We’re diving into the upcoming WWASH Conference, where Wisconsin agriculture comes together to advance water quality, soil health, and conservation. The conference is Dec. 16-17 at the Kalahari Resort & Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells.

Now in its third year, WWASH combines the former Discovery Farms and Cover Crops conferences, creating one event focused on both research and real-world farming practices.

Experience new features this year, including two farmer keynote speakers offering dairy and grain perspectives, a lunchtime talk from Wisconsin’s state climatologist on “weather weirdness,” and a stronger spotlight on producer-led groups driving conservation from the ground up, explains coordinator Laura Paletta.

The conference also kicks off the 25th anniversary of Discovery Farms, celebrating a quarter century of on-farm water quality research and collaboration. Plus, regional guests from Iowa State University and the University of Minnesota.
