Gov. Tony Evers announced that nearly 12,000 Wisconsin farmers received a total of $41.6 million through the Wisconsin Farm Support Program, a joint program between the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR). Each recipient received a $3,500 payment. "Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Wisconsin farmers have never stopped working to ensure that folks have food on their tables and shelves in stores are stocked," said Gov. Evers. "I know this won't cover all the impacts our farmers have faced, but farmers have always had our back and we have to have theirs, and I'm proud of the work that DOR and DATCP have done to support them during this challenging time."
