Delegates approve most Wisconsin NFO resolutions with one defeat
Delegates at the 20th Wisconsin NFC convention adopt most 1982 resolutions while Resolution No. 8 calling for alternative energy development fails due to lack of wording to include agricultural interests. State secretary Ruth Schultz notes a similar action was approved last year. The approved measures reaffirm farmers pricing through cooperation, oppose the milk tax, promote domestic marketing, oppose non farm ownership of farmland, tax farmland use, promote women’s equal partnership, limit IRS power on parent child interests, support education via media, and back full parity for agriculture.
