They're hosting the Upper Midwest Farmland Summit, bringing together practitioners, service providers, conservation organizations, lenders, policymakers, researchers, and farmers to address the evolving landscape of farmland access and transfer in the Upper Midwest.

Those workshops will be held December 1st in Fond du Lac, December 2nd in Dodgeville, the 3rd in Marathon County, and on the 4th in Kaukauna.
