Make plans now to attend the 2024 Nebraska Grazing Conference in Kearney at the Younes Conference Center on August 6 and 7.
A field tour kicks off the conference on Tuesday, August 6 from 9:00 to 11:30 am at the Platte River Prairies south of Wood River. Grassland soils and soil health will be the focus of this field activity. There is no fee to attend the field tour.
The formal part of the conference will begin Tuesday afternoon with recognition of the Trumler Ranch, who was the 2023 Leopold Conservation Award winner. The main focus of the afternoon program will be on soil health and grasslands with speakers covering soil health measurements, carbon markets, grassland productivity, and grassland stability.
On Tuesday evening, we will host a banquet with Dr. Ray Ward as the featured speaker. Dr. Ward will reflect on a career in soils and plant quality analysis.
The Wednesday morning session on August 7 will be devoted to grassland wildlife.
Sponsor and exhibitor booths will showcase new programs, equipment, and products to conference participants.
