The Colorado Conservation Tillage Association will offer certified crop adviser credits for 29 sessions at the High Plains No-Till Conference August 24-25 in Burlington, Colorado. One continuing education credit for licensed qualified supervisors, certified operators, and private applicators will also be available. 

Geared toward supporting producers in the High Plains region, this year’s event will take place at the Burlington Community and Education Center. The crop adviser credits approved include seven in Nutrient Management, three in Soil and Water Management, one in Integrated Pest Management, 15 in Crop Management, and three in Professional Development.

“We are excited to be able to offer this selection of credits and educational sessions for this year,” said Joni Mitchek, CCTA Coordinator. “Whether attendees would like to learn more about cover crops and grazing management or carbon markets and estate planning, there will be a great slate of speakers to hear from throughout the conference.”

Among the speakers scheduled to present at the event are keynotes Alejandro Carrillo, Loran Steinlage, and Dr. James White. Carrillo specializes in adaptive grazing in brittle environments, while Steinlage is a no-till producer from Iowa, and Dr. White is a professor of plant biology at Rutgers University.

Other highlights for the High Plains No-Till Conference include an ag-specific trade show, outdoor equipment display, and Beer & Bull Social. A full schedule and more information about the High Plains No-Till Conference can be found online at www.HighPlainsNoTill.com
