Soil erosion control cited as top issue at Wisconsin meeting
Wisconsin DATCP Secretary La Verne Ausman and Sen. Rod Moen say soil erosion control will be the No. 1 environmental issue this legislative session. They cite Wisconsin Land Conservation Board recommendations aiming to cut topsoil loss by 2000, with county goals guiding state action and a measurable target.

Land board urges progress on county erosion goals
The land board emphasized county goals as the most important part of its recommendations and said these will be studied for progress. Erosion control is a county priority beyond the LCC, with nine western central Wisconsin counties represented on the River Country RC&D Council. The board also urged UW Extension and DATCP to expand farmer information on soil erosion control and to push state agencies to support related education. The Polk County Holstein Breeders Association holds its annual meeting January 24 from 1 30 to 3 30 p m at the Agriculture Center in Balsam Lake with a board meeting and refreshments afterward.
