Wisconsin farmers, as well as those across the nation, saw sharp increases in prices received over the last year and a half. Increased demand for most agricultural commodities pushed prices up at the same time that input costs were increasing. Fertilizer, fuel, seeds, and feed saw double digit percentage increases from a year ago. In these changing times, it is very important to have extensive current and historic agricultural data. The 2008 issue of Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics contains information on the state’s crop, livestock, and dairy production that is used by farms and businesses in their production, marketing, and planning activities.
