Profitability and Conservation Workshop

Tuesday, August 2, 2016 - 10:00am to 1:00pm

The Polk Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting a Profitability and Conservation Event on August 2 from 10 am-1 pm at the FFA Enrichment Center in Ankeny. This event will showcase the new Profit Zone Management Tool (PZM) by Agsolver which determines profitability on each acre of your farm.

Many farms have areas that lose upwards of $500/acre/year where it may be a better investment to look at alternatives to a corn/soybean rotation. At this event you will learn about the PZM tool, alternative cropping options, and cover crops. This will provide a great opportunity to improve the efficiency of your farming operation. 

Lunch will be provided for free. For more information or to RSVP, contact Jonathon Swanson at johnathon.swanson@ia.usda.gov or 515-964-1883 ext.3.
