This three-day conference, aimed at beginning and seasoned growers, will showcase educational information from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota.

“Workshops this year will include topics such as high tunnels, soils and irrigation, tree fruits, advanced beekeeping, farm-to-school marketing, and growing berries,” said Tim Baker, horticulturist for University of Missouri Extension and a member of the Great Plains Growers Conference organizing committee.
