Dozens of hay loads are moving north from southern Wisconsin to drought hit farms in the northwest. Coordinators at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection said transport donations and feed contributions are easing shortages for regional hay needs.
Monroe County hosts haylift at Tomah fairgrounds July 21 to 27 as part of statewide effort to aid drought struck dairy farms. Coordinated by Jim Barrett and Juneau County ag agent Tom Parslow, with trucking firms and volunteers supplying 5 000 bales from Camp Douglas to Siren and nearby communities.
Governor Thompson, after a drought area visit, claims to be fully apprised of the situation. He toured Beulah Sholts and Erwin Sholts’ Dane County farm where 450 bales of hay were loaded for shipment to Burnett County, sourced from the Sholts and Henry Schuster of Marshall and trucked by Pat Roach of Madison. The governor announced Alabama Governor Guy Hunt’s willingness to have Alabama farmers aid Wisconsin, reflecting past drought relief efforts.
Governor Tommy Thompson defended his drought aid response after criticism that relief is slow. He cited rapid actions including declaring a 10 county emergency, forming state and county advisory groups, and arranging 50 percent ASCS funding for feed supplements. He said trucks will deliver donated hay to Siren, and he seeks federal emergency designation for low interest loans.
