Beginning farmer bill aims for state land refund program

A Wisconsin bill would grant up to 7500 dollars toward farm land for qualifying young farmers. Criteria include residency in Wisconsin, active farm production, net assets under 100000 dollars, and a land parcel of 40 or more acres used in Wisconsin for the farmer and immediate family. If a refunded property is sold within 10 years, the farmer must repay with 9 percent yearly interest. Provisions adjust refunds proportionally if funds are insufficient. The measure names Sen. Walter Chilson and Rep. Dick Shoemaker as sponsors. Cattle artificial insemination training programs from Purdue University extend practical skills with costs from 100 to 250 dollars and are potentially tax deductible.
