Productivity in U S Agriculture Calls for More Research
University of Minnesota professor Vernon Ruttan told a University of Wisconsin Madison audience that farm productivity is slipping since the mid 1960s due to underinvestment in agricultural research. He urged expanded public and private funding, warning maintenance research dominates spending and may hamper productivity gains through the 1990s.

Farm management consultants to aid farmers in Wisconsin
Central Wisconsin starts pilot program placing contractors from colleges with at least five years of farm management or credit analysis experience. They will be paid monthly with mileage and per diem, travel to farms, and free services for non borrowers. The aim is to have contractors in the field by March before the new crop season, with Wisconsin leading expansion after testing in District 3.

Barneveld storm debris study fuels long inquiry
Professor Charles Anderson of the University of Wisconsin is studying Barneveld debris to trace storm circulation. He seeks items found far from the track, including a bank pouch and a local check, and has asked Wisconsin residents to report debris. He notes heavy materials traveled up to 80 miles and preserved wind patterns in debris distribution.
