The agriculture sector is closely monitoring the spread of High-Path Avian Influenza (HPAI H5N1) in dairy cattle. Eleven states have confirmed cases of HPAI H5N1 dairy herds, with the latest confirmed outbreak coming out of Minnesota.

Minnesota State Veterinarian Dr. Brian Hoefs joined us Friday on the Market Day Report with the latest information about the new case in his state.

In an interview with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander, Dr. Hoefs shared what he knows about the latest detection, how the situation is being addressed, their next steps, and any lessons learned from the incident. He also discussed HPAI’s impact on the state’s poultry industry and ag-industry-wide biosecurity measures to keep in mind.

The New Crop
Where the Food Comes From with Chip Carter
Top Crop
From soil to harvest. Top Crop is an all-new series about four of the best farmers in the world—Dan Luepkes, of Oregan, Illinois; Cory Atley, of Cedarville, Ohio; Shelby Fite, of Jackson Center, Ohio; Russell Hedrick, of Hickory, North Carolina—reveals what it takes for them to make a profitable crop. It all starts with good soil, patience, and a strong planter setup.
Farm Traveler
Farm Traveler is for people who want to connect with their food and those who grow it. Thanks to direct-to-consumer businesses, agritourism, and social media, it’s now easier than ever to learn how our food is made and support local farmers. Here on the Farm Traveler, we want to connect you with businesses offering direct-to-consumer products you can try at home, agritourism sites you can visit with your family, and exciting new technologies that are changing how your food is being grown.
Agri-Pulse Newsmakers
Featuring members of Congress, federal and state officials, ag and food leaders, farmers, and roundtable panelists for debates and discussions.
The New Crop
RFD-TV has partnered with a handful of agricultural social media influencers whom we have dubbed The New Crop. These folks have taken to the internet to tell their stories and to raise awareness of where our food comes from and all that goes into feeding the world population.
Where the Food Comes From
The goal of “Where the Food Comes From” is as simple as its name implies — host Chip Carter takes you along on the journey of where our food comes from — and we don’t just mean to the supermarket (though that’s part of the big picture!). But beyond where it comes from, how it gets there, and all the links in the chain that make that happen.
