SUMMARY:PFI: Petite Prairies: Small-Scale Blooms\, Big Benefits for Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Catherine Schut owns and operates Hive and Petal\, a boutique flower farm in Prairie City\, Iowa\, focused on specialty blooms and honeybees. Catherine grows unique seasonal flowers\, from winter tulips and spring peonies to dried florals\, using thoughtful\, organically inspired practices that prioritize soil health and pollinators. \n  \nAt this field day\, Catherine will lead a walking tour of her flower farm. She’ll share how even small pockets of restored prairie can support both wild pollinators and her own beehives\, as well as soil health. We’ll also hear about the programs and partnerships Catherine has worked with over the years to establish prairie habitat\, and future plans for those partnerships as she expands her conservation practices. \n  \nRegistration for this field day is required.

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.
