This year’s conference will feature more than 40 educational breakout presentations and Don Day Jr., Jason Mack, and Jim Gerrish as keynote speakers.

The conference also showcases approximately 50 local and regional sponsors in an ag-specific trade show and outdoor equipment display during the event.
“The diversity we have in the trade show this year is exciting,” said CCTA Coordinator Joni Mitchek. “It will be a great place to connect with local ag businesses as well as nonprofits and research opportunities.”
