Trends in Midwestern agriculture, ergonomic interventions in California agriculture and USDA regulations. These are just a few of the topics that will be focused on at the 2007 Ag Conference to be held Nov. 14-16 in Omaha.
The conference will feature public and occupational health issues of three leading edge movements in U.S. agriculture — biofuels, food safety and alternative agriculture.
The conference will be held at the Embassy Suites-Downtown and will begin on Nov. 14 with a networking dinner, followed by a full day of seminars on Nov. 15 and tours of a cattle company and a biofuels operation in Mead, Neb., and the Soaring Wings Vineyard in Springfield, Neb.
Pre-registration is requested. The deadline to register is Nov. 5.
