“Wisconsin Agriculture During a Second Trump Presidency”
The 2025 Wisconsin Agricultural Outlook Forum will begin with a morning devoted to Situation and Outlook presentations for farm income and the state’s major commodities: dairy, livestock, corn, and soybeans, as well as key updates from the newly released Contributions of Agriculture to the Wisconsin Economy. The afternoon will focus on Wisconsin Agriculture During a Second Trump Presidency with panel discussions on macro-scale markets and trade and more local-scale farms and communities. The goal of the afternoon program is to help attendees better understand and prepare for shifts in policies and programs that may occur with the new administration.
