The county-wide Farmland Preservation Plan ensures that the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) requirements are met for successfully protecting areas of land for agricultural or forestry purposes, into the future. This document is intended to fulfill the statutory requirements for both the Farmland Preservation Plan (Chapter 91, Subchapter II, WI Statutes) and the Agricultural Element of the Comprehensive Plan (s66.1001(2), WI Statutes).
In order to be eligible, landowners must be located in a designated farmland preservation area (see Town Farmland Preservation Maps below) and the county must have a Farmland Preservation zoning district. However, currently Oneida County does not have a Farmland Preservation Zoning District. If such an ordinance is put into place, residents would be eligible for participation in voluntary farmland preservation agreements with the state in order to claim farmland preservation tax credits. By entering into this agreement, a farmer agrees to keep land in Agricultural use for 15 years.
