Organic Kernza, Sunflowers and Oats: Seeking Financial and Agron

Jul 21, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT
Cambridge, Iowa | Practical Farmers of Iowa | Free
Central Iowa farmers Caleb Akin and Noah Wendt began farming together through their partnership, A & W Farms, in 2006. As markets have become available, Noah and Caleb have been able to grow crops beyond corn and soybeans, such as oats, sunflowers and Kernza. Come to their field day to see their Kernza, a perennial grain crop, in its second season of growth. You’ll also see sunflowers growing for oil production and food-grade oats nearing or at harvest stage.
