LAWMAKER SAYS FARMERS SHOULD SUPPORT “LEMON LAW” AG EQUIPMENT BILL

Farmers need to make their voices heard on agricultural equipment “lemon law” legislation. That from state Representative and farmer Travis Tranel of Cuba City, after no one testified on the bill during a public hearing at the Capitol this week. Tranel said although farmers are busy right now with spring planting, they and farm organizations need to show up for issues that are important to them, because their voices matter. The bill would entitle farmers to be eligible for replacement or refund, if equipment repairs are not correctly completed after four trips to a service department or if the equipment is out of service for 30 days.
