Don't Miss SARE's 20th!

Mark your calendar for March 25-27, 2008, when SARE celebrates its 20th anniversary with a national conference and networking event in Kansas City, Missouri.

Please plan to join SARE and its many partners in March 2008 at its next national conference to learn the latest about how we are forging an agriculture that is profitable, environmentally sound, and good for people and communities.

* Celebrate successes experienced by SARE and its partners in the sustainable agriculture community
* Foster a productive dialog between producers, agricultural educators, and agency representatives
* Distill, clarify, and communicate SARE's guiding values and vision

2008 marks SARE's 20th year of advancing a more sustainable agriculture through a nationwide competitive grants program.  SARE stays in touch with the needs of farmers and ranchers through its strong regional programs in the North Central, Northeast, Southern and Western regions.  The conference will be the 6th in SARE's biennial series.
