Low interest rates seen as help for farm credit system
Farm Credit Administration head Donald Wilkinson told a Governor's Conference on Agriculture that tough times may ease with lower rates. He cited a $215 billion national farm debt and 12,015 dispersal auctions in 1983, urged borrowers to seek forbearance, and warned selective moratoriums would push lending away from ag loans.

Governor urges budget tradeoffs over county fair aid
Governor Anthony Earl defended an $800000 cut to state county fair aid in a Menomonie speech at the Governor's Conference on Agriculture. He argued funds are non essential and could be redirected to soil erosion control, while warning the Legislature to choose between cuts or higher taxes. The remarks came as the conference, the first outside Madison, highlighted dairy support and farm leadership amid hard times budget goals.
