Approximately 30 percent of Practical Farmers of Iowa’s beginning farmers want to have a poultry operation as a part of their farm business. Poultry operations are a great source of extra income for any farm business because of short turnaround time, and a fairly low capital investment requirement.
PFI is continually increasing the poultry programming, which started in 2009. The first research project was a comparison of broiler breeds raised on pasture. In 2010, Practical Farmers of Iowa is pursuing a nutritional composition trial to assist farmers with marketing pastured poultry.
The poultry group looks forward to hearing your ideas. If you would like to participate in a poultry trial, host a field day, or if you have ideas about other projects or priorities contact Suzi or call 515-232-5661.
