Producer Perspectives on Land and Resource Utilization
Each year, agricultural producers consider how to make the most of their land and other resources in order to optimize farm yields, profits, and sustainability. Many factors influence how farmers determine their crop mix, whether to plant cover or perennial crops, and what the most productive uses are for manure and agricultural residues, which can be used either as fertilizer or as raw materials for new bio-based energy and other products.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels - Forward in Energy Forum
As global efforts accelerate to reduce transportation’s environmental impact, aviation remains one of the more challenging sectors to decarbonize due to its growth and its reliance on high-energy-density liquid fuels. Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from bio-based sources offers a promising near-term solution to this challenge while enhancing energy security and rural economic development.
2026 Wisconsin State KidWind Challenge: Saturday, March 7
The KidWind Challenge is a hands-on renewable energy competition that engages students in STEM. Student teams bring small-scale wind turbines or solar devices that they've designed to the Challenge where they will be tested for power output. Teams also meet with a panel of expert judges to present their design process and demonstrate their contextual knowledge and tackle instant challenge activities.
