Gov. Evers Announces Budget Investments to Support Wisconsin’s Farmers, Producers, Agricultural Industries Statewide

MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers, together with Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) Secretary Randy Romanski, today announced his plans to invest more than $80 million in his 2025-27 Executive Budget that will be introduced later this month to support Wisconsin farmers and farm families, producers, and processors and the state’s $116 billion agricultural industry statewide.

“Our farmers, farm families, and producers have been the backbone of our state for generations. Whether it’s been supporting the future research and workforce this industry needs to keep up with the demands of the 21st Century, ensuring rural communities have good roads, broadband, and water infrastructure to be successful, or fighting to make sure farmers have the support and mental health resources they need, I’m proud of our work to support Wisconsin farmers and farm families over the past six years. Our next state budget will continue to build upon our efforts to invest our farmers, producers, and agricultural industries,” said Gov. Evers. “Wisconsin’s agricultural industries are not only vital to our state’s economic success, they are part of our DNA as Wisconsinites and our culture and heritage. We’re going to keep working to support this vital industry and the farm families who make it all possible.”...
