In brief
Wisconsin secured more than $218 million in federal funding to design and build the Hiawatha West extension, bringing Amtrak service from Milwaukee to Madison with planned stops in Pewaukee and Watertown. The project is expected to improve freight rail and create jobs, but Wisconsin must still provide its share of construction costs and ongoing operating funds.
Cranberry harvest is underway across major growing regions, with Massachusetts growers expecting a crop slightly above last year’s and Wisconsin bringing its leading share of the U.S. crop to market ahead of the holidays. Fresh berries are a small, seasonal share of production and typically available in fall, while most cranberries are processed; harvest season also offers opportunities to visit bogs and explore local trails.
Wisconsin confirmed epizootic hemorrhagic disease in cattle in Waukesha County, the state’s first cattle detection since 2013, amid an outbreak affecting deer in several counties. Cattle infections are usually mild or symptomless; the virus spreads through biting midges, cases typically decline after a hard frost, and officials say it poses no risk to people.
