SUMMARY:PFI: Drainage Water Recycling and Double Cropping
DESCRIPTION:Mark and Melissa Schleisman and their family raise popcorn\, field corn\, soybeans\, rye\, wheat\, oats\, cattle and hogs at M&M Farms in Calhoun County\, Iowa. Soil and water conservation are a priority for the family. They use cover crops on all their fields\, grazing the covers whenever possible. Over the past five years\, they have worked with local organizations to install two wetlands that filter tile drainage\, which can then be used to irrigate fields. \n  \nThe Schleismans are excited to show their newest wetland project\, which will be used to irrigate popcorn in surrounding fields. To further explore soil-building practices that improve water infiltration\, they also double-crop wheat and soybeans. Come see how they are working toward their goal of using conservation practices while making cash flow.

SUMMARY:Layering Land Management: Combining In-Field and Edge-of-Field Practices for Water Quality and Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:Clark Porter is a landowner and farm manager for Porter Family Farms in Iowa’s Grundy and Tama counties\, alongside his mother Audrey and wife Sharon. Though he hires custom operators for fieldwork\, Clark plays an integral role in production and conservation efforts. These have included overseeing the transition to 100% no-till\, adding in cover crops and adopting several conservation practices\, including saturated buffers and enrolling land in the Conservation Reserve Program. \nCome see how Porter Family Farms manages nutrients\, soil health\, nitrate runoff\, no-till and cover crops. Attendees will learn about an experimental “saturated waterway” currently monitored by researchers at ISU and the University of Iowa. Farm landowners are encouraged to attend to explore how they can actively manage conservation on their land.
