Farm Programs & Local Resources

Last Updated: March 2026 | Always verify with your local USDA office. Report an error

Oneida County is heavily forested with over 1,000 lakes and extensive wetlands in Wisconsin's Northwoods. The terrain is relatively flat with sandy soils and limited areas suitable for agriculture due to forest cover and short growing seasons.

Agricultural activity is very limited, consisting mainly of small hay operations and seasonal crops in forest clearings. Many properties combine limited farming with forestry, tourism, or recreational activities rather than commercial agriculture.
