MADISON – The Wisconsin Ag Coalition applauds the Wisconsin State Assembly and Senate after both voted unanimously to pass Senate Bill 247 yesterday. The bill, authored by Senators Marklein (R-Spring Green), Tomczyk (R-Mosinee) and Ballweg (R-Markesan), and Representatives Tranel (R-Cuba City) and VanderMeer (R-Tomah), creates an Agricultural Road Improvement Program (ARIP) to provide grants for local governments to repair and rebuild crumbling roads and bridges that create problems for farmers. The Ag Coalition thanks local government partners, other coalition members and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for their support to move this important initiative.
