Agricultural Development & Diversification Program

Wisconsin’s $59 billion agriculture industry is known for its diversity. DATCP seeks to assist projects that will help stimulate Wisconsin’s agricultural economy through the development or exploration of new product, markets or technologies.

Individuals, associations, agribusinesses and industry groups can contact DATCP for technical assistance to advance their project. DATCP staff can help identify possible sources of financial support, work with you to create a business plan and generate a working budget, or connect you with resources to assist your projects.
