Wisconsin Secretary of Agriculture La Verne Ausman told an agricultural seminar that Wisconsin’s 374 dairy processing plants produce for and sell more to the commercial market than any other state.

Tax relief best farm aid says Harsdorf at seminar
Wisconsin State Senator James Harsdorf told a Wisconsin Association of Manufacturers and Commerce audience that changing the property tax formula offers the best farm relief. He argued education funding should shift from property taxes to income or sales taxes, noting farm incomes have fallen while property taxes rose. Rep. Gervase Hephner cited job losses in farm machinery and praised the loan guarantee program, saying it could reach 10 million dollars by June and may continue for years.
