Wisconsin harvest aid rally draws Gov Earl focus on farm distress
Gov Earl presses rural Wisconsin threat message saying many in Madison care deeply about farm distress and urge state measures to cut farming costs. He cites school taxes credits and credit costs as levers while opposing a mortgage foreclosure moratorium, favoring debt restructuring for paying interest. Farmer comments highlight immediate need for feed and relief as harvest efforts continue amid wet fall and snows. John Carr, Hollandale organizer, notes spread of pick and glean sessions across southern Wisconsin.

Wisconsin farmers help through art and gleaning effort
Artist Kevin Kelley seeks to fund Groundswell by printing 950 four color copies of This Land is Our Land at nearly four thousand dollars. He will auction the original acrylic to raise additional funds. The effort partners with Wisconsin Rural Development Center and church groups, as volunteers pick corn for farmers in urgent need amid winter, with about 20 percent still in fields. Tom Law cites growing demand from farmers and volunteers, including a group of 35 with 11 prisoners, aiding Louis Gort farm near Hollandale. Rev Timothy Gericke and Pastor Mark Ziemer coordinate local efforts as winter isolation is faced by rural communities.
