Markets
Meet the buyers
Organic buyers from across the region say what they need in 2027 — grain, forage, livestock — and how they contract with transitioning farms.

Markets, soil,
and the next crop.
Farmers, buyers, researchers, and extension staff spend two days solving organic production on the High Plains — then take the conversations to the trade show floor.
Why this room
The High Plains organic conference is built by producers, for the people who grow, buy, and certify the crop.
