PFI-ISU Farming Systems Coordinator
Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) is a twenty-year-old non-profit membership organization that works to foster “profitable, ecologically sound, and community-supporting approaches to agriculture.”  Information sharing is at the core of PFI, and on-farm research plays an important role.  In collaboration with Iowa State University, PFI farmers have carried out hundreds of on-farm research trials to answer the questions they confront about production, marketing, and the environmental effects of farming.
