ONEIDA COUNTY - Agriculture might not come to mind when you think of Oneida County, but the county does support some farming. The state gives some tax credits to farmers in the county for continuing to farm their land.
The Oneida County Land and Water Conservation Department approved a renewal the program at a meeting Tuesday night. It will now head to the county board, but a representative from Wausau says the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) also gave an extension for the rest of 2015.
The Oneida County Farmland Preservation Program has been in place since 1983. DATCP uses it to preserve working lands in Wisconsin. That's so we have food and fiber.
