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), has distributed a total of $41.6 million to nearly 12,000 Wisconsin farmers with each recipient receiving a $3,500 payment.
The program is funded by $50 million provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, and $8.4 million was remaining after the first round of the program. The second round is open to farmers whose gross income from farming is between $10,000 and $5 million. Applications will be accepted beginning Aug. 10.
