2017 OGRAIN Organic Grain Production and Marketing Seminar
With organic grain prices as much as three times higher than conventional prices, demand for organic grain far outstripping supply, and potential environmental benefits, opportunities abound in this industry. An engaging weekend-long workshop offered by the Organic Grain Resources and Information Network (OGRAIN) and the Farm and Industry Short Course (FISC) at UW-Madison will help farmers take advantage of the rapidly growing market for organic grain.

The Organic Grain Production and Marketing Seminar will be held Saturday and Sunday, January 21st and 22nd, 2017 on the UW-Madison campus.

The weekend will be filled with presentations, panels, and discussions led by experienced organic farmers, researchers, agency personnel and industry representatives. We'll learn from experts AND the expertise that each participant will bring.
