(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -Got a question for the folks who run the state's agriculture department? Then be sure to bring them to Wisconsin Farm Technology Days in Walworth County next week.Staff members of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection and University of Wisconsin-Extension will be available in three different areas in Tent City to connect with visitors. This year, DATCP will have a booth on the Producer-Led Watershed Protection grants in the Education Station. These grants are intended to help farmers find solutions best suited for their particular watersheds and work to increase farmer participation in these voluntary efforts. Representatives from the Division of Animal Health, Wisconsin Farm Center, Pollinator Protection and the Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics Service will also be available in the Progress Pavilion to answer questions.
And in the Family Living Tent, Bureau of Consumer Protection staff will answer questions about common consumer complaints such as telemarketing, landlord/tenant issues and identity theft. Consumers will be able to take home information to protect themselves against common scams. Farm Technology Days is slated for July 19-21 at Snudden Farms near Lake Geneva.
