Reducing the Spread of Invasive Species

From Weekly News Article by the Central Office Wisconsin DNR

MADISON – The Wisconsin Council on Forestry is seeking public feedback on the last in a series of voluntary Best Management Practices that focus on reducing the spread of invasive species from transportation and utility corridors into nearby forested areas.

“We hope these voluntary guidelines can minimize the introduction and spread of invasive species in transportation and utility corridors. They should work if the practices become a regular part of planning, construction, and maintenance activities,” said Bernadette Williams, an invasive species specialist with the Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry.

The draft Invasive Species Best Management Practices for Transportation and Utility Rights-of-Ways in Wisconsin is available on the Invasive Species Best Management Practices page of the Wisconsin Council on Forestry Web site. Utilities and transportation representatives, government agencies, environmental groups, and the general public are invited to review the document and then participate in an online survey on the voluntary suggestions included in the manual.

Wisconsin Agricultural Land Prices

From the WASFMRA: Wisconsin land values have been increasing steadily for the past several years.

The upward run in land prices is both a blessing and a curse for the Wisconsin dairy community. Increased equity from land appreciation provides security and potential borrowing power to the current owners, but high land prices also result in pressure for higher land rental rates and raise significant entry barriers for young farmers.

Many factors combine to determine land values – earnings potential, financing costs and real estate taxes to name just a few. This paper examines more than 9,400 Wisconsin large bare farmland sales between non-related parties between 2001 and 2008.

See where values are in your County!

Land of 10,000 Taxes coming After more

Minnesota officials are canceling an agreement with Wisconsin that allowed residents of one state to file a single state income tax return if they worked across the border.
The cancellation stands to affect 33,500 Wisconsin taxpayers and only 13,000 Minnesota residents. Many western Wisconsin residents travel to the Twin Cities for work, while residents farther north work in Duluth.

Wisconsin farmland values well above national average

Wisconsin farmland values are still much higher than the national average, new data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows. The value of the state's farmland with buildings averaged $3,750 per acre, down 3% from 2007 but 79% higher than the $2,100 per acre average for the nation, according to the USDA.
