Join Practical Farmers of Iowa for this free field day with hosts Carmen and Maja Black. They’ll share current on-farm research they’re doing with PFI’s Cooperators’ Program, including a project to help them better understand how different manures, cover crops and grazing are affecting plant-available nitrogen in the soil. They will also discuss long-term and immediate strategies for improving soil health through reducing tillage, cover crops and grazing.
