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.
