Wisconsin Administrative Code
Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection
ATCP 20-54 - Agricultural Resource Management
Chapter ATCP 50 - Soil And Water Resource Management Program
Subchapter II - Soil and Water Conservation on Farms


Current through February 24, 2025

Under s. 281.16, Stats., DNR is primarily responsible for adopting performance standards to prevent pollution runoff from farms. The department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection ("DATCP") must prescribe conservation practices to implement the DNR performance standards. DATCP must also establish soil conservation and farm nutrient management requirements. This subchapter spells out a single set of farm conservation practices that incorporates DNR performance standards by reference. Counties play a major role in implementing conservation practices on farms (see subchapter III of this chapter). Conservation requirements are contingent on cost-sharing (see s. ATCP 50.08).
