Governor Evers and DATCP Secretary Discuss Investing in State Farms and Farm Families

Thursday, February 6th, 2025 -- 10:00 AM

Gov. Tony Evers, together with Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) Secretary Randy Romanski, 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.

Gov. Evers’ 2025-27 Executive Budget will invest in farmers and their operations statewide to support efficiency, resilience, and economic growth for years to come.

Wisconsin’s farmers and producers feed families in Wisconsin and around the globe, ensuring grocery store shelves and household cupboards are stocked with healthy, nutritious food.

Gov. Evers’ budget proposal will include investments to support the state’s supply chain while fighting food insecurity. Gov. Evers knows that Wisconsin farmers are key partners in the work to protect and preserve the state’s natural resources.

Therefore, the governor’s biennial budget proposal includes several investments to help farmers and producers in planning and implementing innovative projects to protect soil, water, and air.

The announcement comes as Gov. Evers announced new comprehensive plans from his upcoming 2025-27 Executive Budget to combat per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination statewide, protect kids and families from harmful water contaminants in 2025, the Year of the Kid, and expand access to clean and safe drinking water for Wisconsinites across the state.
