Central Wisconsin Farm Profitability Expo
Event Date
Location
Wisconsin Rapids Campus - L118
The Central Wisconsin Farm Profitability Expo is working to encourage profitable farming by building resiliency, diversifying farming operations, reducing inputs, and increasing farmer return on investment.
Attendees at the expo will learn about conservation practices farmers can use to increase profitability and self-sufficiency while being stewards of the land, such as regenerative management, cover and companion crops, and no-till farming. Central Wisconsin farmers will discuss the specific barriers they are experiencing when adopting best management practices through panel discussion with fellow farmers who have implemented these practices. Attendees will also explore the unique partnerships that can be created when merging agriculture and conservation.
This event is free to participants due to funding provided by Wood County Land and Water Conservation. Registration is required.
