Farmers and farm businesses in southeastern Iowa are invited to join Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Southeast Iowa Agricultural Research Association for the fall field day at Iowa State’s Southeast Research and Demonstration Farm on September 10th. 

The fall field day will provide farmers, landowners and ag retailers the opportunity to learn more about projects being conducted at the farm to address current issues or challenges Iowa farmers are facing. Other discussion topics will include cropping systems, nitrate loss, cover crops and a potential alternative biomass crop. ISU Field Agronomist Rebecca Vittetoe shares who should attend, “Farmers, landowners, just the general public interested in learning a little bit more. It is open to all. There is no cost to attend, you just show up. There is no pre-registration necessary.”  

Check-in begins at 1 p.m. and the field day is planned to start at 1:30 p.m., with the research farm update. The field day is free and open to the public. The Southeast Research and Demonstration Farm is located at 3115 Louisa-Washington Road, near Crawfordsville.
