NW Minnesota Soil & Water Quality Learning Exchange
The Sustainable Farming Association, in partnership with Lake of the Woods and Roseau County SWCDs, is launching a soil health & water quality focused learning exchange. While many similar events are held in central and southern parts of the state, distance can be a barrier to participation for our northern farmers and ranchers. This region has unique opportunities: greater crop diversity, lower land values, and more livestock—all opportunities that create a unique context. This event will be a one-day session that equips farmers and communities with practical tools to improve soil, protect water, and strengthen ecosystems. Join us in making this inaugural gathering a success! Partners include Beltrami SWCD, Cass SWCD, Koochiching SWCD, Lake of the Woods SWCD, Pennington SWCD, Red River Basin Commission, and Roseau County SWCD.
LOCATION: Seven Clans Casino
20595 Center St E, Thief River Falls, MN 56701
