10-20-30 Initiative
It is time to once again invest in the backbone of Wisconsin agriculture…its diversity. Luckily, we aren’t starting from scratch. The 10-20-30 Initiative describes how a number of emerging crops can be brought across the finish line and made a reality with a goal of 10 new crops on 20,000 acres by 2030.
