Governor celebrates Fall Agricultural Tourism

Corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and harvest festivals are adding important tourism dollars to the state before the first snowflakes fly.,

 

Gov. Tony Evers last week visited communities across the state to celebrate Wisconsin's fall agricultural tourism season after declaring September 19th through October 31st as Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Fall Season. 

 

 

Wisconsin's agricultural industry is a major economic driver for the state, providing 435,700 jobs and generating $104.8 billion annually to the statewide economy.  Once the leaves begin to turn, the agricultural tourism industry adds millions of dollars for the state by offering visitors outdoor, family-friendly, and experiential farm-based entertainment such as farm-to-table events, corn mazes, pumpkin patches, harvest festivals, farm stays, and more.
