Free garden seeds program ends in west central Wisconsin
West CAP in Glenwood City reports no federal funds for free garden seeds this year. Washington officials deem seed distributions an inappropriate use of funds, ending a program that aided nearly 1,000 area families in 1977 with seven seed varieties worth about $5,000. The USDA CSA shift leaves food stamp recipients still able to buy seeds and plants, while West CAP offers processing guidance and previous canning clinics with UW Extension support.
