Event

Focus on Farming XI

Tickets are available at the door, online registration is closed.

Focus on Farming is the only
one-day gathering for all types of
farming in one location; whether
organic or conventional, livestock or
row crops, large or small. Providing
quality education to sustain current
farmers and attracting new farmers
to our region is a critical component
in securing the next generation's
local food supply.

Recognizing that agriculture is constantly
changing, many established farmers come
to hear about recent research and learn new
techniques. Keynote presentation from
Fred Kirschenmann, a world-renowned leader in sustainable agriculture at Iowa State University, Kirschenmann is no stranger to practicing what he preaches. His 2,600-acre farmstead in North Dakota serves as a model for what's possible on a mid-sized organic farm, showcasing the results of diverse crop rotation paired with soil remediation, and all of it done without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
