ABOUT US

OUR MISSION

To grow the prosperity of Wisconsin's agribusinesses through advocacy, education, and engagement.

OUR VISION

To be the foremost resource and ally for Wisconsin's agribusinesses and their industry partners.

OUR HISTORY

The Wisconsin Agri-Business Association has a long, proud history. A merger in 2012 between the Wisconsin Crop Production Association and the Wisconsin Agri-Service Association made the organization what it is today, but our origins trace back all the way to 1936. No matter what our organization's name has been, our commitment to Wisconsin's agribusiness industry has never wavered. Our board of directors and staff are dedicated to the industry and to providing programs and services designed to strengthen the future of agriculture.
