The University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension is hosting a new conference on water quality, cover crops, and soil health, called WWASH. The conference will be held on December 7-8 at the Kalahari Conference Center in Wisconsin Dells.
The conference will feature three keynote speakers:
- Dr. Rodrigo Werle (UW-Madison) will talk about using cover crops to control weeds.
- Dr. Merrin Macrae (University of Waterloo) will discuss phosphorus losses in cold agricultural regions and how to reduce them.
- Mitchell Hora (Continuum Ag and Iowa Farmer) will share his experiences using cover crops in Iowa.
In addition to the keynote speakers, there will be farmer panels and roundtable discussions on real-world examples of water quality, cover crop, and soil health practices.
The conference is open to farmers and other agriculture professionals from around the state of Wisconsin. Registration is now open, and early bird discounts are available.
The WWASH conference is a great opportunity to learn about the latest research and best practices for water quality, cover crops, and soil health. Attendees will leave the conference with a better understanding of how these practices can help improve the health of Wisconsin's land and water resources.
