Iowa Learning Farm Field Day

On July 29th, forty-two people from around the state gathered near Plainfield to learn from research conducted by the Iowa Learning Farms at a field day hosted by CDI president and ILF cooperator, Rick Juchems. They witnessed first hand simulations of conservation practices with the Rainfall Simulator. Water and sediment was measured as it ran off models of grassed waterways, no-till soil, plowed soil, and cement.
