The 2027 Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society Annual Conference is happening January 29–30, 2027 at the Younes Conference Center in Kearney. This annual gathering brings together farmers, ranchers, food system leaders, educators, and advocates from across Nebraska to learn, connect, and celebrate sustainable agriculture.

​

This year’s conference will feature two full days of engaging workshops, producer-led discussions, and community-building opportunities. Attendees consistently tell us how valuable it is to learn from peers and leaders across the sustainable agriculture and local food system landscape.

​

We are also pleased to announce that our keynote speaker will be Keith Berns from Green Cover Farms. Keith is a respected leader in sustainable agriculture known for his innovative cover cropping techniques and commitment to soil health. His work has helped farmers across the Midwest improve productivity while enhancing environmental stewardship.​

​

Topics will span the diversity of Nebraska agriculture, including:

• Soil health

• Marketing

• Business & financial management

• Specialty and row‑crop production

• Livestock Production

• And more producer-driven content​

Registration is OPEN!

 

We look forward to welcoming you to Kearney for another year of learning, collaboration, and community.
