Adam pastorea sus cabras en múltiples secciones de tierra en el condado de Tama y más allá. Muchas de estas granjas se consideran altamente erosionables. Como resultado, lo que no es adecuado para los cultivos en hilera se destina a pastos, heno y programas de conservación. Estas granjas consisten en diversos paisajes, que incluyen praderas, sabanas de robles, pastizales de estaciones frías y cálidas, humedales, bosques boscosos montañosos y bosques ribereños a lo largo de los afluentes del río Iowa. Hace diez años, esta tierra consistía en un 50% de cultivos en hileras y casi un 50% de acres en barbecho. Ahora, estas granjas se están utilizando en todo su potencial para apoyar la ganadería, la vida silvestre y la conservación.

Adam grazes his goats on multiple sections of land across Tama County and beyond. Many of these farms are considered highly erodible. As a result, what is not suitable for row crops is put into pasture, hay and conservation programs. These farms consist of diverse landscapes, including prairie, oak savannas, cool- and warm-season grasslands, wetlands, hilly woodland forests and riparian forests along tributaries of the Iowa River. Ten years ago, this land consisted of 50% row crops and nearly 50% fallow acres. Now, these farms are being used to their fuller potential to support livestock, wildlife and conservation.
Meal
A meal will follow the field day. To reduce waste, please bring your own reusable table service.

Special Instructions for Visiting Farms With Livestock
We ask that all attendees at field days where livestock are present observe the following biosecurity practices. While biosecurity is important on all farms, clean shoes and clothes are particularly important due to the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
When visiting farms with livestock, we ask that attendees:
Wear clean shoes or boots that have not been worn on other farms with livestock or livestock buildings, or around a dense population of wild birds. If shoes or boots were worn around livestock or birds, they must be cleaned and disinfected.
Wear clean clothes that have not been worn around other livestock.
Upon request of the farmer host or PFI staff during the field day, you may be asked to disinfect shoes or boots in a phenol or similar solution or wear disposable plastic boot covers over your shoes (provided by PFI).
