No public benefit. Exempts a single constituent from state wetland protection requirements. Unfair to the thousands of Wisconsin residents and corporations that successfully navigate the wetland regulatory permit system each year.

Comments
We support the effort to revise the use-value forumula but believe the current definition of agricultural lands in this rule leads to flaws in how the forumula is applied.
