Wisconsin Farmland Preservation Participation Surges
The report outlines that farmers may qualify through zoning without an application or contract and notes large county participation in areas zoned. It highlights the need for farmers to decide, since a contract bars land development until 1982, and cites high participation in Wisconsin versus other states with Michigan at 3.2 percent, California 40.7 percent, and Washington 30 percent. It also corrects a Pepin County error where 26 farms were contracted but misreported as six.

Poultry litter silage boosts feeder beef costs savings
Mitchells use 50 50 poultry litter silage and high moisture corn to cut feed cost to about 16 cents a pound, with PLS as the concentrate. PLS contains non protein nitrogen and uric acid, requiring careful feeding up to 50 percent of the ration. FDA rules do not govern PLS for milk cows, and Clemson reports nearly 50,000 cattle on PLS in South Carolina with potential $6,000 yearly savings per 100 cows feeding PLS with corn at 2.50.
