(Walnut, Iowa) – Grant & Aubrey Stuart of Walnut will host a Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) field day on June 18th. The event is free to attend and open to the public.  The Stuarts farm over 1,400 acres outside of Walnut, Iowa. They plant cover crops on all their acres and like what it does for their soil health. Grant manages his time and equipment to use soil health practices, like cover crops and no-till. He has also been able to reduce his nitrogen inputs with the help of Dan Hansen, a local Pivot Bio dealer who builds Grant’s fertility recommendations. Mike Pellett, a technology and agronomic consultant, helps Grant fully use his technology and equipment investment to achieve his goals.

Persons attending the field day will learn how Grant and Aubrey Stuart have managed to cut back fertilizer inputs without experiencing a yield drag. They’ll also discuss how they manage their time and data to get cover crops planted in all their farm fields. Details are posted below:
