OGRAIN provides resources, research, events & community for organic grain production in Wisconsin
- We provide learning opportunities to improve your organic row crop and small grain operation.
- We conduct research on organic grain production practices in Wisconsin.
- We connect farmers, researchers and industry experts across the state to share their knowledge and expertise about organic grain production.
Whether you farm 10 acres or 10,000; whether you are an experienced organic grower or just considering the transition to organic; the OGRAIN community of experienced growers, researchers, industry experts and others is here to support you.
The networking facilitated by OGRAIN events such as the annual conference and field days, and the OGRAIN listserve are invaluable.

Because of the support provided by OGRAIN conferences, list-serve and online resources we had the confidence to begin growing a wider variety of grains and to make improvements in our storage and cleaning facility… the learning curve is shortened because of… OGRAIN.
