The Acres U.S.A. Conference is perhaps the premier event nationwide for commercial-scale sustainable and organic agriculture. More than a thousand eco-minded individuals from around the world gather together to tap the knowledge of some of agriculture's brightest minds. It is where the experts gather.

We bring in dozens of speakers to cover all facets of eco-agriculture - soils, crops, weed and insect control, livestock management - and make the connection between the soil and human and animal health as well. These are the leading authors, the master consultants, successful farmers, the people who are on the cutting edge of progress in harmony with nature.

Together, they represent hundreds of years of experience. They have lived through the very challenges you might be facing. Come tap their minds, tap their knowledge bank.

About 100 eco-suppliers display the latest agricultural technology that yields results without offending nature. These savvy suppliers themselves meet and speak to many, many farmers like yourself throughout the year. They also are an abundant source of knowledge and experience.

But attendees frequently tell us that the real meeting seems to be a meeting of the minds. Countless mini-conferences break out in the hallways and lobbies as you meet other people of like mind. If you feel alone in your area as one who really cares about the conditioning of the soil you leave behind for your grandchildren, you'll feel right at home at the Acres U.S.A. Conference - and probably come home with a few new friends as well.

The conference lasts three full days. Plan to stay for the full meeting - only then will you be best equipped to overhaul your own farm plan.

If you make the journey, you can be assured you will more than profit from your investment of time and effort. You'll pick up knowledge from these master consultants that they normally charge hundreds of dollars for. You'll be able to farm more effectively, with lower inputs and greater profits. It's the biggest bargain in biological agriculture.

Most conference attendees attend year after year after year. This year's conference promises to be even bigger and more information-packed than ever. Come and see for yourself what all the fuss is about.

Meet you in Columbus!
