This OREI award supported the Third Annual Organic Grain Conference held in February 2019 in Champaign, IL, which drew 200 participants and 22 trade show vendors. The Land Connection (TLC) foundation convened an advisory committee and conducted a survey of past conference attendees to expand and improve the conference, facilitate networking, identify priority topics and speakers, and include newly emerging research on organic grain production. The event included a pre-conference training workshop on the organic certification process, a keynote by Francis Thicke, breakout tracks on production, marketing/business, and organic research, and networking opportunities in roundtable discussions and at the trade show, which conference participants found especially valuable.
