Education through implementation is a significant goal of Peninsula Pride Farms, one that they hope to continue when they host their annual meeting next month. In addition to receiving updates from Peninsula Pride Farms members, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection, and other speakers, the meeting will also include discussions with Russell Hedrick and Keith Berns from Green Cover Seed as they explain the importance of rebuilding soil health. Peninsula Pride Farms President Duane Ducat says the speakers give an insight into where they have been so far and the importance of not stopping their efforts now.
The Peninsula Pride Farms Annual Meeting is on February 13th at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Expo Hall beginning at 9 a.m., with RSVPs due on February 6th. Recently, Peninsula Pride Farms received a $29,600 grant from DATCP to fund its cost-share program, encouraging farmers to try one of nearly ten conservation practices on their fields. They were one of 47 producer-led watershed groups to receive a grant from the program.
