Description

Ninety-four years ago, our founders knew family farms were worth fighting for. They gathered in solidarity to set policy that would improve life on their family farms and in their communities. We'll continue that legacy as we celebrate Wisconsin Farmers Union's 94th convention.

Groundswell

Join us for an insightful workshop focusing on the multifaceted issue of ethanol. This event aims to foster an open and respectful dialogue among members, recognizing the diverse perspectives within our community. We will feature expert presentations that provide insight into ethanol as a renewable fuel source as well as its environmental impacts. Through facilitated discussions, attendees will have the opportunity to voice their experiences, listen to others, and engage in constructive conversations. Our goal is to create a space where all members feel heard, respected, and more informed about this critical topic.

There will also be a webinar that will cover this topic that will take place in November. All participants of Groundswell will be asked to attend this webinar or watch the recording before Friday, December 13th. 

Registration will open at 9:30 am with brunch starting at 10 am. Programming will take place from 11am - 5pm.
