4-28-14 plant product exports

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The exporting of plant products from Wisconsin continues to be strong, thanks largely to a booming Asian market. The state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection reported this week that first quarter totals continue to be on the same record pace as the last three quarters of 2013. The number of export certificates issued by the department between January and March is up 60 percent when compared to last year.
