Yahara Pride Farms to Host Watershed-Wide Conference
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 02/18/2020
Yahara Pride Farms will hold its annual Watershed-Wide conference on March 5 at the Comfort Inn and Suites in DeForest. Leaders of the farmer-led conservation group say the event will showcase speakers on a variety of topics in modern sustainable
agriculture.
A presentation by Yahara Pride Farms field consultant Patrick Murphy will update farmers on the current composting program and will include a panel of expert farmers who have participated in the composting initiative.
Information will be distributed to farmers on how to enroll in the 2020 cost-share program and what will be offered. Producers will also be able to sign up to use the new manure tanker, tractor, and low disturbance manure injection tool bar purchased in
partnership with Dane County, Yahara WINs and Clean Lakes Alliance.
Attendees will also hear from resource manager Dennis Frame, who will update farmers on current programs. And a keynote by Mark Aquino of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will focus on the DNR's relationship with the farmer-led
watershed movement and how the agency views this collaborative model as a way to make environmental progress.
More than 100 farmers, agribusiness professionals and community members are expected to attend the free educational event.
