Driftless Region Beef Conference

Date: Thursday, January 31st, 2013 to Friday, February 1st, 2013

Location: Grand River Convention Center, Dubuque, Iowa

Contact: ISU Ag and Natural Resources Extension, (515) 294-6429, anr@iastate.edu

With nearly 2.5 million cattle in the four-state driftless region, Cooperative Extension in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin have teamed up to offer the 2013 Driftless Region Beef Conference. The first event will be held on January 31 and February 1, 2013, at the Grand River Convention Center in Dubuque, Iowa.

The Driftless Region includes beautiful rolling hills, clean streams, and karst soil topography.  Conservation of our soils and protection of our waters are best accomplished with much of the land seeded to forage production. That requires cattle to consume these forages. The Driftless Beef Conference will focus on efficient and economic beef and forage production.
