The Wisconsin St. Croix County Farmland Preservation Plan (FPP) is a county-level program designed to protect working farms and agricultural lands in St. Croix County, Wisconsin. The FPP is administered by St. Croix County and uses a combination of voluntary and mandatory approaches to preserve farmland and protect it from development. The FPP includes a variety of components, such as restrictive covenants, purchase of development rights, and agricultural easements. The main goals of the FPP are to maintain the economic viability of agricultural operations, preserve the rural character of the county, and protect natural resources. The FPP consists of three main types of plans: the Countywide Farmland Preservation Plan (CFP), the Municipality-Specific Farmland Preservation Plan (MFPP), and the Voluntary Farmland Preservation Plan (FPP). The Countywide Farmland Preservation Plan is a county-wide effort to protect farmland and is the most comprehensive of the three plans. It includes land use restrictions on agricultural lands, such as the establishment of agricultural zoning districts and a farmland protection program that provides incentives to landowners to keep their land in agricultural production. The Municipality-Specific Farmland Preservation Plan is a plan developed by a specific municipality within St. Croix County and is tailored to the local needs of that municipality. Finally, the Voluntary Farmland Preservation Plan is a voluntary program that allows landowners to voluntarily enter into agreements with the county to keep their land in agricultural production. All three plans are designed to protect farmland and agricultural operations in St. Croix County, Wisconsin.
