Farm Bureau questions equalization value interpretation
Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation spokesman says Department of Revenue figures mislead on farmland value decreases. Roger Cliff notes farm improvements fell 1 percent, making total agricultural values down about 6 percent statewide. Door County shows land down 12 percent while improvements rise 17 percent for a net 1 percent decline. Farm Bureau backs changes to the equalization process and support for related legislation.
