The Wisconsin Potato & Vegetable Growers Association (WPVGA) announced last week that a fund has been established to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any individual or group for stealing metal such as copper or aluminum from WPVGA members' farms.
The reward is in response to a rash of very bold thefts over the past several months ranging from wires off equipment and irrigation systems to metal culverts and other metal parts used in potato storage facilities.
The reward fund, which was used successfully in past years, will pay a significant sum of money for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people responsible for these thefts.
