Wisconsin fertilizer rules may shutter a third of dealers
Wisconsin faces a groundwater rule requiring diked liquid fertilizer tanks loading pads and secondary containment by Jan 1 1988. Officials say compliance costs 35 000 to 70 000 or more per dealer and up to 29 percent may exit the business. DATCP estimates 50 percent fully compliant by Jan 1 with 25 percent making a good faith effort and 25 percent waiting to see.
