SUMMARY:PFI: Cutting Nitrogen\, Grazing Cattle\, and Cultivating Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Ben and Hannah Offenburger of Open Gate Acres farm in southern Iowa\, raising corn\, beans\, alfalfa and cattle. They are part of PFI’s nitrogen rate trial and are using that data to lower their nitrogen inputs where they can. They practice intensive rotational grazing on 40 acres of pasture\, where they have used the Environmental Quality Incentives Program to add water and fencing. Ben plants short-season soybeans so he can plant a rye cover crop early for grazing. Always trying new things\, the Offenburgers have started a cut-flower enterprise this year. \n  \nCome to this diverse field day to hear what the Offenburgers have learned from this new endeavor. We’ll also hear how they use data from the nitrogen rate trial to reduce their inputs and see how they practice intensive rotational grazing with their cattle.
