U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will be in the Badger State this week to highlight an investment by the USDA to expand markets for climate-smart commodities, leverage the greenhouse gas benefits of climate-smart commodity production and provide benefits to production agriculture.
The gathering will take place on Thursday on a small farm in Arkansaw, located in Pepin County.
USDA officials say the investment will increase the competitive advantage of U.S. agriculture both domestically and internationally, combat the climate crisis and strengthen rural America.
