Among Wisconsin’s communities, the Village of Plover stands out for its place in the Central Sands, one of the state’s principal potato-growing areas. The Plover River runs through the village on its way to the Wisconsin River, connecting this compact Portage County community with the wider river corridor around Stevens Point. Agriculture remains central to local life, as sandy soils and irrigation support potato and vegetable farms across the region. An oversized potato masher monument outside the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association gives Plover a memorable agricultural landmark.
