WAYNE, Nebraska — Registration is now open for the 2026 North American Manure Expo, taking place July 28–30 in Wayne, NE.

Attendees get to choose one of five multi-stop tours, each highlighting the innovation, research and practical approaches shaping agriculture and nutrient management across Nebraska. With limited seating available on every tour bus, attendees are encouraged to register early to secure their spot.

Tour participants will visit farms, research sites and agricultural businesses that show how manure management can support productive, responsible and efficient operations. The lineup

The program also includes a family fun experience designed for visitors of all ages, highlighting agriculture, wildlife and Nebraska history.

“The various tours on July 28 offer participants the opportunity to see first-hand how livestock operations in Nebraska are using innovative solutions to address nutrient management challenges,” said Leslie Johnson, Animal Manure Management Extension Educator with Nebraska Extension. “Participants can choose from tours featuring a farm-to-fork beef and swine operation, pivot distribution of manure, poultry processing, a deep-pit beef barn, a regenerative farm, composting facilities, a robotic dairy and Nebraska history.
