Milk inspection upheld in Wisconsin for barns and milkhouses
Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled that state agents may inspect a barn and milkhouse without a warrant as part of routine checks to ensure a healthful product. The decision upheld Edward Geiger’s conviction for producing milk not adequately protected from filth and contaminants. The court noted federal precedent allows warrantless searches in closely regulated industries.

Olson brothers pursue old John Deere G tractors collection
The Olson brothers in Melrose Wisconsin gathered more than a dozen two cylinder John Deere Model G tractors. They haul them to events like the Tomah tractor pull and attend gatherings such as the Two Cylinder Club meeting in Waterloo Iowa. Their dad began the collection in 1938 with a $1200 purchase, and the brothers plan to expand it while preserving original ownership records. They buy used parts when available to save costs and value the history behind each machine.

Dairy price outlook clouded through 1992
Dr. Bob Cropp warned at a Midwest Agriculture Outlook Conference that dairy earnings will stay tight with a likely 50 cent cut in the dairy support price as soon as Jan 1 and milk prices possibly 80 to 90 cents lower by 1990. He noted 1987–1990 reductions are required by the 1985 farm bill if surplus issues persist, shaping a challenging long term for the industry.
