SB 412 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: creation of a farmland link program. (FE)

SB 412 creates a state-run "farmland link program" to connect property owners with land available for farming to farmers or agricultural businesses seeking land exclusively for farming. The program, managed by the state department (likely Agriculture), will operate a public website for these connections and provide assistance with land transfers. The department must report annually to the governor and legislature on the number of farms, acres, and users served by the program. This directly affects landowners, farmers, and agricultural businesses seeking to use land for farming purposes.
