SDSU Extension Invites Growers to Sioux Falls Organic Conference

South Dakota State University Extension and the Southeast Research Farm at SDSU invite farmers to attend the Sioux Falls Organic Conference on March 12, 2026.

Pete Sexton, associate Professor, SDSU Extension Sustainable Cropping Systems Specialist and Southeast Research Farm Supervisor, said the conference is a great way for farmers in the area to learn different ways of controlling weeds while reducing tillage.

“It’s an opportunity for people to network, to learn about research being done in other areas where people are reducing tillage,” Sexton said.

The conference is from 8:45 a.m. to 3:40 p.m. CST at the Best Western Plus Ramkota Hotel. Registration is $25 per person and is available by visiting the SDSU Extension Events page and searching “organic”.
