Ausman cites 1985 Farm Bill success and rising farm income
Former Wisconsin Secretary of Agriculture La Verne Ausman told a Platteville audience that the 1985 farm bill is working as farm income, net worth, and exports rise while farm debt declines. He noted 1986 net income at 53 billion and forecast 52 to 56 billion for 1987, with tax and energy costs easing and land values stabilizing.
