Dairy Tops Meat and Feed in Wisconsin’s Agriculture Sector

By Wyatt Eichholz

Farmers in Wisconsin sold twice as much dairy as meat products in 2023 and more of both than feed crops, the latest Annual Statistics Bulletin for the state from the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service found.

Dairyland farmers sold $6.2 billion in dairy products in 2023, followed by $3 billion in meat sales.

The largest crop sectors by cash receipts were feed crops at $2.5 billion, and oil crops, like soybeans and canola, at $1.5 billion. Eggs and poultry sales were worth $558 million. Rounding out the list were vegetables and melons, fruits and nuts, and all other crops.
