Share Your Conservation Story at the 20th annual Conservation in Action Tour in Wisconsin
CTIC News
At the 19th annual Conservation in Action Tour in North Carolina, we heard from more than ten producers representing eight crops on topics like conservation practices in cotton to equipment modifications for a soil health system.
As we plan our landmark 20th annual Conservation in Action Tour, we would love to continue hearing producers’ on-the-ground experience. To do that, we’d love to hear from you. Who are the innovative, conservation-minded farmers and ranchers leading the way in Wisconsin? Where are the must-see stops for America’s Premier On-Farm Experience?
The Conservation in Action Tour highlights real-world conservation systems and explores topics such as nutrient and water management, diversified rotations, livestock integration, precision agriculture, and the partnerships that help drive implementation on the ground.
Share your story, or nominate a farmer you know, and be considered as a potential farm stop host, speaker, or behind-the-scenes industry tour for next year’s Conservation in Action Tour.
We’re seeking host farms, producer speakers, and regional partners who are leading by example. Ideal host sites offer field access, compelling conservation agriculture practices or systems, and engagement with peers and national stakeholders. We are also seeking speakers to share an interactive demonstration or story from their experiences with conservation agriculture in Wisconsin, as well as partners who can provide a behind-the-scenes look at various sectors of the agriculture supply chain.
Those encouraged to apply include:
- Farmers and ranchers using or experimenting with conservation practices
- Ag retailers or co-ops engaged in farmer-led conservation support
- University research farms, conservation districts, or watershed coalitions
- Regional ag organizations or food hubs focused on sustainability
To apply, share your story at this link. The form will only take 10-15 minutes to complete. To learn more, contact Elise Koning at [email protected].
