Ag-Business Council raises funds for education efforts
The Wisconsin Agri-Business Council netted about 18 000 to support agricultural education after a Watertown auction organized by two former council leaders. The sale at Cy Blaska's farm featured a Case IH tractor and many donated items, raising around 40 000 with expected net profits near half that. Attendees bid on items from canned goods to lawn tools, with several vehicles added late but unsold. The funds will aid advocacy and agricultural issues including animal rights water legislation and agri chemical use.

Senate support grows for guaranteeing Farm Credit System B stock for farmer borrowers. Senator Boschwitz spoke in Madison on farm policy, backing capital for the Farm Credit System and suggesting decoupling subsidies from farm programs with a loan rate set at 1.30 to aid corn, while market prices rise the government would cut rates. He noted dairy policy issues, trade talks, and a strong U.S. economy underpinning reform.
