About the event
2026 Fall Working Lands Workshop - "Under Your Boots: Building Better Soil"
If you want your ground to stay productive when the rain doesn’t come, this workshop is for you. Learn how to build soil that captures and holds moisture, grows more grass, and supports higher stocking rates without increasing inputs. We will cover practical ways to improve nutrient cycling, reduce salinity, and manage disease and pest pressure while improving animal health. This is about producing more with what you already have, lowering feed costs, and building a more resilient and profitable operation.
Dates: Thursday and Friday, September 24-25, 2026
Times: 8 am to 4 pm both days
Accommodations: Chain hotels can be found in Sheridan, WY (20 miles from Dayton)
