Agr board seeks extra 7.5 million for soil and waste plans
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection asks the governor and lawmakers for about 7.5 million more over two years to fund soil erosion control, the Wisconsin Farmers Fund, and county conservation aids. The request targets 6 million for erosion work and 3.7 million for the fund, with 1.1 million currently budgeted. County programs would need 140,000 more. Ken Lindquist urged backing the plan as mandated, noting leaders must fund implementation to meet 2000 erosion goals. The board also approved a 1987 89 budget of 61.2 million with eight more food inspectors funded by reallocation.
