Organic Management Strategies for Flourishing Fields and Nutritious Crops

This free Practical Farmers of Iowa field day visits Daniel & Emily Sheetz and family at Barred Owl Organics in Garwin, Iowa. Their main focus is on growing food-grade crops and planting prairie strips to support pollinators. Join them to see clear hilum, a type of high-protein, food-grade soybean. You’ll also see a diverse cover crop mix, along with Daniel and Emily’s favorite weeding equipment. Finally, they’ll offer tips for transitioning to organic and share their plans to support pollinators using prairie strips with help from Natural Resources Conservation Service programs.
