County Officials Clash Over Agricultural Agent Plan
Eau Claire County officials dispute the states plan to name an agricultural agent for the Cooperative Extension Service office arguing it limits local selection. A district extension official cites budget cuts of 14 percent this year and 25 percent overall, while Larry Bjork, currently the part time agent in rural Menomonie, replaces Alan Anderson who resigned in April.
