2026 Conservation Tillage & Technology Conference

For over three decades, the Conservation Tillage & Technology Conference (CTTC) has brought together farmers, researchers, and ag industry professionals to share practical, science-based strategies that strengthen Ohio agriculture. Hosted annually at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio, CTTC is a two-day event designed to help farmers improve soil health, increase profitability, and adopt conservation practices that sustain productivity for generations to come. The conference will feature four concurrent sessions and nearly 70 speakers from across the U.S. and Canada. This annual event is an excellent opportunity to network with farmers, industry professionals, and researchers who are invested in the future of agriculture. There will also be a variety of CCA (Certified Crop Adviser) and CLM (Certified Livestock Manager) continuing education credits offered. Educational sessions are led by university experts, experienced farmers, and industry leaders, covering topics from nutrient management and precision ag to regenerative practices and water quality across eight concurrent tracks. The conference is made possible through the collaboration of Ohio State University Extension, the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and numerous Soil and Water Conservation Districts across Northwest Ohio.
