Assembly Bill 836 proposes to enhance the support for farmers in Wisconsin by increasing the number of authorized positions within the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Specifically, the bill adds two full-time positions dedicated to regional farmer support. To accommodate these new positions, the bill also increases the department's appropriation for the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27, with an increase of $150,400 for the first year and $200,500 for the second year.

The bill outlines the fiscal changes necessary to implement these additions, specifically referencing the increase in the dollar amount for the department's appropriation under section 20.115 (3) (a). This legislative action aims to bolster the resources available to farmers, thereby enhancing agricultural support services in the state.
