CONSERVATION IN ACTION TOUR TO FEATURE EXCEPTIONAL FARMERS ON THE GREAT PLAINS
Source: Conservation Technology Information Center news release

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND.--Conservation Technology Information Center (CTIC) has opened registration for its 18th annual Conservation in Action Tour, a two-day celebration that includes behind-the-scenes ag industry stops and farm tours showcasing exceptional conservation agriculture, May 6-7, 2025, in Sioux Falls, S.D.

This unique planting-season tour will include multiple farm stops so attendees can get new perspectives on how management practices in the fall and early spring help optimize crop production for a cropping year. Attendees will get real-world insights on challenges producers face and the solutions they need to help drive the next generation of program design, strategic partnerships, engagement tactics and implementation guidelines. Ag industry stops will feature upstream and downstream value chain partners to understand how they are supporting producers.

With a record attendance of 270 attendees from 20 states, the Tour has a track record of national attention from many different sectors of agriculture. Producers, advisers, agribusiness representatives, elected officials, policymakers, researchers, and conservation agriculture agencies from the national, state and local levels experience innovative farming that makes a difference on crop production and communities.

"The Conservation in Action Tour is a true cross-section of all sectors that serve producers, from policymakers to program implementers, and from multinational agribusinesses to local technical assistance providers," says Ryan Heiniger, executive director of CTIC. "This multidisciplinary group provides perspectives that we don't get every day in our individual silos of work. It's a melting pot of ideas that lay the foundation for inspiration, innovation and lasting friendships with the success and resiliency of the American producer as the common thread that connects us all."

This is CTIC's first Conservation in Action Tour in the Great Plains. The Tour began in 2008, showcasing successful farmers in Indiana who prioritize soil and water quality. It has grown into the gold standard of farm tours and has featured agricultural innovation in 13 states across 17 Tours. Participants have seen sugarcane harvesting in Florida, aerial seeding demonstrations in Illinois, wheat processing in Michigan, and livestock grazing in Idaho. Featured farms reside in watersheds as big as the Chesapeake Bay and the Mississippi Delta and as small, but no less important, as the Indian Creek (Illinois) Watershed.

Early bird registration is open until Feb. 15, and standard pricing will be available through April 15. Special group pricing is available.

A room block at the Holiday Inn City Centre in Sioux Falls is available until April 5.
