This field day will take place at Mack Family Farm in Park Rapids, MN. They use no-till farming techniques, cultivating crops like corn, soybeans, rye, sunflower, canola, oats, field peas, and proso millet. Additionally, they rotationally graze a mix of wool and hair sheep, incorporating the livestock into their cropping system to improve pasture health and soil fertility.
