KIT CARSON, CO – Jan. 28, 2019 – Thirty-one sessions at the High Plains No-Till Conference in Burlington, Colorado have been approved for certified crop adviser credits. Ten of those sessions will also offer continuing education credits for licensed qualified supervisors, certified operators, and private applicators.

In addition to a trade show and outdoor equipment display, breakout sessions will be presented on an assortment of subjects, including the 2018 Farm Bill, soil health, regenerative grazing, farm profitability, and technology. Farmers will also share their first-hand experience with no-till and other conservation methods on producer panels dedicated to both dryland and irrigated production.
“We’re excited about the lineup we have for this year,” said Joni Mitchek, coordinator for the Colorado Conservation Tillage Association. “There will be a great variety of topics, which allows us to offer quite a few education credits as well.”
