Wisconsin remains an ag export leader

Consumers around the world continue to buy more Wisconsin foods and agricultural products, according to data released by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.

Wisconsin farms and agribusinesses have exported nearly $2.8 billion worth of agricultural products to 138 countries so far this year, a 17 percent increase over the same period in 2013.

“Our state was built on the success of our hard-working farmers, and others in the agriculture industry,” Gov. Scott Walker said. “We will continue to support advances in technology, and promote expansion, so those working in agriculture can grow their business, increase exports, and create jobs.”
