SUMMARY:PFI: Expanding Cover Crop Impact: Seed Production and Reduced Inputs
DESCRIPTION:Chad and Wendy Petersen raise corn\, soybeans and cattle near Bennett\, Iowa. They practice minimum tillage and use cover crops on their own farm\, and they appreciate seeing more farmers integrating soil health practices. Chad and Wendy are passionate about expanding cover crops on the landscape: In addition to using cover crops on their own farm\, they also run a cover crop seeding business\, Venture Ag. \n  \nRecently\, the Petersens began looking at their fertilizer use. This focus has enabled them to reduce their applied phosphorus and nitrogen by 25%. Chad is eager to share how these strategies are helping the couple achieve their stewardship goals while maintaining yields and economic resilience. At this field day\, we’ll also see a field of rye going to seed for the farm’s cover crop use come fall.

SUMMARY:PFI: Conservation in Action on a Multigenerational Family Farm
DESCRIPTION:Ken Fawcett has been part of Fawcett Family Farms for decades. The operation\, in Cedar County\, Iowa\, is now run by Ken’s son\, Thomas\, and nephew\, Kent Stuart. But though retired\, Ken is still passionate about the legacy and stewardship of the family ground. Over the last 50 years\, Ken and his family have adopted a range of conservation practices\, such as no-till\, riparian buffers\, prairie restoration and cover crops. \n  \nEncouraged by soil health benefits and decreased soil erosion\, they strive to improve their land and stay profitable while preserving the environment for generations to come. Join Ken and his family at this field day to see their conservation efforts in action. They’ll share how they implement and manage practices\, and how they strive to work with the Iowa landscape to maintain a successful operation.
