State ag officials meet with John Block on budget cuts
Agriculture Secretary Gary Rohde says he was not totally disillusioned after meeting USDA Secretary John Block in Washington during the Midwinter Agriculture Secretaries Meeting in March. Rohde notes some dairy and grain program concerns were confirmed but predicts a shift toward a freer market approach while acknowledging Block’s broad budget-cutting stance and Rohde’s own department facing more than a six percent reduction this year.

USDA probes potential theft at Superior grain warehouse
The U S Department of Agriculture opens a criminal probe into possible theft of federally owned grain from a Superior warehouse. Investigators review shipping records to see if Great Lakes Storage and Contracting Co personnel altered invoices and filed false documents to hide thefts. Frank Puskarich, former Great Lakes manager, is central to the inquiry following his guilty plea for transporting stolen copper and a civil suit alleging misconduct.
