Colorado Conservation Tillage Association to host conference in February 2010Colorado The 22nd High Plains No-Till Conference will be held Feb. 2 and 3, 2010, at the Community Center in Burlington. Each year, producers, agricultural business professionals and educators from states in the High Plains region come together to learn new techniques and the latest technology about products, equipment and research for no-till, minimum-till, conservation practices; and discuss current farming issues. There will be over 50 breakout sessions to choose from during this two- day conference and Murray Wise, CEO, of the Westchester Group Inc., a global agriculture asset management company, will be the keynote speaker. The conference is complete with a Trade Show of 50 vendors and equipment displays. Vendors will be available throughout the entire conference. Pre-registration for the conference is $100 for attendees, ($130 at the door), $70 for spouse (pre and at-door).

Registration forms are available on the website: www.HighPlainsNoTill.com or contact Kathy Rickart, Co-Conference Coordinator to have one mailed or e-mailed to you. Visit the website for additional information about the Conference program, breakout descriptions, CEU's, the Ag Scholarship Program and the Ag Scholarship Benefit Dinner that is part of the conference. The Colorado Conservation Tillage Association was founded in 1988 to serve the needs of producers searching for new ways to diversify their farms and better utilize their resources. The association is a collaboration of experienced farmers working with industry and University personnel whose goal is to spread research and on-farm gained information with others. Through this association, in cooperation with the National Sunflower Association, producers have been able to utilize new technologies and techniques to enhance their overall economic position. Traditionally a wheat-summer fallow area of the Great Plains, the High Plains region has seen dramatic change in climate, water availability, alternative fuel use, alternative crops and cropping methods--all issues addressed, in part, by CCTA and the High Plains No-Till Conference. CCTA--an association of farmers who have been farming "green" for 22 years or more, "before" green was the thing to do.
