Dodge County farmers report extensive goose crop damage mainly between Horicon and Theresa marshes. A LeRoy Lomira Theresa Farm Bureau survey estimates losses from corn, cornstalk bedding, winter wheat, and hay, seeking DNR relief.

Dairyman argues BGH stance won’t save Wisconsin farms
A letter from a Wisconsin dairyman contends that bovine growth hormone will not save or sink America's Dairyland. He notes Wisconsin has one third fewer farms than in 1970 and predicts another 33 percent drop in a decade, with or without BGH. He criticizes the Wisconsin Family Farm Defense Fund for tying BGH to the farm decline and argues BGH parallels AI and DHI production testing in impact.

Wisconsin milk boards blamed for dairy surplus cuts
A farmer criticizes WMMEB as another small cut and accuses dairy boards of wasteful spending. He notes Wisconsin dairy policy raises a ten cent levy per hundredweight, extracting about one hundred million dollars from farmers. He questions why economists see no surplus reduction and implicates dairy plant interests and USDA in the blame.
