January 7 - Farmer Group Discussion in Adel
I am working with J. Arbuckle to host a farmer group discussion in Adel on January 7. He is interested in visiting with central Iowa farmers who have thought about implementing practices like cover crops or no-till on their farms but have not yet done it for any reason. See the details for the meeting below and please reach out to me via email (mjanders@iastate.edu) or phone (319-331-0058) if you are interested in participating! Thank you!
January 7 - Brickyard Burgers & Brews
1802 Greene St., Adel, IA
9:30 a.m. - noon, with a free lunch to follow
As a token of thanks for helping with this study, the research team from ISU will provide you with $49.99 for your participation.
