The New Year is barely underway, but Wisconsin farmers can bet 2012 will be a big year for them.The Wisconsin Farm Bureau is out with their [url=http://wfbf.com/farm-bureau-news/farm-bureau-picks-for-2012/]annual predictions of the top stories of the coming year[/url]. In no particular order, they say the U.S. Farm Bill, 'Wisconsin's' never-ending election cycle, new Federal regulations, trade and food security issues will have a huge impact on the ag industry next year.
Farm Bureau President Bill Bruins predicts a good 2011 for farmers, coupled with the federal government awash in red ink, will lead to a drastically different looking U.S. farm bill. There will likely be cutbacks in subsidies and income supports.
