Circle City land study aims to preserve farmland and spur growth
Circle City land valued at 2.5 million may be donated to the university as a rural constellation center. Officials debate tax effects while proponent Mr. Lewis envisions a research hub linking urban constellation theory with preservation of farmland, rail corridor renovation, and regional planning for 17 million city residents. The Erdman property could host a mini campus and serve as a model for urban–rural balance, with local involvement and phased actions pending UW acceptance and funding.

State ag economist predicts dairy industry changes in Midwest
Truman Graf of the University of Wisconsin Madison says over the next decade the Midwest will lose dairy farms but slower than past decades while milk processing plants close faster. He notes the region will stay competitive due to demand for cheese and premium dairy products, but lower support prices will hurt more as manufacturing milk yields the lowest prices and the import-export gap persists.
