State ag department weighs 1981 83 budget needs
The Wisconsin Agriculture Board reviewed the 1981 83 budget needs and set targets at 98 percent of the 1980 81 base with possible up to 104 percent. It supported continuing Shell Egg Surveillance with more federal funding but cut back backtags payments for market cattle and trimmed large capacity scales inspections while boosting meat inspection funding and state farm product promotions. The plan includes renegotiating the Egg program, possibly eliminating one field position, and cutting barberry eradication while expanding market development by 40 000 per year. Board members debated federal program reliance and the funding outlook through 1983, noting export gains and the need to balance costs with program outcomes.
