Three days in downtown Fairfield to put living soil, clean water, and working livestock back at the center of Iowa agriculture.
Soil & Water Revival brings farmers, landowners, SWCD staff, consultants, and homesteaders together for practical, on-the-ground regenerative agriculture — soil testing, infiltration, livestock integration, and conservation programs that actually work under Iowa weather and budgets.

Iowa’s soil and water story is written on every field and every tile line. This conference is built for farmers, landowners, SWCD staff, consultants, and homesteaders who want practices that hold up under real weather and real budgets—not slogans. Sessions stay close to the ground: soil testing and nutrient plans, infiltration and nitrate, livestock as a soil tool, and a vendor hall in a building producers already know.
Tentative — sessions subject to change. Homestead track sessions are tentative; theater use pending FACC confirmation. About 18 speakers.
All public sessions (Fri–Sat) and vendor hall access. Lunch on your own — food trucks on site (tentative).
