In the next hour, we’re talking about chronic wasting disease and deer farms. Earlier this month, a Washington County farm with links to a property in Bayfield County had a buck that tested positive for CWD. We’ll talk with one of the farm’s owners, Jane Stolz, and Bayfield County Zoning and Planning Director Rob Schierman about plans to depopulate the deer herd.
Plus, State Representative Nick Milroy talks about what he says is lax regulation of deer farms and what more he’d like to see from the state. And, we’ll hear from State Veterinarian Dr. Paul McGraw about the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture's oversight of deer farms and why he doesn’t believe they’re a major pathway for spreading the disease.
