Practical Farmers of Iowa - Webinars

Current list of available webinars - from technical production issues to business planning.
http://www.practicalfarmers.org/farminar/


Founded in 1985, Practical Farmers of Iowa includes a diverse group of 1,500 farmers and friends of farmers.  Corn, soybeans, beef cattle and hay are the top enterprises for PFI farmers, although many have other operations, including fruits and vegetables. Our nonfarmer members believe that farmers can provide multiple benefits to society, including food and fiber, but also clean air and water and biodiversity on the land.
Our mission is to advance profitable, ecologically sound, and community-enhancing approaches to agriculture through farmer-led investigation and information sharing. Click here for our vision.
PFI specializes in farmer-to-farmer networking through our Cooperators’ Program, Field Days, Annual Conference, Grazing Clusters, Farminars, and more. Farmer members are the catalyst for the directions taken in our Program Areas (Field Crops, Horticulture, Grazing, Niche Pork, Next Generation, Poultry, and Policy).
