Small Farm Tech Expo Calling for Presentations

The Small Farm Tech Expo is accepting proposals for presentations, workshops, demonstrations, and interactive sessions that spotlight farm-tested tools, appropriate technology, low-tech solutions, and innovative approaches that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and respect the scale and values of small farms. The event will take place December 2, 2025, at University of California, Merced. Organizers are inviting proposals from farmers and ranchers, technologists, educators, community organizations, and anyone who has a practical, working solution to share. The Expo ​will provide monetary stipends to farmers and ranchers who are selected as speakers to compensate them for their time and knowledge. A list of suggested topics is available online, and proposals are due by October 19, 2025.
