What does Wisconsin law say about fences in agriculture areas?
There is an old saying that good fences make good neighbors. Chapter 90 of the Wisconsin Statutes sets out rules regarding fences in agricultural areas. The law prescribes when a fence is required, how responsibility for a fence is divided, what a legal fence is and how to resolve disputes between property owners. As growth occurs in rural areas, residential and agricultural uses may come into conflict. Knowing and applying the fence law can help reduce conflicts.
