This week on AgweekTV, a Danish company is coming to Minnesota to turn manure into energy. Five friends open a new business in their North Dakota hometown to take the stress out of butchering. Small growers are getting a boost from the University of Minnesota to take their business to the next level. And we'll meet a farmer who stays out of the red — with vintage red.

Cass-Clay Creamery recently delivered more than 24,000 units of Giving Cow, a shelf-stabilized milk, to the Great Plains Food Bank — part of an announced donation of 82,000 units.

Bare shelves illustrate the increased need and decreased donations as rising grocery costs affect food shelf donors.

It takes a lot of food to fed more than 150,000 people each year. And that makes the Great Plains Food Bank thankful for donations of fresh produce that come from farmers.

This week on AgweekTV, we reflect on why we're thankful for ag as we kick off the holiday season. That includes a new FFA chapter, which is giving "hope" to the next generation of agriculturalists. You'll pay more for this year's Thanksgiving holiday feast but can still give thanks for an affordable food supply. And ag lawyer Sarah Vogel chronicles her famous fight against the government on behalf of farmers in a new book.
