Newsroom

PFI is eager to support members of the media – you are always welcome at our events! We know your schedules are busy and fluid, and we appreciate your interest in our programming.

If you know ahead of time that you plan to attend an event, please let us know so we can do our best to meet your needs and interests (and so we can make a point to say hello!). Email Elizabeth Wilhelm or (515) 232-5661.

Most of our events are free, but if you wish to attend an event with a registration fee, we grant complimentary admission to members of the media who plan to report on the event. Please let Elizabeth know so staff working at the event are aware you'll be coming.

We appreciate your interest in our events and programming.

To ensure there are no unintended disruptions to the flow of PFI events – and to ensure informed consent of the farmers and speakers involved – you must have prior written approval from Practical Farmers of Iowa, and the farmers and speakers participating, to film or record during a PFI event. We want to make sure the experience is positive and productive for everyone involved and obtaining this approval in advance will ensure all parties know what to expect and are working together.

We are happy to talk with you about your project and can help connect you with the people and resources you are seeking, as well as work with you to arrange appropriate times during a PFI event – or outside of it – to gather the interviews, footage, sound clips or other material you need for your project.
