Regenerative Ag Field Day at Junior Pfanstiel's Farm
July 8th, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM ΒΌ mile north of Hwy 20 on 522 Ave.
Lunch available with RSVP at The Breakroom in Randolph, NE
Junior is experimenting with strip cropping corn and cover crops. The idea is to exploit what is referred to as the edge effect (increased photosynthesis of the outside two rows) in corn to increase production of each corn plant and, at the same time, provide a "regen year" of cover crops in the field. Instead of skipping an entire year of income to give the regenerative year's cover crop, Junior is attempting to grow the corn and cover crop simultaneously. Next year, the regen cover crop and corn strip will be switched, effectively growing a cover crop over the entire field in two years while still generating his average corn profit each year.
