Bob and Sara Pearson of Wesley will be hosting a Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) field day. The event is free to attend and open to the public. More information about the field day is below and full details can be found on the event’s webpage.
Overcoming Challenges and Finding Opportunities for Growth on an Organic Farm
Bob and Sara Pearson grow organic corn, soybeans and oats on their farm in Kossuth County, Iowa. Sara started off with an organic vegetable farm in 2008 but gradually switched her focus to row crops as family rental acres became available. By 2015, Bob and Sara decided to fully focus their energy on transitioning their acres to organic row crops, choosing organic for its financial and environmental benefits.
Now operating on 420 acres, Sara and Bob have learned a great deal through years of organic transition and challenging weather years. Through it all, their crops show resilience in the face of poor weather conditions and bad pest and weed years. Come see how they are working with nature to build soil, retain water, support beneficial insects and improve nutrient cycling.
