Senate Bill 412 aims to establish a farmland link program within the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) to connect property owners and agricultural operators with individuals seeking to use land exclusively for agricultural purposes. The bill mandates DATCP to provide various resources and assistance, including support for land transfers, collaboration with nonprofit organizations, and the publication of informational resources related to the program. Additionally, the bill requires the establishment of a publicly accessible website for the program.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that DATCP must submit an annual report to the governor and relevant legislative committees detailing the number of farms, acres, and users served by the program in the previous year. This initiative is designed to enhance agricultural land use and facilitate connections between landowners and prospective agricultural users, thereby promoting agricultural sustainability in Wisconsin.
