22 Wisconsin companies make Newsweek's 2023 list of America's Most Trustworthy Companies to include companies from the New North Region
BIZTIMES 22 Wisconsin companies are included in Newsweek magazine’s second annual list of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies.
Newsweek partners with Germany-based research and data firm Statista to compile the list, which includes 700 companies in 23 industries. All companies based in the U.S. with more than $500 million in annual revenue were considered.
The basis of the analysis was an independent survey from a sample of about 25,000 U.S. residents, who rated companies they know in terms of all three touchpoints of trust. A total of 95,000 evaluations of companies were submitted. For each company that received a sufficient number of evaluations, a “social listening” analysis was conducted. This involved researching what was said about a company in various media segments of the internet and evaluating whether it was positive, neutral or negative. In total, over 270,000 mentions were gathered. Additionally, all companies that were involved in any recent scandals or lawsuits relevant to a dimension of trust were excluded from the analysis...

Door County maple syrup producer ends sap season with award
DOORCOUNTYDAILYNEWS.COM DOOR COUNTY -- The run of sap may be over, but now you get to taste the fruit of Ed Staats' labor in the form of maple syrup. The return of warmer temperatures this week marks the end of the season for other maple syrup producers. Staats estimates that they produced approximately 750 gallons of maple syrup from more than 30,000 gallons of sap. Even though the area never had a really deep freeze, the consistently cold temperatures made it easy for him and his crew to pull sap out of his 2,500 trees with his vacuum system. His hard work was rewarded at last weekend's Phelps Maple Syrup Festival contest. His entry won the Amber Color and Rich Taste category and took second overall. He was happy with both the award and the end of the sap season...
