WIU Agriculture
*************
Field day at Jack Erisman's farm in Pana, Illinois - 1:00pm-4:00pm Friday, September 9th
Producing high quality and high value corn, beans, small grains and forages takes planning, equipment and careful attention to fertility, crop rotation, pest and weed control.
Jack Erisman has been farming organically since 1990, and has developed a rotation that includes high value specialty food grade corn, as well as cover crops. His long rotation and numerous fields (he farms over 2000 acres) has the flexibility to deal with weather issues and market demand. Jack continues to experiment, and is happy to share information with experienced organic farmers as well as help those wanting to start the transition to organic. Field tours and review of equipment, seed varieties and more will discussed. Join us for a day of learning from an experienced and successful organic farmer.
Pre-registration (through the following link) is requested.
