2012 Senate Farm Bill

Air Date:
Heard On Route 51

Route 51 host Glen Moberg is on vacation this week, so we will be simulcasting WPR’s The West Side from the Eau Claire bureau. The West Side host, Rich Kremer will be joined by Tom Quinn, executive director of the Wisconsin Farmers Union and Jim Holt, board member with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation. Guests will discuss the recently passed, five year, half-trillion dollar farm bill and the controversial dairy security act which remained intact through the bill’s passage. Guests will also discuss how weather conditions in the state, including drought in the south and flooding in the north, have affected this year’s crops.
