Marinette County plans to condemn 7 acres of the Kubiak farm enrolled since 1982 to widen Highway GG near Lake Noquebay, with two DOT alternatives proposed to avoid taking land. The AG notes penalties and exceptions, while the county weighs options and awaits March meetings.

Reagan plan shifts farm policy toward market prices
University of Wisconsin agriculture economist Professor Ed Jesse spoke at a press conference on Friday noting that the Reagan administration seeks to replace former price support programs with market oriented policy. He argued price supports would be kept below market clearing levels to reduce surplus and boost demand in domestic and international markets, except for dairy due to selected import quotas. He warned existing higher support prices encouraged storage rather than sale abroad as markets cleared.
