Wisconsin Farm Bureau Chief Sees No Quick Fix for Surplus
Don Haldeman, president of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau, warned members the agriculture crisis won’t be solved by more credit or quick fixes. He cited a decade of decline and rising production beyond market needs, noting larger crop acreages and higher yields since 1972. He urged farmers to identify and solve problems themselves while remaining cautious about world markets helping promptly.

Delegates Call for Property Tax Change and Elsewhere
Delegates at the convention approved a resolution to end property tax assessments for vocational technical school funding and seek alternative sources such as sales and income taxes. They backed continuing use of America's Dairyland on license plates and supported state boards over the Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection and Natural Resources departments. Other awards and titles were announced, including Miss Farm Bureau 1986 Denice Fitzsimmons and Discussion Meet winner John Brunnquell. A speaker urged reducing productive acres and cautioned that government programs and world price supports hinder farmers, stressing need over market surplus and warnings on dumping by foreign countries.
