Field Day: Organic Management Strategies

Sep 09, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM CT
Garwin, IA | Daniel & Emily Sheetz and Family, Barred Owl Organics | $
Daniel and Emily Sheetz farm with their four kids and Emily’s parents, Alan and JoAnn Kouba, on 800 acres in Tama County, Iowa. They have been certified organic on a growing number of acres since 2010, and grow corn, soybeans, small grains and hay. Each year, the family experiments with adding cover crops and changing rotations. Aiming to support healthy people and animals, their main focus is on growing food-grade crops and planting prairie strips to support pollinators.
