Farmland Preservation Program

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Wisconsin's Farmland Preservation Program helps farmers and local governments preserve farmland, protect soil and water, and minimize land use conflicts. Through participation in the program:

• Counties develop farmland preservation plans.
  
• Local governments can develop farmland preservation zoning districts.
  
• Landowner​s and local governments together form Agricultural Enterprise Areas.
  
• Landowners meet soil and water conservation standards to become eligible to claim an income tax credit​​.
