On-Farm: Conversations with Practical Farmers

About On-Farm: Conversations with Practical Farmers

Each week, we'll interview a different member of Practical Farmers of Iowa about their farm. We'll hear practical information from all types of farmers: new and experienced; young and old; small and large; horticulture, livestock and row-crop farmers. We'll talk with farmers about the issues most relevant to the farming community: the nitty gritty of growing and raising all sorts of plants and animals; on-farm research; protecting and improving soil and water quality; farm profitability; the challenges facing beginning farmers; building community in rural areas; and of course, food.
