Aide to the governor told Wisconsin Senate and Assembly agriculture committees that a state foreclosure ban would raise false hopes, urging focus on reopening and changing the federal farm bill. He noted it would apply only to commercial banks, with potential 1986 foreclosures of about 200 by banks and up to 3200 by federal agencies.
