New dairy plan could raise costs for Wisconsin farmers
A proposed regional dairy program from Senator Patrick Leahy targets surplus states and would base penalties on regional production. Wisconsin farmers could face assessments if their region includes states with rising milk output, despite Wisconsin selling less to the government. California and Texas are flagged for higher production, while Wisconsin’s share to Uncle Sam remains small.

Flying farmer pilots around the world from Wisconsin airstrip
Bill Bancroft and his wife Gen turned a 3,000 foot hayfield near Poynette into a life centered on aviation. Beginning in 1985 they planned a world flight in eight Bonanza planes, leaving from San Jose in 1986 for a 26 day, 170 hour trek via Honolulu, Brisbane, Adelaide, Bali, India, Cairo, Mallorca, the Azore Islands, Newfoundland and Payette. They faced monsoons and a run of harassment by jet fighters over the Mediterranean, but completed the journey with tents replaced by hotels where needed.
