Marital property reform tops concerns of Wisconsin Farm Bureau women
Mary Jane Nelson, chair of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau women’s committee, says marital property reform is a priority for 59 counties. The reform aims to keep separate property with changes, reduce death and gift taxes to aid farm heirs, allow joint income tax filing for farm families, and include the doctrine of necessaries to cover essential bills. Other issues include dairy surplus, groundwater quality, vegetarianism, and a new groundwater study committee to craft a cohesive Farm Bureau position.
