THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO AUGUST 25 & 26

The Nevada Small Agriculture Conference is being coordinated by Nevada Farm Bureau members with the assistance of the University of Nevada, Reno Extension and Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (WSARE). This year’s conference will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada. There will be small acreage producers, agencies and non-profits coming together to discuss agriculture.

Nevada Farm Bureau members build a better future for Nevada. Together we protect, promote and advocate for agriculture, while educating future generations on the importance of agriculture.

Your membership allows us to advocate for agriculture, and supports “Ag in the Classroom” in Nevada schools and educational events, like this conference.

Nevada Farm Bureau Members, will receive a $25 discount on registration for this conference, and they’ll also have access to the many other discounts and promotions available online and throughout the state. Become a member today at nvfb.org to use your current Nevada Farm Bureau membership to receive the $25 discount.

Early registration is $80 (or $55 for Nevada Farm Bureau members). Late registration at the event will be limited, and prices will go up.
