DATCP reports aldicarb levels above the 10 parts per billion standard at three of five groundwater test sites in central Wisconsin. Adams County wells showed 62 ppb near a housing subdivision, prompting calls for stricter rules and possible moratoriums while further samples and a Oct 24 hearing are planned.

Foreclosure moratorium urged by Wisconsin DATCP board member
DATCP board member James Ziegeweid of Arcadia urged Gov. Anthony Earl to consider a farm foreclosure moratorium similar to Iowa’s. He warned of a looming national downturn if action isn’t taken, while others stressed pricing reform as the real solution. The board did not adopt a position. Aldicarb testing and existing moratoriums in 11 Wisconsin areas were noted, with possible rule changes planned for next planting season contingent on November board actions and January hearings.
