Drought Pinches Wisconsin Farms With 550 Million Loan Need
UW Extension estimates show 50,000 to 60,000 of Wisconsin’s 104,000 farmers may seek about 10,000 per farm in loans to survive the drought. Banks, credit unions, and government officials met to map aid as trouble from failed feed crops broadens costs and lowers income across operations. State Agriculture Secretary Rohde cited hardship for feed-buying farms and broader financial strain for all affected farmers.
