Water Conditioning Fraud Warned by Wisconsin Engineer
Agricultural engineer L A Brooks of the University of Wisconsin cautions farmers about strangers selling water conditioning equipment with exaggerated claims. He notes tanks sold for 1200 to 1600 dollars often contain charcoal and a non functioning timer, promising milk yield boosts while offering no proven benefits. Brooks advises buying from local reputable dealers and reading all papers before signing, as signed notes may be sold to lenders and the signer could be held liable.

Graham testifies to the House Agriculture Committee that admin and housekeeping issues remain, not substantive law changes. The program, a five year trial, faces expiration next year with the administration seeking extension.
