Information

Make plans now to attend the 2014 Wisconsin Aquaculture Conference!  This is an excellent time for farmers - both seasoned & new -, researchers, agency personnel, students and others involved and interested in aquaculture to get together.  There will be plenty of time to network, socialize, get one-on-one discussions, talk to vendors, etc to gain and share knowledge to help your business and the industry grow.  We will have an area for WAA members to set out out their farm brochures.

Conference talks include:

AquaTourism

Farmer Education and Training Opportunity

Walleye Initiative

Federal Aquaculture Checkoff

UW School of Freshwater Science

Walleye Research & Grant

Feeds

Mobile Processing Unit program in Kentucky

Practical Farm Innovations

3 talks on Aquaponics

Freshwater Algae for Aquaculture

Retail Product Showcase & Cooking Demo

Our Retail Product Showcase is for you, the producer, to bring in samples of your retail products & packaging to show off.  These products will then be used in our Taste Of Wisconsin Aquaculture Cooking Demo.  And even if you don't have anything to display, if any of you have 2-3lbs of fresh fish, smoked fish, dips, spreads, etc you would be willing to donate to the cooking demo, we would greatly appreciate it.  For those of you who haven't experienced our Taste of Wisconsin Aquaculture Cooking Demo, it is much more than that.  Dani Klontz is a true friend of Wisconsin Aquaculture - she has been flying in from Idaho for our conferences just to cook up many delicious and interesting dishes for us to sample and eat our fill of.  When you get a chance, please let her know how much she is appreciated.  This is a relaxing, enjoyable time socializing and eating throughout the evening.

Silent Auction

The money brought in by our Silent Auction goes towards the FFA Supervised Agriculture Experience Aquaculture Grant, the Wisconsin Schools poster contest and conference expenses.  WAA seeks to encourage students to become involved in and aware of aquaculture through the SAE and Poster Contest.  Please consider a donation to support of these programs.

Post Conference Farm Tours

There will be farm tours of Northside Enterprises and Branch River Trout Hatchery.  More information and directions will be posted in the Conference program

Thursday Workshop

On Thursday there will be a workshop on DNR Genetic Policies and Water Regulations & Zoning.  There is no fee to attend, but let us know if you will be attending.
