Governor pushes tougher farmland preservation plan for Wisconsin
Governor Lee S. Dreyfus directed the state agriculture department to lead an intensified farmland preservation effort citing annual loss of about 250000 acres since 1940. He criticized current policies and urged action to curb land conversion by public and private entities. A task force will review legislation and report on agency programs affecting farmland. The board approved a hearing on a soybean marketing order and discussed animal waste regulation roles between agencies.
