Oil and gas hearing draws little public response
The first in a series of Wisconsin hearings on proposed oil and gas exploration rules drew minimal public opposition in Spooner. Tom Evans of the UW extension warned that heavy early environmental and tax rules could deter exploration while the DNR would require case by case plan reviews and monitor drilling and abandonment to protect groundwater and the surface environment.

Texaco abandons Kansas oil well cooling hopes for giant field
Texaco drilled a 11300 foot exploratory well in northeastern Kansas and abandoned it as noncommercial. The move dampens expectations of a Kansas to Wisconsin oilfield while noting further drilling along the Mid-Continent Gravity Anomaly is likely. Industry observers say a producer could emerge after multiple wildcat wells.

Storhoff sees few changes in dairy policy
Wisconsin Dairies Cooperative president Storhoff told District 16 members that the dairy price support program will be modified but not discarded, with a likely fall price around 11.50 to 12 per hundredweight. He warned a phasing out could trigger a 2 to 3 drop and volatile wholesale prices, while noting large government stocks would cushion effects. The co-op, recording an $8 million sales drop, expanded whey production including Foremost assets, now marketing lactose and whey products for Nestle and other uses.
