Sustainable Agriculture
Some information that would help some small or large farms or those that are just doing a hobby farm. There have been some inquiries about Organic and what it means as well as control of internal parasites in small ruminant production, raising birds on pasture and if raising a small flock of poultry being beneficial. If you or someone you know has a question about any of this, just follow the linkes below to view or print the PDF.
Needs Assessment Survey
As the new Agriculture Agent for Polk County, I’m interested in learning about what topics and areas you want more information about. By letting me know what topics are interesting to you, I will be better able to develop and organize educational programs and activities which directly benefit you and your operation.
