Farm Technology Days is a premier agricultural event in Wisconsin, showcasing the latest innovations and best practices in farming. The DNR's presence underscores the agency's commitment to collaborating with the agricultural community – a vital sector of Wisconsin's economy – to ensure sustainable land use and protect the state's natural resources.

What to Expect at the DNR Booth

Why Conservation and Resource Management Matter

Wisconsin's natural resources are the foundation of our state's economy, recreation, and quality of life. Effective conservation and resource management are essential for:

• Protecting Water Quality: Ensuring clean water for drinking, recreation, and agriculture.
• Enhancing Wildlife Habitat: Supporting healthy populations of fish and game species.
• Improving Soil Health: Promoting sustainable farming practices that protect soil fertility and prevent erosion.
• Mitigating Climate Change: Forests and wetlands play a crucial role in carbon sequestration.

Collaboration is Key

The DNR recognizes that achieving these goals requires collaboration with all stakeholders, including farmers, landowners, businesses, and community organizations. Farm Technology Days provides an ideal platform for fostering dialogue and building partnerships.
