2023 Session Descriptions

What are the first two questions farmers ask themselves when thinking about bringing visitors to their farm? Will I have to increase my insurance coverage? And, What’s my risk if someone gets hurt while visiting the farm? Join this session to learn about Wisconsin’s Limited Liability Law—a statute that limits farmer’s risk when the public comes to visit, eat, or stay on working farms. We will explain how WI Act 269
works to protect your agricultural tourism destination.
