Despite heavy snow across the region, over 3-thousand, 300 people attended the 2013 MOSES Organic Farming Conference last week in La Crosse.
MOSES gave out 321 scholarships to help students, beginning farmers and others attend the conference. That number includes at least a dozen who registered as part of the Farmer-Veteran Coalition.
A highlight of the conference was when Charlie Johnson of Madison, S.D., was honored as the 2013 MOSES Organic Farmer of the Year. The Johnson family farm has organic roots dating back to his father's involvement in the 1970s.
Next year's MOSES Conference - the 25th anniversary - will take place February 27th through March 1st at the La Crosse Center.
The MOSES Conference is the nation's largest conference on organic and sustainable farming.
