Farm Bureau opposes Wisconsin corporate farming bill
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau on Tuesday opposed measures to restrict corporate farming, arguing the proposal is based on myth and would affect few farms. The bill would ban farm operations by corporations with more than 15 stockholders, require cessation by 1975, and force disposal of corporate holdings by 1977. Farm officials cited that only about two tenths of one percent of farms are corporate owned.
