Barron County lime pit sparks cross county dispute

Barron County operates a Dunn County lime pit on 199 acres near Boyceville drawing support from two Republican lawmakers to keep pits open while a Democrat bills to ban county pits and force private suppliers. The issue centers on tax questions, severance concerns, and whether Barron County can sell lime to Dunn and Chippewa counties.

Wisconsin counties cling to lime pits amid tax and sale debates

Polk and Barron counties face fears over selling or closing their lime pits as farmers object to price shifts and state taxes. Polk operates a long standing pit east of Osceola with annual output of 25 000 to 30 000 tons and leases land for 18 cents a ton while charging 15 a ton to farmers for 50 59 lime. County figures warn of a half million dollar equipment investment for private crushing and note lingering tax and reporting requirements tied to lime production.
