Issue Position: Standing Up For Rural Wisconsin

Issue Position

Fighting For Farmers
Farming is about more than just business -- it's a way of life. Wisconsin farmers and the workers connected to our agriculture industry pump more than $88 billion each year into the state's economy.

With our conservative reforms in action, we've lowered property taxes, eliminated almost all the taxable liability on agricultural production, streamlined regulations, reduced frivolous lawsuits and promoted agricultural exports.

Standing with Wisconsin's dairy farmers, Gov. Walker created the Wisconsin Dairy Task Force 2.0 that will allow industry experts to work together to create real solutions that can help our farmers, processors, and allied organizations.

We also increased assistance for rural schools, and our record investment in K-12 classrooms will help children across the state. Knowing that access to high-speed broadband internet is crucial to growing our economy and teaching our children, we've launched a rural broadband initiative and tripled grants for broadband in rural areas.

To help everyone in Wisconsin win the 21st century, we are investing in our rural communities and fighting for the agriculture industry that is crucial to our economy.
