SUMMARY:PFI Field Day-Conservation Practices in an Organic Farming System at Prairie Sky Farm
DESCRIPTION:Prairie Sky Farm, operated by Bob and Sara Pearson, has been in Sara’s family since 1889. The Pearsons raise soybeans, corn, oats, buckwheat, rye, vetch, alfalfa and grass hay on 240 acres. They also steward soybean and small-grain seed production fields, and conduct on-farm organic soybean and corn yield trials for Albert Lea Seed House.\nSince 2014, the Pearsons have worked together developing a certified organic farm that prioritizes soil conservation and soil health using a diverse crop rotation, cover crops and reduced fall tillage. At the field day, Sara and Bob will discuss their organic field crop rotation; show some of the equipment they use in their organic operation; and highlight conservation practices they use, including field borders, prairie plantings and grassed waterways.\nDon’t miss this chance to learn more about organic production from a diversified Iowa farm family.\nSee & Discuss:\n\nOrganic crop rotation\nOrganic corn and organic soybeans\nBenefits of cover crops\nOrganic small-grain production\nConservation practices\nOat harvest and small-grain harvest equipment\nRow crop cultivation equipment\nResearch plots\n\nLocation Notes: Make sure “Ave.” is input into GPS to arrive at the correct location (about 5 miles northwest of Wesley, Iowa).\nMeal Information: Dinner will be served at the field day.\n \nRSVP here: https://practicalfarmers.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/practicalfarmers/eventRegistration.jsp?event=905&_gl=1*1ehc03m*_ga*NTE1Mjk0MjY4LjE2MTY2OTcxMzU.*_ga_167M4YEKS3*MTY1Mjg5ODY5Mi45LjEuMTY1Mjg5ODg4MC4w\n
