About
Practical Farmers of Iowa works with 80 farmers to conduct over 100 on-farm research and demonstration projects on conventional and organic row crop operations, horticulture farms, and grazing systems. These research projects help farmers directly answer the questions that they have about their farms, and they offer opportunity to learn from others' experiences. Practical Farmers of Iowa also hosts approximately 80 field days, workshops, webinars, and other outreach events every year, with upwards of 4,000 people attending these events. Foster farmer to farmer networking and information between our research, events, and outreach, farmers in Iowa and across the Midwest are making changes in their operations to increase their profitability, efficiency, and stewardship.
