County votes will decide on creating areas to eradicate bovine tuberculosis. Petitions seek submission at the general election date. The farm bureau backs the measure while the farmers union strongly opposes it, stirring friction among five groups. Milo Reno of the farmers union accuses the farm bureau of caving in, arguing taxes spent on eradication are justified.
