Adopt beef production practices that fit where you live. Nearly 2.5 million cattle are in the driftless region of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. These states contain rolling hills, streams, and karst soil topography, so soil and water conservation are best accomplished when much of this land is seeded for forage. Since livestock consumes those forages, the 12th Annual Driftless Region Beef Conference will focus on efficient and economical forage and beef production. This conference brings together beef producers and Extension specialists from these states for an educational program that focuses on production needs and timely topics.
The program Select from eight different workshop topics to develop a customized program. Visit the many conference sponsors in the display area and learn about the products and services they offer.
