Record keeping is an important tool that can assist in making production decisions easier and improves the profitability of the farming operation. Attached are two record keeping forms that can assist you:

The Wisconsin Premises Registration Act requires anyone who keeps, houses, or co-mingles livestock to register their premises.

WLIC is a multi-species effort led by Wisconsin’s livestock and industry organizations in cooperation with DATCP, USDA, and UW Extension.

Premises registration is the foundation for a national animal ID trace back system.
A database of locations where livestock are produced, raised, and kept will aid animal health officials. For online premise registration or for more information visit the following site, http://www.datcp.state.wi.us/premises/index.jsp

On April 13, 2004, Governor Doyle signed a new law that strikes a balance between growing animal agriculture, protecting the environment, and respecting local decision making.

The new law, 2003 Wisconsin Act 235 directs the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to develop a rule that provides a predictable framework for county and municipal decisions to site or expand livestock facilities. To learn more about the new law and its progress, visit their web site.
