SUMMARY:PFI: Oxbows to Improve Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, Selden Spencer purchased farmland along White Fox Creek in Hamilton County\, Iowa. The 100-acre property\, previously owned by Ray Fry\, is a mixture of cropland\, woodland\, ravines and riparian corridors. Ray still manages the property today. Before he sold the land\, Ray worked diligently alongside The Nature Conservancy to restore an oxbow along the creek. These U-shaped former stream bends remain one of the most effective ways to improve water quality on agricultural land. \n  \nSelden and Ray recognize the importance of oxbows and work together to maintain it. They also have plans for future conservation projects. At this field day\, be prepared to walk on uneven ground as Selden shares how oxbows help Iowa’s water quality and habitat. Bring a lawn chair for opening introductions as seating will be limited.

SUMMARY:PFI: Boosting a Farm’s Resiliency Through Cover Crops and Crop Rotations
DESCRIPTION:Ross McCaw began planting cover crops in 2019 to try to reduce his nitrogen inputs. He’s taking part in a nitrogen reduction trial through PFI’s on-farm research program to document the results. In 2023\, Ross started planting a three-crop rotation to raise more rye for seed and get all of the benefits of cover crops. He added plant growth regulators to achieve a healthier rye stand for harvesting. After the rye comes out\, he drills in a diverse cover crop mix. Ross is partnering with his landlord to graze his 25 cattle in the fall and has added a grazing mix to the rotation in one of his fields. \n  \nAt this field day\, you’ll see the diverse cover crop mix growing after the rye has been harvested\, and before the cattle graze it. We’ll also see a field planted in cover crops going into corn the following year.
