Ethan and Rebecca Book, of Crooked Gap Farm, will host a Practical Farmers of Iowa field day on Friday, Aug. 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., on their farm near Knoxville.
The Books raise more than 100 Hereford hogs on pasture and in a woodlot, and will share their experience with this kind of pork production system — including adjustments and changes they made as they scaled up their operation. Attendees must RSVP by Tuesday, Aug. 2. Contact Lauren Zastrow at lauren@practicalfarmers.org or (515) 232-5661 to register.
