Strengthening Iowa’s farms and land management together

August 22, 2024 | Kriss Nelson

Landowners and land operators have a common goal in farming operations and land management: optimizing farmland productivity, profitability, and sustainability.

Join the Iowa Soybean Association at the Clay County Fair for a landowner and land operator meeting as we dive into solutions for these goals, including opportunities and land management practices to elevate your farming operation.

The event will be held Sept. 10 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Clay County Fair Events Center, 800 W. 18th Street in Spencer.

“We are hopeful this meeting will bridge the communication gap and help promote the sustainability of the land through the use of cover crops and other conservation management practices, ” says Chuck White, Clay County farmer.

Landowners and operators working better together

Topics on the agenda are tailored for landowners and operators to help create a better working relationship and enhance production and profitability for both parties.

Programming includes:

• Beyond the Handshake: Improve Land Management by Strengthening Your Roles through Communication

• Reaching Your ROI by Embracing Your WHY – Together!

• Cost and Time to Implement Conservation Practices: Introducing Conservation Agronomists

• Farm Policy Updates: Initiatives for 2025

The evening will end with dinner and an opportunity for networking.

Come together

Land operators are encouraged to bring their landowners and vice versa. Landowners and operators who register and participate as teams will be entered into a drawing where both can win a prize.

Registration will include one ticket to the Clay County Fair, program entry and dinner. Early registration is encouraged. For those registered prior to Sept. 5, tickets will be mailed directly to you. Those registering after that date will receive confirmation with instructions on where to collect your ticket.
