Area beef producers should make plans to attend the annual Three-State Beef Conference that is scheduled for January 14, 15 and 16, 2025 with locations in Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska.

The conference provides a forum of specialists from three of the United States’ leading beef cattle land grant universities as well as other industry experts.
