Mark your calendars for the 2nd Annual Wisconsin Water and Soil Health (WWASH) Conference, set to take place on December 17th and 18th, 2024, at the Kalahari Resort and Conference Center in Wisconsin Dells. This year’s conference promises to be even more impactful, bringing together experts, farmers, and conservationists to discuss the latest advancements in soil health and practices that promote water quality.
Registration is now open: early bird pricing and room blocks are available through November 16.
Three featured keynotes include:
- Dr. Lisa Schulte Moore (Iowa State University) Striving Toward Regenerative Agriculture
- Nick Guilette (Wisconsin Farmer and Crop Advisor) Farmer, Certified Crop Advisor’s Conservationist of the Year, and Door-Kewaunee Demonstration Farms Network co-project manager: will present his vision for soil health and water quality
- Dr. Shalamar Armstrong (Purdue University) Contributions of Cover Crops to Sustainability Intensified Agricultural Systems
Additionally, breakout sessions will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn about a variety of exciting topics, including the multifaceted impacts of cover crops, the fate of herbicides and weeds in soil health systems, and innovative approaches to alternative forages and animal nutrition.
Two farmer panels will focus on the benefits of peer-to-peer learning. Farmers will share lessons from the nitrogen optimization pilot program, and host an interactive discussion on effectively communicating practices to other farmers.
Back by popular demand, our lively roundtables will return with two separate time slots, offering unique networking opportunities.
Learn the latest in water quality and soil health practices, discover new resources, and network at the WWASH Conference hosted by the UW-Madison Division of Extension.
