University of Wisconsin-Madison emeritus professor Fred Madison, known fondly as Dr. Dirt, died June 3 at the age of 82. Madison used his extensive knowledge of Wisconsin's soils and his warm personality to help farmers and protect the state's environment.
A memorial service for Madison will be held at 11 a.m. on Aug. 17 at Park Hall in Sauk City.
Madison spent much of his career assessing the effect of agriculture on the surface and groundwater resources of Wisconsin while working with farm families to help address environmental challenges.
