Past Events

HPJ’s ‘U-Events’ launched nearly 20 years ago! New for 2025, we will pause individual events to focus on HPJ Live, a comprehensive event serving the broader High Plains Journal community.

Alfalfa U is a farmer-focused event that provides resources to make informed production decisions on your operation.

Cattle U is a one-day event full of educational opportunities for high plains cattlemen and women. Participate in educational sessions and networking opportunities with industry leaders to gain practical and valuable information.

Cotton U is a half-day educational event featuring sessions on cotton growing considerations and soil health practices in Plains cotton.

Soil Health U is a two-day event that reflects land as a resource that, when treated with care, can continue to provide for farmers and ranchers even when times are tough. With Soil Health U, attendees will learn how to unleash the power of healthy soil.
