WWASH Conference
Wisconsin Water and Soil Health Conference
Explore the intersection of on-farm research, soil health, and water quality with other farmers and agriculture professionals through dynamic keynote speakers, interactive breakout sessions, and thought-provoking roundtable discussions.
A merging of the Cover Crops Conference and Discovery Farms Conference in 2023, the Wisconsin Water and Soil Health Conference brings farmers, consultants, and Extension and agency staff to the same table to learn about and talk through what’s new in soil health and water quality.
