Two Sturgeon Bay farms will show you how conservation practices have positively impacted their operations during a field day hosted by Peninsula Pride Farms on August 30th. Brey Cycle Farm will host expert Jamie Patton for a soil pit demo while showing off the managed grazing system they have installed recently. Owner and PPF member Tony Brey explained its benefits to the Door County Daily News earlier this year.
The field day will then move to Olson Family Farm, where they will show the benefits of interseeding into corn and cover crops after winter wheat. Olson Family Farm owner Eric Olson says after trying out some of the practices over the last few years, he is disappointed he did not try them earlier.
The field day begins at 3:30 p.m. at Brey Cycle Farm before moving to Olson Family Farm at 5:30 p.m. ahead of the member appreciation picnic. You can learn more about the event by clicking this link.
