Today is Earth Day, and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection Secretary Designee Randy Romanski is celebrating with Wisconsin ag workers.
In an op-ed, Romanski says that many Wisconsin farmers are already taking a lead role in developing and implementing conservation practices on their land, and they know that the success of our state and the health of our communities would be impossible without healthy soil and water.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) regularly works with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), county land conservation departments, and Extension to provide technical support and administer financial resources to farmers across the state who are interested in pursuing conservation practices in their area.
Part of this plan included increasing the finding for the Producer Led Watershed Program in Governor Evers budget up to $1 million, as well as creating another grant program aimed at conservation.
