Underground Innovations 2024

Featuring information on cover crops, strip-till, no-till, relay cropping, food-grade grains, intercropping, new crops, precision technology, and new crop markets. Speakers will share how they’ve come to adopt new practices on their farms, how they’ve gotten to this point, and where they are looking to go in the future. Network with producers from across Michigan and beyond to help take ideas home to implement on your own operations.
