Maintain local heritage of agricultural land
Across Wisconsin, 22,500 acres of farmland were converted to urban development annually from 1992 to 2010. Nearly as much non-farm land was developed for highways, rural housing, and industrial purposes. In the eight-county area served by North Central Conservancy Trust (NCCT), over 2,100 acres of farmland, and nearly 5,000 acres of open land in total, are developed each year.
