Corn board proposes higher corn marketing dues at hearings
At a Stevens Point hearing three favored amendments and one opposed to the Wisconsin Corn Marketing Order would raise the assessment to 0.5 cents per bushel, limit charges to corn sold in state, identify CCC as a handler, and require payments within 15 days after each quarter. The plan aims to boost board revenues from about $80,000 to $350,000–$400,000 annually and streamline reporting while moving to a walk-in referendum in February 1988.

EPA approves use of alachlor despite cancer risk findings
The EPA said it will continue allowing farmers to use alachlor, the nation’s most common pesticide. About 84 million pounds are sold annually, mainly for corn, soybeans, and peanuts. The herbicide helps weeds grow less, though it is linked as a probable human cancer risk. If use were cancelled, farmers face $413 to $465 million in lost production and higher weed-control costs in the first year.
