FEATURE OF RURAL WISCONSIN HAS
BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT AND A
GREAT ADDITION TO PBS WISCONSIN.

>> WELL, I'M A FOUR GENERATION
DAIRY FARMER AND I HAVE LOVED
AGRICULTURE MY WHOLE LIFE.
NOT BEING FROM WISCONSIN, I GREW
UP ON THE WEST COAST AND SPENT
TIME ON THE EAST COAST, I
REALIZED THAT WISCONSIN IS NOT
JUST COWS AND CORN.
THERE'S A WHOLE VIBRANT
AGRICULTURE HAPPENING HERE,
DIVERSIFIED AIG AGRICULTURE.
MY DAD AND I THOUGHT WE NEED TO
TELL A STORY ABOUT FARMING AND
WHERE FOOD IS COMING FROM FROM
THE PERSPECTIVE OF A FARMER.
IT'S JUST BEEN SUCH A GREAT
JOURNEY.
WE KNEW WE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE
ON PBS BECAUSE WE REALLY BELIEVE
IN THE MESSAGE OF WHAT PBS HAS.
WE ENJOY THE PROGRAMMING ON PBS
SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID.

WELL BEYOND THE GOAL.
THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD
DONE ONE OF OUR EARLY JERRY APPS
PROGRAMS AND THERE'S A NEW ONE
IN THE WORKS.
BUT SOME OF THE SMALL FARMER
MEMBERS REALLY LIKED LISTEN TO
GOLISTENINGTO JERRY.
INSTEAD OF INHERITING EVERYTHING
THAT'S OUT IN THE CULTURE,
STARTED THINKING WHAT WERE THEY
DOING FOR ELECTRIFICATION AND
HOW WERE THEY MANAGING AND
FINDING INSPIRATION TO DO THINGS
IN NEW WAYS.
>> I'M THE BIGGEST JERRY APPS
FAN.
I LOVE EVERYTHING HE DOES.
WHEN I WATCH THOSE KIND OF
SHOWS, TO SEE WHAT THAT
GENERATION HAD TO GO THROUGH AND
PERSEVERE THROUGH.
HE TOLD HOW THEY USED TO GO TO
SLEEP WHEN THEIR FULL BARN
CLOTHES ON FOR THE NEXT MORNING.
I'VE DONE THAT BEFORE.
MY HEAT IS NOT GREAT IN MY
HOUSE.
BUT TO SHARE THAT EXPERIENCE AND
THEN, IT JUST MAKES IT MORE
MEANINGFUL.
I THINK WE HAVE TO SHOW PEOPLE
WHAT'S HAPPENING THROUGHOUT
HISTORY AND THROUGH FARMS AND
THROUGH WISCONSIN.
>> AND IN THIS LAST SEGMENT,
THERE'S A FAMILY STORY HERE.
>> I KNOW.
I KNOW.
>> THAT WILL REMIND ALL OF US, I
DIDN'T GROW UP ON A FARM, BUT
THERE'S STILL DIRT UNDERNEATH
OUR FINGERNAILS.
SO WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO OUR
GRANDPARENTS, OUR AUNTS AND
UNCLES.
THAT FARM EXPERIENCE WILL ECHO
FOR ALL OF US IN THIS LAST
SEGMENT.
SO STAY WITH US.
OUR SALUTE TO FOLKS WHO ARE
CONTINUING THIS WONDERFUL
FARMING TRADITION IN WISCONSIN.
>> HI.
I'M JON MISKOWSKI, DIRECTOR OF
PBS WISCONSIN.
YOU'VE JUST SEEN "AROUND THE
FARM TABLE," A SALUTE TO
WISCONSIN SMALL FARMS.
