In Wisconsin, agriculture is a $59.16 billion industry and offers the state's residents nearly 354,000 jobs. Dairy's $26.5 billion comprises nearly half of that total agriculture contribution. The University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Wisconsin Extension - Cooperative Extension recently conducted a study to better understand agriculture's role in Wisconsin's economy at a county level. Visit the Economic Impact of Agriculture in Wisconsin website for a complete review of this study. The study's ag impact results by county can be found in the table below.
