Map of Wisconsin showing counties colored according to their representation (number of bienniums) in the survey data: green = seven; dark blue = six; light blue = five; purple = four; orange = three; yellow = two; red = one; white = not included. The star symbol indicates counties with soybean planted on more than 15,000 ha in 2021. Nine agricultural districts are outlined in bold.
