Wisconsin Senate struggles over new agriculture committee
Wisconsin Democrats reshaped the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee into an eight member Agriculture Health and Human Services panel without a farmer among its members. Senator Jim Harsdorf of Beldenville criticizes the move as reducing agriculture’s influence, arguing the panel cannot adequately handle farming issues alongside health and social services. He vows to seek a vote on the new structure after January 7, while supporters say a broader committee can serve rural interests as effectively as a dedicated agriculture panel.
