Iowa Learning Farms, in partnership with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in Madison County, will host “Conservation On Tap,” Wednesday, November 30, from 6-7 p.m. at Iowa Distilling Company in Cumming, Iowa. The in-person event will provide local farmers, landowners and interested Iowans with a chance to discuss conservation practices and ask questions.

“Our intent with this event is to help build community through encouraging farmers and landowners to talk with their neighbors and ILF about topics important within the community, what keeps them up at night, what challenges they see with conservation practices, and what they want to learn more about,” said Liz Ripley, ILF conservation and cover crop outreach specialist. “There will be no formal presentations or agenda, just a chance to talk, ask questions, listen and learn while enjoying a beverage and provided food. We are looking forward to learning alongside everyone else who attends.”

ISU hosts at the event will include Matt Helmers, Iowa Nutrient Research Center director, and Mark Licht, assistant professor and extension cropping systems specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, and Liz Ripley, ILF conservation and cover crop outreach specialist. Iowa Distilling Company president, Kyle Doyle, will also join in the conversations as to why water quality matters for brewing.
