State urged to boost erosion control funding by Ausman
Wisconsin Agriculture Secretary La Verne Ausman told last week’s Wisconsin Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts meeting that erosion control programs need a larger share of the state budget. He warned several regions face serious topsoil erosion and urged stable funding, noting current allocations are too small compared with other environmental areas. The group backed a resolution calling for steady funding to cover county erosion priorities amid new law shifting programs to the agriculture department.

Conser vation funds risk hindering dairy soil programs
Assessment warns a 50 cent per hundredweight cut in federal milk price supports could slow soil and water conservation efforts. Dairy director Warren Suchovsky says reduced funds may delay conservation practices and push farmers to plant grains on marginal lands, hurting forage conservation and soil protection. Wisconsin groups seek speedier soil surveys and more mapping funds, with county projects to computerize data moving ahead.
