Wisconsin Farmland Preservation Program Touted as Best in Nation
A national study led by USDA official Robert Gray says Wisconsin's 24 year old farmland preservation program appears the most effective in preventing farm land loss. The program blends agricultural zoning with tax credits for farmers, while New York and California use different approaches. By mid 1979 nearly 2 percent of eligible Wisconsin land was covered, with about 1,700 farmers under contracts and 7,700 eligible via zoning actions.
