This feature class contains the location of \"Agricultural Enteprise Areas\" (AEAs) in Wisconsin. This feature class was created by DATCP by standardizing and aggregating data submitted by counties as part of the AEA petition process. The AEA petition process occurs annually, so this feature class is updated annually as new AEAs are approved. This feature class was last updated in February 2017. (URLs updated July 2016)
