Come Meet the AoU Team at the Wisconsin Farmers Union’s 92nd Convention!

Farmers from throughout Wisconsin will gather in Wisconsin Dells Dec. 9-11 for the 92nd Annual Wisconsin Farmers Union State Convention. As a sponsor of the highly-anticipated event, the All of Us Research UW team will be there to network and educate attendees on the future of medical research.

The Wisconsin Farmers Union membership is made up of people from all walks of agriculture and life. From conventional to organic, rural to urban, our members find community in an organization that empowers them to have a voice in the issues that affect them.

The convention weekend kicks off at noon on Friday, Dec. 9th with a pre-conference Groundswell event, Climate Smart Agriculture in WI: Policy, Practice, and Programs. The afternoon of programming is being planned by WFU’s farmer-led Climate Change Committee. The official convention kicks off the next morning with a presidential address followed by workshops on farm financials, dairy policy, USDA programs, and the 2023 Farm Bill. The weekend will also feature ample networking time, the Torchbearer award ceremony for youth program graduates, and a celebration of rural champions.

The All of Us Research Program wants to gather health information from one million or more people. We want people from all walks of life to take part. That means young and old people, men and women, and people from cities and rural areas. It means sick and healthy people. And it means people of different races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations. We will collect information such as your height, weight, health conditions, and medicines. Researchers may be able to use this information to better understand and improve health for all of us.
