Russ Allen - Stray Voltage, Losing the Farm, EMF, WPS Lawsuit & the NFL - Episode #77

Russ Allen is a lifelong dairy farmer and the author of the memoir, "The Missing Wire". His story is a powerful testament to resilience in the face of unimaginable loss and a David-vs-Goliath legal battle that shook the Wisconsin utility industry. Russ’s life was upended when his cattle began to fall ill and die at an alarming rate (for decades). His search for answers led him to uncover an invisible assailant, stray voltage leaking from the electrical distribution system owned by Wisconsin Public Service. The impact of this "missing wire" extended far beyond his livelihood, manifesting in a series of devastating family tragedies that Russ details in his writing.

In this episode, Russ joins us to discuss his years-long fight for justice, "winning" the lawsuit but still losing the farm, the day his lender said "it's over", the landmark jury verdict that finally held the utility company accountable, and his mission to expose the "dirty little secrets" of the industry to protect other farming families. His story is a deeply rooted Wisconsin narrative about the cost of truth and the strength required to stand one’s ground. As a lifelong NFL and Packer fan, Russ also made the connection in the late 2010s between stray current, EMF, and NFL team performance. Maybe there is even more to the "December in Lambeau" advantage that has been talked about for years? A hot button topic at the moment, Russ may have a path to discovery started already.
