Another season of farmer-to-farmer learning is here! Nearly 60 farms across Iowa, as well as Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin, are opening their farm gates to share knowledge about small grains, orcharding, grazing, agritourism, weed control and more.
Over the past decade, Eric has transformed his farming operation in western Iowa, with a focus on improving water quality, weed management and overall efficiency. Eric has also launched two businesses and is eager to show how he has optimized efficiency on his farm. Join us to discuss and see firsthand Eric’s pursuit of sustainability on his organic farm operation.
