*Conservation Agriculture is an ecosystem approach to regenerative
sustainable agriculture and land management based on the practical
application of context-specific and locally adapted three interlinked
principles of: (i) Continuous no or minimum mechanical soil disturbance
(no-till seeding/planting and weeding, and minimum soil disturbance with
all other farm operations including harvesting);  (ii) permanent
maintenance of soil mulch cover (crop biomass, stubble and cover crops);
and (iii) diversification of cropping system (economically, environmentally
and socially adapted rotations and/or sequences and/or associations
involving annuals and/or perennials, including legumes and cover crops),
along with other complementary good agricultural production and land
management practices. Conservation Agriculture systems are present in all
continents, involving rainfed and irrigated systems including annual
cropland systems, perennial systems, orchards and plantation systems,
agroforestry systems, crop-livestock systems, pasture and rangeland
systems, organic production systems and rice-based systems. Conservation
Tillage, Reduced Tillage and Minimum Tillage are not Conservation
Agriculture, and nor is No-Till on its own* (more at:

*Don't Miss These Highly-Educational Bonus Workshops*

*How No-Tilling Hemp Could Add to Your Operation's Bottom Line*

January 7, 2:00 p.m. -5:00 p.m.

Legal changes in the most recent Farm Bill approved by Congress created a
burgeoning market in the U.S. for hemp, which can be grown for both fiber
and CBD products. But raising this specialty crop is much different than
traditional row crops, whether you’re talking about seeding practices,
genetics, harvest methods or dealing with the legal requirements, says
Holtwood, Pa., no-tiller Steve Groff. During this special workshop, Groff
will share his early experiences raising 70 acres hemp for the CBD market
and provide attendees with an understanding of what’s required to break
into this market, the equipment and fertility requirements, and what
mistakes to avoid. He’ll even share how cover crops can be incorporated
with hemp plants to facilitate soil health and provide nutrients for
optimal growth.

*Courting the Two 'M's' that Make or Break Your Soil's Biological System*

January 7, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Tiny organisms play a powerful role in building productive no-till soils,
but a lot still must be learned about the specific players in the system
and how to maximize their presence and effectiveness. Two of these
invaluable organisms are metarhizium and mycorrhizal fungi and they’re both
essential to your soil resource, says Jim Hoorman. During this special
workshop, the former NRCS educator and owner of Hoorman Soil Health
Services will introduce metarhizium fungi and define its role as a soil
health parasite to over 200 insect species and recycler of soil nitrogen.
Hoorman will also outline the importance of mycorrhizal fungi functions,
report on what mycorrhizae species are present in the soil and which ones
are needed to improve agricultural production, as well as discuss ag
products that are harmful or helpful to establishment of these fungi in
no-till systems.

Both workshops have limited capacity and each costs just an additional $99
to attend. Sign up during online conference registration or by calling
(262) 432-0388 or (866) 839-8455 Mon.-Fri. 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CDT
