Officials criticize proposal to close FmHA offices
Wisconsin officials and farmers react to a proposed nationwide sweep eliminating 1,800 FmHA county offices including 46 in Wisconsin. The plan would shift housing and loan programs to state and federal agencies, drawing protests by Rep. Al Baldus and FmHA staff who argue local offices best serve rural communities.
