Three days after an incredible Winter Conference, we want to pause and give heartfelt thanks to an organization that has been foundational to the Virginia No-Till Alliance from the very beginning.
For 17 years, Virginia Cooperative Extension has been the backbone support of VANTAGE — and truly, we would not be here without them.
Virginia Cooperative Extension’s mission is to provide research-based education and outreach that improves the lives, livelihoods, and land stewardship of Virginians. They connect university research to real-world application, equipping farmers, families, and communities with practical knowledge that makes a lasting impact.
They didn’t just support this organization — they helped start it. Their leadership, vision, and steady partnership laid the groundwork for what VANTAGE has become today.
From conference planning and technical expertise to long-term organizational guidance, VCE has faithfully walked alongside us every step of the way.
We are deeply grateful for their commitment to soil health, farmer success, and agricultural resilience across Virginia.
Virginia Cooperative Extension — thank you for 17 years of partnership, leadership, and unwavering support.
