This year, PFI’s annual conference is coming home. Registration is now open!
Field day attendees are surrounded by a lush stand of blooming oxeye sunflowers, also known as false sunflower, as they stand in one of Paul Mugge’s prairie strips on July 17 listening to Lydia English, of the prairie strips project at Iowa State University, discuss how Paul is using prairie strips on his farm near Sutherland.
For three days of the deep winter, be safe and easy in your home while we gather on PFI’s virtual conference platform to engage with old friends and new, invited speakers and exhibitors. We will bring familiar elements you expect of the conference – like practical, farmer-led sessions, roundtables and moderated panels on the issues that matter to you and your farms. We’ll also have some new offerings, including youth sessions, lightning talks, farmer-to-farmer conversations, a night of storytelling and PFI’s first feature-length film, “Livestock on the Land.”
