[Minnesota] Lawmakers discuss refreshing fund that pays farmers for wolf, elk damage
From KAXE.org:
ST. PAUL — Farmers whose livestock is killed by wolves or whose crops and fences are damaged by elk would see continuing help from the state under a bill debated by a Minnesota House committee during the third week of the legislative session.
The bill proposes an increase of $125,000 to funds that distribute compensation to farmers for damage caused by the wild animals. Individual farmers can receive payments of up to $20,000 per year once damage is proven.
