The rule would stiffen tests for butterfat and protein, prompting concerns from small labs about potential business losses. The panel plans to act on April 24 at a special meeting and also discussed allowing townships in Farmland Preservation if their county lacks exclusive agricultural zoning, plus a $2 million expansion to the Wisconsin Farmers Fund for farmer mandated animal waste improvements.
