Wisconsin boards acts on chlamydia in cattle disease
The State Board of Agriculture approved a three-pronged plan to help Wisconsin farmers combat cattle facing abortion risks from chlamydia. Dr. Lynne Siegfried of UW Madison presented a diagnostic test she developed after testing 2,465 animals headed to shows and auctions, finding up to 1 percent may have antibodies to the disease. The board followed months of debate and aims to aid herds with the new testing tool.

Colors of the Heartland art auction raises funds for Minnesota farmers
Groundswell hosted Colors of the Heartland at the St Paul Civic Center over the Fourth of July weekend to aid Minnesota farmers. About 600 people attended per day and 300 joined the auction each day, but the event netted roughly 147000, far short of the 500000 to 1000000 hoped. Final totals remain uncertain as receipts are still being tallied.
