Keynote: Dr. Stefan Gailans, Research and Field Crops Director, Practical Farmers of Iowa

Topic: Farmer-led Research Fosters Curiosity and Continuous Improvement

Stefan Gailans is the research and field crops director at Practical Farmers of Iowa – a farmer-led, non-profit organization that specializes in equipping farmers to build resilient farms and communities. Since 2013, Stefan has led PFI’s Cooperators’ Program – their vehicle for conducting on-farm research on the issues and concerns deemed most important by their farming members. With his teammates, Stefan strives to empower farmers to generate and share knowledge through timely and relevant farmer-led research.

Zoom meeting details will be emailed to you at a later date. We encourage you to post on social media about the event using #ONFARM. Please visit the ONFARM website for more information about the program and to see news and updates: www.osciaresearch.org/onfarm-applied-research/
