Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources wants to hold a virtual listening session to discuss wolf management, but Farm Bureau says the meeting format isn’t fair to farmers.
President Kevin Krentz tells Brownfield many farmers in the areas most affected by wolves don’t have adequate broadband coverage to participate in a virtual event. “What we want is for them to have a hearing in a prime wolf habitat area, mainly northern Wisconsin so that we can have Wisconsin residents having a voice in this process.”
Krentz says the virtual listening session does not have a residential requirement, meaning pro-wolf or anti-farm activists who don’t live in rural areas would have an unfair advantage.
