The conference will feature four concurrent sessions and nearly 70 speakers from across the U.S. and Canada.

The Bottens family also own and operate Grateful Graze, a direct-to-consumer business offering pasture-raised beef, chicken, pork and eggs.

Tuesday, March 10th, will feature sessions on Agronomic Crop Management, Nutrient Management, Soil Health and Cover Crops, and Precision Ag and Technology. Wednesday features a second session for Agronomic Crop Management and Soil Health. There is also a session focused on Water Quality, and new for 2026, a tract focusing on Farm Management.
