We were delighted to welcome James Potthoff, IDNR District Forester, to share an engaging program on forestry last evening to a crowd that manages 1,158 acres of land.

We are often asked why farmers don't plow any more. Here is a demonstration of no-till planting by Connor Gustafson, our Soil & Water chairman, on May 12th. Less disturbance to the soil means improved soil health. All those billions and billions of microbes don't like to be turned upside down.
