Learn more at the Farm Progress Show, which starts today, Aug. 27 to Aug. 29 near Boone!
Not all crops in the Midwest are grown in the field, at least not in 50-plus acre fields. In fact, some crops in this part of the country are not grown in a field at all. Helping to illustrate that fact, the horticulture team from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will show how crops can be grown in greenhouses, on acreages, on lawns and on water (known as hydroponics). A team of specialists will be on site all three days of this year’s Farm Progress Show Aug. 27-29 near Boone, and their display will have something for everyone. https://lnkd.in/gpQGKAP2

Get to Know Your Carbon Landscape! Visit the Iowa State University exhibit at the Farm Progress Show, Aug. 27-29, near Boone. You'll learn about measuring soil organic carbon and managing cropping systems for better soil health. You also can take a digital field trip, via a touch-screen display, to virtually explore different Iowa landscapes and soils.
Those who want to gain a better understanding of soil organic carbon – what it is, why it matters, and how it is measured – can do so at the organic soil carbon display inside Iowa State University’s exhibit at the Farm Progress Show near Boone, Aug. 27-29. Mary Tiedeman, a soil scientist with the Department of Agronomy at Iowa State, is developing multiple interactive features to translate the science of organic soil carbon. Her team’s exhibit will also showcase how management choices shape soil health – or ability to support life - and soil organic carbon. https://lnkd.in/gr9sndja
