Farmer to Farmer Network
 
 During this extensive drought, our Wisconsin farmers have been dealt an unfortunate hand. Last week, while at Heartland Farms in Colburn, I stood with Governor Walker as he announced the Farmer to Farmer Network.
 
The Farmer to Farmer Hay, Forage and Corn List puts Wisconsin Farmers in touch with one another to assist them in buying and selling corn and forage products. Folks can list different types of agricultural goods like hay, alfalfa and corn silage without any cost to either the buyers or sellers. Our hope is that Wisconsin farmers will be able to work together to make the best of a terrible situation.
