(Shelby County, IA) – The Rosmann family of Harlan will host a Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) field day on Saturday, August 22nd, from 2-until 5-p.mm.. 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.
Rosmann Family Farms is a 700-acre certified organic farm that supports three generations of the Rosmann family with a mixture of corn, soybeans, popcorn, small grains, forages and pasture as well as cattle, hogs and chickens. Across decades, the Rosmanns have established a patchwork of 47 different fields throughout their whole farm. They are strong proponents of contour farming, ridge-till and producing compost to fertilize their fields.
The Rosmanns care deeply about continuing their legacy of stewardship, advocating for practices and policies that support healthy farms and landscapes. Ron Rosmann will share a few words about his new book “A Practical Farmer’s Journey: A History of Community, Stewardship and Resilience” before the family leads a tour of the farm and practices that inspired the publication.
