“I am excited to start meeting with local producers and providing resources and information that will help farms achieve their individual goals.” – Jordyn Sattler
Farmers place seeds in the soil each year with the expectation of harvesting a successful crop. Careful planning, accurate decision making and swift action are crucial steps in this process. Farmers carefully consider farm profitability, the conservation of natural resources and community impact with each decision that is made. During each growing season the risk of market volatility, extreme weather, and pest outbreaks are possible if not expected. This complex decision-making matrix challenges even the most experienced farmer. Extension’s recommendations are grounded by replicated scientific field research. Collaborate with Extension and host an on-farm research or demonstration plot to add regional value to the cropping practice. Data driven decision making will prepare farmers to better withstand the anticipated agronomic challenges of the future.
