Last year [Minnesota] saw a record number of wolf-related calls
From FarmProgress.com:
This year’s Minnesota legislative session is in full swing, and on the list of farmer and rancher concerns is the status of depredation funding for the losses of livestock, standing crops and/or stored forage to wolf, elk and/or deer.
Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association President Jake Thompson, who is a cow-calf producer near Barnesville, testified in both the Minnesota House and Minnesota Senate Ag Committees in late February in support of bills providing continued funding for both elk and wolf depredation funds used to reimburse farmers and ranchers for their losses.
