A Decade of Conservation Impact
The first Fox-Wolf Farmer Roundtable launched in 2015, during a turning point for conservation farming in Wisconsin. Farmers were beginning to adopt practices like cover crops and no-till systems at a pace never seen before.

The Roundtables continue to address the challenges farmers face today—offering insights that help producers stay profitable while protecting water and soil health.
