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.

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.

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:PFI: Targeted Grazing
DESCRIPTION:Prairies evolved with periodic disturbance from drought\, fire and grazing. Without these pulsed “setbacks\,” woody encroachment or grass threatens to diminish the robust diversity that’s the hallmark of the tallgrass prairie. Over the last few years\, Stennie Nelson has been working with Doug Chafa\, land manager and biologist with the Iowa DNR\, as part Doug’s effort to reintroduce grazing into local wildlife management areas. Stennie raises sheep for meat and wool and grazes the Turin Preserve Wildlife Area. \n  \nJoin Stennie\, Doug and the sheep for a prairie-pasture walk to discuss how managed grazing aims to meet both wildlife and prairie goals alongside wool and meat production. Bring your walking shoes! This field day will involve hiking up and down rough terrain.

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.
