Yahara Pride Farms Watershed-Wide Conference

We invite you to attend Yahara the Pride Farms’ annual Watershed-Wide Conference at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at Comfort Inn & Suites, 5025 County Road V, DeForest. Lunch will be provided; a fish option will also be available.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Frank Mitloehner, a professor and air quality specialist in cooperative extension with the Department of Animal Science at University of California-Davis. Mitloehner’s research and experiences have strong implications for Dane County and the future advancements of animal agriculture and mitigating climate change.

As such, he shares his knowledge and research, both domestically and abroad, with students, scientists, farmers and ranchers, policy makers, and the public at large. He is also director of the CLEAR Center, which has two cores – research and communications. The CLEAR Center brings clarity to the intersection of animal agriculture and the environment, helping our global community understand the environmental and human health impacts of livestock, so we can make informed decisions about the foods we eat and while reducing environmental impacts.

Kim Meyer, an agronomist with Dane County Land and Water Resources Department, will provide an update on the Yahara Pride Farms Cost-Share Program and Dane Demo Farms. More information to come.
