State lawmakers debate shuttering the Barron diagnostic center as a cost saving move, noting six and a half full-time staff would shift to Madison if closed. Officials argue the lab serves 22 northern and west central counties, while alternatives include relocating staff or creating a northeastern Wisconsin facility. Farmers would face higher costs for disease diagnosis and transport if services concentrate in Madison.
