PFI

Saturday, Aug. 29 | 5 – 5:30 p.m.

Nathan and Sarah farm using in-field conservation practices that reduce soil loss, increase soil health, reduce inputs and provide forage for livestock. They also target edge-of-field conservation on marginal lands to provide water quality and wildlife benefits while improving return on investment on farmed acres. We’ll chat with Nathan twice over the course of the season to learn about conservation he’s using on his farm to increase profitability.

In part 2, Nathan will discuss edge-of-field conservation and how his family has created wildlife habitat on the farm while increasing overall farm profitability.
