Farm Progress Days highlights backbone of nation
Wisconsin attorney general George Thompson told a packed grandstand at the 10th annual Wisconsin Farm Progress Days in Viroqua that farm folks are the real backbone of the nation and that food, clothing, and shelter are essential. Donald McDowell praised agriculture leadership as 40 percent of people are involved in some phase of farming, and officials noted the event showcases past progress and future promise with tours, grain and tobacco plots, weed control, and antique equipment on display through the weekend.

Outlook Fair To Good To Approve Tax Compromise
The Madison Bureau reports the budget stalemate in Wisconsin may move toward resolution as Senate support for the compromise grows. Governor Reynolds needs half the Democratic minority in the Assembly to back the plan, with key figure Robert Huber pivotal for Democratic backing. Without cross party votes, Republicans risk blocking a settlement and potential party infighting continues. See OUTLOOK, Page 8.
