Transforming Wisconsin's economy will help meet 21st century challenges: Wisconsin's economy has been made and remade over time. Nineteenth century wheat fields gave way to modern dairy farms and cranberry bogs; territorial lead mines and turn-of-the-century logging camps eventually bowed to world-class manufacturing....
