Former Governor and current University of Wisconsin System President Tommy Thompson says he wants improved university relationships with farmers. Thompson told the Wisconsin Agribusiness Classic Thursday he looks forward to stronger, better, and faster relationships in the future. “When you have a problem out on the farm, whether it be for growing crops, nutrients, fertilizer, whether you have problems with your cattle, whether you need help with exports, whether you need help to set up exports, I don’t want you to go anyplace but call a county agent or to call somebody at the Department of Agriculture.”
Thompson says one step towards that goal is to get more university experts in the field.
