Butler County residents now have their shot to attend the upcoming Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society’s Healthy Farms Conference.
the event is set to run Jan. 31-Feb. 1 at the Ramada Midtown Hotel in Grand Island. Online registration is available at www.sustainablenebraska.org.
The Healthy Farms Conference has been hosted by the Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society for more than 40 years. The conference combines farmer-to-farmer training with sessions aimed at equipping farmers, aspiring farmers, foodies, and advocates with the skills and knowledge about sustainable agriculture.
Dave Vetter and Bill Bullard are the keynote speakers planned for the event. Vetter is the chief executive officer of Grain Place Foods. He has been a leader in organic agriculture in central Nebraska and the world for over 40 years. Bullard is the Chief Executive Officer of the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA). He has been an advocate for cattle producers for nearly 20 years.
Headquartered in Marquette, Grain Place Foods began as one of the first organic farming operations in the Great Plains. It expanded into a grain cleaning and storing operation to serve fellow organic farmers. It has since grown into a company that provides grain products that are grown and produced in an ecologically sustainable and socially responsible manner to customers across the U.S. and Canada.
