Young Wisconsin farmer takes over legacy after father's death
Grant County 21 year old Rick Clark left UW Platteville after his father Royce Clark died from lung cancer. He inherited management of a 600 acre farm, formed a start up partnership with his mother, hired friend Tony Fischer, and earned an American Farmer Degree for sustaining local 4H and FFA projects. He plans to modernize with a computerized feeding system, aims to milk about 50 Holsteins, expand hog production to 600 per year, and eventually buy into the operation while seeking help from neighbors and extension services.

Plan to unify woodland tax laws in Wisconsin
Wisconsin lawmakers consider merging the Forest Crop and Woodland Tax programs into a single law. The proposal, backed by Rep. Richard Shoemaker, would let landowners enroll 10 or more acres for 25 or 50 years with taxes reduced to 74 cents per acre if they follow an approved timber management plan and keep land open to public recreation. Owners could exclude up to 80 acres by a $1 per acre surcharge. The plan, backed by Governor’s Council on Forest Productivity, aims to be part of the 1985-87 budget package after extensive stakeholder input.
