Economic Impact of Agriculture in Wisconsin
Wisconsin's farms and agricultural businesses generate more than $51.5 billion in economic activity and provide jobs for 420,000 people. New research from University of Wisconsin-Madison and UW-Extension shows how important agriculture is to the state's economy.
