Wisconsin agriculture report sees cautious optimism despite prices down
The year end report by Wisconsin Agriculture Secretary LaVerne Ausman notes a bountiful harvest but weaker farm prices and inflation driven costs. He cites lower November 1981 prices versus 1980, high interest rates, and shifting world demand as key factors. Dairy remains dominant with government purchases up 55 percent, while crops and livestock face mixed results and budding export potential through missions to China, Mexico, and Taiwan.
