    No-till on the Plains, a 501c3 non-profit educational organization, whose mission is to provide education and networking on agricultural production systems that model nature, will be hosting a field day in this area next month.
    The field day is set for Tuesday, June 20, at the Wine Glass Ranch, north of Imperial. The ranch won the statewide 2022 Leopold Conservation Award.
    Registration begins at 8 a.m., with the program kicking off at 9 a.m.
    Presenters will include:
    Logan Pribbeno of Wine Glass Ranch—“Diversifying Row Crop Acres with Animal Impact.”

    Steve Tucker of Venango—“Always Have a Plan B” Limited Moisture and Diversity.
    Candy Thomas, NRCS, Regional Soil Health Specialist—Rainfall Simulator, Aggregate Stability, Nutrient and Water Efficiency.
    Lunch will conclude the morning session before attendees make their way to field sites to see various seeded crops and observe soil resource concerns. Weather permitting, attendees will observe a cool season spring seeded crop, C4 summer grazing crop, as well as native range.
    Early-bird registration of $30 is required by June 13. After that it increases to $40 and there is a cap, according to organizers.
