Ask A Farmer Anything About Agriculture Webinar (VIRTUAL)
June 17 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
What the Farm is Going on Out There?
A virtual dialogue for conservation professionals to ask all their questions about agriculture.
Join SWCS CEO Clare Lindahl and SWCS member and Minnesota Soil Health Coalition Executive Director Mark Gutierrez for a virtual dialogue with Matt Tiffany, a Minnesota farmer growing corn, soybeans for seed and sweetcorn where conservation professionals can get ALL their questions about farming answered.
Matt Tiffany Bio
Matt grows corn, soybeans for seed, and sweetcorn for over 20 years and has always looked for ways to do things better. The short season soybeans and sweetcorn he grows provides a great opportunity for cover crops and Matt has enjoyed the success of that for many years.
Matt strip-tills after soybeans and before corn which Matt has experienced great success. Half of Matt’s land is in continuous no-till corn/soybean rotation and feels that there are numerous benefits to that as well. Matt has been Minnesota Ag Water Quality Certified for many years and continues to implement practices to benefit water such as rock intakes, sediment basins, and other conservation practices.
Many conservation professionals didn’t grow up on a farm or are new to positions. It can be hard to ask questions in the field without feeling like you’re losing credibility. This session is designed to be an open, judgment-free space to ask what you’ve always wanted to know and build confidence in having conversations and building relationships with farmers.
