SUMMARY:PFI: Habitat Restoration & Nature Inspired Grazing
DESCRIPTION:Mike DeCook and his sons\, Joshua and Wyatt DeCook\, operate DeCook Ranch in Monroe County\, Iowa. Over the last 30 years\, they have managed 800 acres of pasture\, custom-grazing 600 head of cattle. One of their goals has been to create a welcoming habitat for grassland birds. They use fire to mimic grazing and have restored prairie\, oak savanna\, woodlands and wetlands. Much of that land is protected through a permanent easement with Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. \n  \nToday\, Mike and his family have protected over 2\,700 acres across three counties\, and their land is home to birds such as sandpipers\, turkeys\, trumpeter swans and songbirds. Join Mike and partners from Audubon Society as they share practical ways to improve habitat for native and migratory grassland birds.

SUMMARY:Roles of Rye in Seed Production and Manure Management
DESCRIPTION:Mike Paustian and his family operate a farrow-to-finish hog farm near Walcott\, Iowa. They also grow 1\,400 acres of row crops\, including corn and soybeans\, using 100% no-till and cover crops. Cover crops are drilled in immediately after harvest. This practice allows for good growth prior to applying fall hog manure. Mike plants cash crops green in the spring for maximum biomass production. Recently\, he started relay intercropping rye and soybeans and harvesting the rye for cover crop seed. This led him to take part in PFI’s Cover Crop Business Accelerator Program to explore growing rye for seed on more acres. \nAt this field day\, Mike and his family will share their experiences with relay intercropping. They’ll discuss the results of applying manure into standing cover crops. You’ll also hear how they use skip rows in rye ahead of corn.
