Governor outlines cautious optimism for Wisconsin economy
Gov. Lee Dreyfus addressed about 500 at the Randall farm in Polk County praising conservation-tillage and announcing October as Coop Month. He warned of federal borrowing, urged reduced spending rather than tax increases, and predicted a coming housing and automotive boom as inflation falls. He urged marital tax reform and praised farmers as environmental stewards while highlighting the growing role of cooperatives in tough times.

Dreyfus urges marketing focus for Wisconsin agriculture secretary
Gov. Lee Dreyfus told The Country Today he wants a secretary with strong marketing background to help farmers sell products, not necessarily a farm background. He noted the board seeks a replacement for Gary Rohde and criticized a butter export sale to New Zealand, warning it could aid Soviet buildup. He also said Wisconsin will eventually build the veterinary school, though delayed by vetoes.
