NOT KNOW
ABOUT YET AND JUST LEARN ABOUT
THE GREAT DIVERSITY THAT'S IN
OUR STATE, EVEN IN THE
AGRICULTURE, AS IT CONTINUES TO
EMERGE INTO A NEW ECONOMY AND
ALL THE WONDERFUL WISCONSIN
STORIES THAT WE CAN SHARE WITH
YOU.
YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND MAKE A
GIFT, pbswisconsin.org, OR
GIVE US A CALL AT
1-800-236-3636.
>> YOU KNOW, THERE'S A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT THAT GOES INTO
FARMING THAT YOU DON'T SEE
UNLESS YOU'RE RIGHT THERE EVERY
DAY.
IN FACT, ONE OF THE THINGS
COMING UP INGA IS GOING TO BE
SHOWING US AROUND YOUR PLACE AND
HOW YOU MAKE CHEESE.
AND THERE ARE THINGS IN THERE
THAT I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT.
WHY WOULD I?
BUT NOW I HAVE A MUCH DEEPER
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THESE
PIECES COME TOGETHER.
>> IT'S SIMILAR TO DOING A
TELEVISION SERIES.
FARMING IS A YEAR-ROUND PROJECT.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW, BUT SO
IS TELEVISION.
A LOT OF THESE STORIES THAT WE
COME UP WITH TO FEATURE ON
"AROUND THE FARM TABLE" WE WORK
ON SOMETIMES FOR YEARS AT A
TIME.
IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK AND
DEVELOPMENT AND A LOT OF CREW
GETTING TOGETHER TO MAKE THINGS
WORK.
IT'S EASY TO FLIP-FLOP BETWEEN
TV AND FARMING WHEN THEY'RE SO
SIMILAR.
IT'S ABOUT JOINING AS A
COMMUNITY TO -- I JUST THINK
ABOUT WHAT I DO ON MY FARM AND
EVERYTHING IS WITH THE SUPPORT
OF OTHERS.
THANK GOODNESS MY PARENTS
RETIRED.
WELL, THEY THOUGHT THEY RETIRED
RECENTLY, BUT NOW THEY'RE ON THE
FARM WITH ME ALMOST FULL-TIME
HELPING WITH THE CHEESE.
IT TAKES ALL OF US TO HELP OUT
WITH EVERYTHING.
AND IF YOU'RE ABLE TO HELP OUT
NOW, I WOULD DEFINITELY SUGGEST
AN AMAZING COOKBOOK.
I HAVE IT ON MY SHELF.
I HAVE ALL THESE CHEESES IN MY
REFRIGERATOR.
THERE'S SOME REALLY GREAT GIFTS
TODAY.
SO IF YOU CAN, CALL IN TO
1-800-236-3636.

COMMUNITY.
AND IT TAKES A COMMUNITY.
IT TAKES ALL OF US TOGETHER TO
CREATE QUALITY PROGRAMMING AND
PBS WISCONSIN NOT ONLY HAS THE
QUALITY PROGRAMMING, BUT IS
ASKING YOU TO JOIN US.
AND IT'S SO EASY TO DO.
A SIMPLE PHONE CALL OR SIMPLY GO
